Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by craigf on Dec 23, 2010 15:45:37 GMT 1, This isn't going to help you, but I have one and its one of the few that passes the GF test and isn't described as "just a cartoon". They are huge and I went the whole hog getting it framed with museum glass and it looks fantastic. It might take you a while to find one, but they're definitely worth it. When I went to Elms my intention was only to buy St Giles and by the time I got to the front of the queue I had decided on two and thought about the full set. Luckily I got out quick otherwise the credit card would have taken a very big wack!

What I found exciting, mostly everyone on the forum says the prints look even better up close and personal.
A full set would be great not sure enough space to do it justice.

Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by Sundowner on Dec 23, 2010 16:40:36 GMT 1, To reinforce Craig's point, they do seem to go down very well with the females. I also went with the intention of buying one (184th Street), came away with that and St. Giles as well and then got told by my fiance to go back and buy WTL to complete the set.....only time that has ever happened I can tell you!

Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by Cardiff on Dec 23, 2010 18:15:26 GMT 1, To echo everyone's comments above...these Parla prints are AMAZING in the flesh. I've got a WTL on the wall and my only regret is that (due to it's size) I don't have a better spot to hang it...it deserves to be a centerpiece.
Good luck in your search...you won't be disappointed! BTW, there were a few St Giles for sale recently (not sure if Holden sold his), if you're unable to find a WTL.

Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by jusdeep on Dec 23, 2010 18:22:09 GMT 1, I have to agree, the Mrs loves my WTL and the print always gets lots of positive comments.
The WTL is more than a happy compromise until the Mrs wins the lottery and buys me an original. Museum glass really sets it off nicely and constantly changes with different light. Could stare at it for hours.

I think they were ยฃ800 to start wih. I am only guessing but I reckon you'll get for between cost and ยฃ1k. But if its something very special too you and you have some spare floating around just blitz out a huge amount and you'll have 30 people pming you in minutes.
god luck in your search, its a beauty.

Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by craigf on Dec 24, 2010 9:15:18 GMT 1, Pretty much agree with Slammer, how much you are willing to pay does make a difference and people often sell without much of a mark up for framing, but its a monster size wise and costs a lot to frame so I think your best bet is finding someone who hasn't forked out for framing. The museum glass alone for mine cost as more than some people will spend on a complete frame

Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by jusdeep on Dec 24, 2010 9:27:13 GMT 1, You may be fortunate enough to find someone who needs the money and would part with theirs for this kind of money, but in my opinion you would be very lucky to find one for under 1k (unframed), probably between 1.2 - 1.5k for a framed one. As craigf mentioned, the framing including the museum glass (for mine) was more than most people would dream of spending on a print or original.

Wanted Jose Parla World Touring Letter (Found), by richhutton on Dec 24, 2010 10:57:15 GMT 1, Thanks to everyones help and advice.
Luck was on my side. I did a deal on a mint unframed one and will definitely go for the museum finish, probably a dark frame. The final pick up day from the framers will be my first and definitely a very memorable one.
My intention is to have only a few pieces I really enjoy and spending
a good chunk of cash on framing to get the maximum enjoyment out of it is a no brainer.
But I am starting to think buying pictures draws some parallels to a crack addiction. Hopefully I can be self-disciplined ....

Welcome to the forum rich.
I am afraid you have very much hit the nail on the head regarding buying pictures. There needs to be some sort of AA equivelent!
Congrats on picking up the Parla.

Fantastic - if expensive - output from Mr Parla. I can't believe no-one has nominated these for best prints of the year...

They were released December 2009 so I guess they might of been too late for last year and maybe not eligible for this?

For me, there hasn't been a print release in 2010 that has come close to these Parla prints. Sundowner's pics are the first time I've seen 184th St in a dark frame...really looks great! Here's my WTL.

Agree - that is beautifully framed, and adds to the piece without overpowering it. Looks great.

You know, I've always thought Jose Parla was one of the top 5 most over-hyped "street artists" ever on this forum, but I think this piece in this frame looks fantastic. You (or your framer) nailed it. Congrats.
