It's a stunning print and beautifully framed.

However as a UK buyer, I could get the one off eBay at the moment on a £450 or offer price, frame it, and not have to worry about import duties or possible shipping damage, for a similar price.

One of the previous posts mentions it coming to London this week, Is that likely, or did I misunderstand?

Thanks

The inside dimensions of the window mount are 30x23 so would assume the work is 31x24 or thereabouts

The waste collector edition of 58 was about half the price of the waste edition of 98. Avant art jacked up the price.

Curious which larger piece are you looking to buy? Or the dimensions if you want to keep that private? I like the 1m2 pieces but those are so expensive.

Best of luck, I'm envious. Wish I could drop 10-20k on one but it feels so indulgent. My mother would be upset.

After an expensive few weeks buying and framing I've come to the realisation that my Katrin Fridriks isn't going to get framed this year and it's a shame for it not to be displayed.

This was one of the few of the edition not to suffer dings in transit from the cool but unprotective packing.

It is still in it's original packing with the Avante tote bag but i have repackaged to avoid any issues with the corners getting dinged.

From the edition of 77 here are the details -

The print looks amazing in the flesh with the varnish really making the silvers pop.

There are a few on the bay for big money but I can't see any sales so open to offers under £1k.

Trades considered for art or Rolex sports watches

Please let me know if you would like any particular photos and I'll email them over, it's currently packaged and I didn't take photos when it arrived.

Cheers

No, under is correct...just not that far under

Bumpity bump

Some good chats and banter but no deal struck just yet

Legendary low prices right there. What a legend. GLWTS.

You might have seen this thread in which gmidd laments the loss of 2 Fridriks prints... I was the lucky buyer.

This was my first art purchase on the secondary market (and my second purchase ever), so I was a bit wary I might be scammed. A brief read through his post history and a browse of Addicted2Art.com allayed my concerns.

I'm glad to report that he's everything you'd hope for in an art dealer! Courteous and offers great customer support - which was lucky since we had a serious issue with UPS delivery.

The package took nearly 3 weeks to be delivered just 300 miles. It passed through 15 stops across the country before turning up crushed and battered. The prints were creased in half despite about 2 inches of protection. Worst of all, they denied the insurance claim on a technicality that there was insufficient bubble wrap - as if that would've prevented them from being bent!

The situation was tense given the high value of the loss, but graciously, Geoff/gmidd offered to refund me out of his own pocket, and we agreed a settlement that was heavily in my favour (leaving him something for the residual value of the damaged prints).

So thank you Geoff/gmidd! I can fully recommend his services if looking to purchase art. I'd be glad to buy you a drink if you find yourself visiting any galleries in Toronto.

fair to say we were both devastated.

they're at the framers being flattened between glass before being dry mounted and edges concealed by a window mat. i'm hopeful they'll look great, regardless.

still, so sorry for gmidd's financial loss.

exactly! the delivery nearly made it to me in 1 day, then bizarrely, was put on a flight to the middle of nowhere and did a nationwide tour of UPS depots. and they had the nerve to blame the shipper for insufficient bubble wrap!? despicable. 

I know what you mean. Had one shipped to me from the States and tracked it the whole time. It took nearly 4 weeks by USPS to get to Ireland. It went from depot to depot all over the States. When it did get here it had no top on the tube, no wrapping inside (it was wrapped) and damaged so much it went in the bin. 

Sorry to hear about the incident:(. Glad to hear the two of you were able to sort it out though, clearly hard to take a hit like that. As far as your framing goes though, I’d take a second thought about that dry mounting. That’s more cringe worthy than the condition of the prints in my opinion. Clearly the value of them at this point is minmimal, but you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who’d touch a dry mounted print. I suppose if you fully intend on owning them forever and just want them to look as good as possible it’s understandable, but I don’t think I could bring myself to dry mount anything haha.

Mini waste on hold.

Reflected OG still available.

Happy to look at offers as I have much bigger one coming so not looking to stick it in a closet !
