Artist Proof, by rubinity on Jan 3, 2008 18:52:00 GMT 1, Can anyone tell me what the average price difference between standard and artist proof prints? Its strange because in some instances I find the price can be three times higher in others its only a third higher?
Plus is it really worth paying extra for an artist proof especially when the difference in price is high.
Any advice on this would make me a less confused man which is always a good thing

Some people prefer not to have APs so that would decrease their value in some cases I suppose.
So how long's a piece of string? Not much help really, but I don't think there are any hard and fast rules on valuing APs. Pay what you can afford and are happy with - trite but true.

And me , can't see the point if its number or an AP, if you like the image that should be all it comes down to

Artist Proof, by top on Jan 3, 2008 19:08:04 GMT 1, ..don't think there is a standard ratio/format, just what you are willing to pay personally for what may essentially be the same piece(give or take a couple differences..unless,its been added to by the artist and is an exclusive piece/short run).
..I have an AP which I paid double the normal print price..I think it was worth it as is a limited edition of three and has an essential addition that makes it better than the original(print).
Only my opinion, others like manty above see it different(re AP cost)
Up to you entirely

this is not only true for me, but anything over 10% of the 'announced' run in total (including all the APs, PPs, SFPs, and any other included proofs) is a major disappointment for me.
In the end, however, I am very happy when the exact number are known and then everyone can make up their own mind if they want to purchase something from the 'limited' run...
Nothing I hate more than to hear later of an additional 75 SFPs created...

The Pop Tart AP's are no different from the numbered Editions, they really shouldn't be worth anymore IMO... If they were different colors then it would be worth the added cost, otherwise just a waste of money for a pencil mark that says AP instead of a number...

the proof isnt whats left over...a proof is the very fist one printed for the artist to check if everything is in order and it looks like it should,
like my 1st print..i printed 1 from start to finish, to see if it looked ok, then did the full print run

Edit: Actually, it's a Studio Proof, but you get my point.
