KAWS monograph update, by mmmike on Jan 14, 2011 16:32:00 GMT 1, Not surprising but disappointing, especially how long this thing took...
Hello,
Please accept the sincere thanks of all of us at The Aldrich for your interest in the signed KAWS monograph.
Regrettably, I must inform you that we will be unable to fulfill your order. As you know, we had only a limited number of signed books and received an unprecedented volume of requests for them, which were fulfilled in order of receipt. Your order was kept in the queue in case someone rescinded their purchase, but all the signed books have now been accounted for. Please note that your credit card has not been charged.
Thank you for supporting The Aldrich Museum.
Wishing you a happy 2011,

KAWS monograph update, by Happy Shopper on Jan 14, 2011 16:50:06 GMT 1, Sorry to hear that.
I only got mine a few days ago. I thought they might be numbered, but no. And no sketch either, just "KAWS...10"

KAWS monograph update, by snausages on Jan 14, 2011 17:00:32 GMT 1, Yeah bummer, I ordered mine from aldrich well before it made the rounds on the forums and blogs and I still missed out. So stupid, they must have had over 1000 orders.
I never ordered the book from Amazon because I thought I'd get this ... and now, it looks to me like the book is now out of print โ although that's just a guess based on the fact it has been sold out online everywhere for weeks. Although it will probably go in to a second printing.

KAWS monograph update, by Happy Shopper on Jan 14, 2011 17:52:03 GMT 1, Not a good release for the Print either.
You had to be in New York, with just a days notice (i think?), and then just a few released online with so much promotion and time delay that the whole world knew about it.

KAWS monograph update, by Brokencircle on Jan 14, 2011 18:06:48 GMT 1, I promise I'm not trying to rub it in, but I got the refusal email a few months back too and on Wednesday a singed KAWS monograph dropped through my door....
Sounds like Aldrich have made a right meal of this!
Drama and disappointment aside though, the book is excellent. Highly recommended!

I ordered two although at different times and got 2 rejection emails. Did you order two and only get one book? That could have been the reason.

KAWS monograph update, by mmmike on Jan 14, 2011 19:13:18 GMT 1, Now I'm trying to decide if i should buy an unsigned I think I can still get one in Canada or hold out and hope to get a not so crazy priced signed one on ebay? I would love one of the one where Kaws did a little pic with the signature.

I only ordered one from them, as I figured an unsigned would be cheaper to get from Amazon or elsewhere. I was really surprised to get this through the post!

Yep, so not a freebie, just a very pleasant surprise.

KAWS monograph update, by howies on Jan 14, 2011 23:17:27 GMT 1, the print has been pushed back also
Dear Aldrich Edition Purchaser,
Thank you so much for your recent purchase of the Aldrich Edition work by KAWS, Untitled (Image of SpongeBob), a nine color screenprint on paper; 20 x 20 inches; edition of 100.
I wanted to update you on our shipping schedule for this edition. KAWS decided to reprint the edition to new specifications, which has caused a delay in the shipping of your print. We have just received confirmation that the reprint is now successfully under way. As soon as the printing is complete, KAWS will schedule a time to sign the edition. We then anticipate being able to ship your work to you in early February.
Thank you for your patience; please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Wishing you a happy 2011,

KAWS monograph update, by Con Art Studio on Jan 15, 2011 3:44:36 GMT 1, The only place in the US that has the book in stock is toyqube.com. I've been looking for weeks before I ended up ordering from amazon.co.uk. I found out about toyqube after I ordered from amazonUK but amazonUK was still cheaper. the total cost plus delivery to the US was $42 and toyqube the cost was $45 before shipping.
I'm going to Aldrich at the end of the month to have KAWS sign it for me. Hopefully the book arrives in time. If i had known I wasn't getting a signed copy I would have ordered the book moths ago when it was available here.
By the way, I personally called Aldrich a few weeks ago and was told they got over 600 orders and only about 250 books and that they were fulfilling them in alphabetical order because they didn't have the time to figure out orders in the order they were placed. The store manager told me their order numbers are not sequential, which is complete BS.

Well that would make sense why I didn't get one but that would be real stupid because everyone got an order number, start at the lowest number isn't any harder than start at A.
And y'all can order the book from Amazon and Borders but I don't think the order will get filled anytime soon. I think the book has sold out. But like I said it will probably get reprinted, which may take months. Check your local art book store for a copy.
