Ai Weiwei's Shanghai Studio, by Neate Michael on Sept 22, 2011 12:18:10 GMT 1, Are these photographs definitely signed... the description does not make it clear.
At the end of the day though, these photographs wouldn't have made my wall. I guess that Ai may not even have taken them himself.

Looks clearly signed and numbered in the sample image to me ?
Ai is an accomplished photographer asiasociety.org/aiweiwei so I wouldnt expect him not to have taken them ?

I would imagine everyone got an order receipt, immediately on purchase (as is the way with these things); what I'm not sure is whether hundreds of people got an order receipt and only in the next week they'll start sending out a 'sorry' email when they realise they've pre-ordered far too many. Has anyone received a second confirmation/order complete email or a rejection email?

Ai Weiwei's Shanghai Studio, by drevil on Sept 23, 2011 15:39:59 GMT 1, I received confirmation and have been working with Caroline on figuring out shipping to the US. Their shipping carrier is quoting 170 euros for insurance and shipping, which seems a bit steep to me for the size of this edition. But, in an act of great customer service IMO, Caroline is going to shop around a bit with other carriers on Monday. If anyone has any recommendations on this front, please pass them along.
Regardless, it will be less than $1K for what I think is a fairly iconic piece (given his recent detention and the subject matter of the image) from one of the great artists of our time. Not too bad for less than the cheapest unsigned Banksy print, IMO.

I think 1k is more like a steal for that. I'm sure they will be flipped for way more than that.

It's hardly 'great' customer service! I'd be charging ยฃ20 to ship something of that size and value.

Crazy price though, I agree, but the museum kind of has a corner on the market at the moment...

Whatever. $170 is ridiculous, and i'm merely arguing that it's not 'great customer service' to find something cheaper but just common decency.

Whether you call it good customer service or common decency, in the end they are looking for a better rate. That is what matters to me.
Also, it is 170 euros, not $$$.
Again, I agree, crazy cost estimate and totally unexpected when I received it this morning.

Every tube I've ever bought from the US to UK, insured shipping has been in the region of $50-70. I'm sure you *could* send it for ยฃ20 but you'll be looking at untracked and/or uninsured...
They are prob. shipping it flat. That's why it is so expensive.

If any UK buyers are quoted similar, get them to send you the package dimensions and book FedEx or TNT to collect in on your behalf via www.interparcel.com/. It should cost ยฃ40-ยฃ50 + insurance. Otherwise, give Steve a call at Flight Logistics to see if he can help: 0117 304 1000.

True, they shipped my Gormley print flat. I believe they shipped the print overnight and I received it within 24 hours maybe that's why it is so expensive.
