Thanks for the link, OM.
If you own any work by Christopher Wool ( Chicago native) now based in NYC you might consider selling some of his work if you ever sell off any of your art.
His works were often available for under six figures 10-15 years ago. The current auction market has his work going from $500k-$7 million plus.
As limited as his work is, this may not be a bubble.

I think you might be the perfect person for this question.
I have been looking for one of the limited edition prints of Alfred Eisenstaedt's "Children at Puppet Theatre" for quite some time (produced by Circle Gallery I believe, representing the Time Life collection). I saw one 3 years ago on Martha's Vineyard and for whatever reason did not purchase at the time. Now I can't find the print from any reliable source.
Any recs?

What a special piece.
There is a place in the Buckhead part of Atlanta, Jackson Fine Art. I would contact them. If they do not have what you want, I would trust their advice even though Jane no longer owns the gallery.
Good luck.

Rob -- thanks. Going to call them as well
Gallery that wine&art referred me to has a very cool "negative strip" version of 3 of the "finalist" photos for Children at Puppet Theatre. Hoping to find the full size of the main pic (which I think was offered at 16x20); but this negative series is a good option so far.

Rob's recommendation is a wonderful and serious gallery. I dealt with a well informed lady there but cannot recall her name for the life of me. I have her name in Dallas, but still in Santa Fe until October. She was well educated in the art world and should be able to help in case Rob's guy is not available.
Good luck.

This Eisenstadt picture of children's expressions is incredibly powerful and joyful. In my previous life, I was a child psychologist and considered buying this in ~1995 when it was released by the Circle Gallery in association with Time Life. The offer price was $1200 back then for a signed limited edition (of 250 print). As a grad student back then making $11,000 a year and accumulating student loans, there was no way I could make this purchase. This same print now auctions for ~30x the original price.
But, since this picture has been on my mind for the last 20 years, I figure it's high time to search for one of the more recent limited releases the sells more a less astronomic price
have great weekends all!
Parcival, I feel your pain. 
I have had minor misses in collecting art of the last 25+ years, but had two major misses, and one still haunts me to this day.

I'm not a big collector by any stretch of the imagination but I missed buying two things which even at the time I knew were, even if not great deals (I think they were, which makes it worse) things I would cherish for years. I hope to not do it again, but at the same time know I probably will.

By any chance, was it made of glass??
Speaking of early recognition of art that would eventually become famous and valuable, we saw a great documentary last night about Herbert and Dorothy Vogel. Fascinating story.

VinT, I would have sold that piece if I had bought it 30 years ago.
The other piece would have remained in my family for generations.

What an incredible life of art. Both were civil servants and Herb never made over $23k a year, yet never sold any of their art worth multi millions.

I saw what I think is the same film at UNLV at a show of the 50 works they donated to the state of Nevada. While I think it was great what they did, there was also a little of the "disease" of hoarding in at least his makeup. They definitely created a fire trap which could have ended in disaster.
Started a conversation yesterday on a Jun Kaneko work.
We shall see.

Moving on. I have never had much luck or enjoyed working with this gallery in Santa Fe or at their Dallas location before they closed.
Going to start the process on Hyunmee Lee and David Rothermel pieces today.

So when you say you haven't had much luck working with them, is it in regards to negotiating a price for the art work? Do you typically negotiate on a price rather than buy it at list? Is there a general range that you look at in negotiating a price?
TT,
Will write later, we are walking out to a gallery reception ( changing out featured artist like every month) then off to dinner with gallery owner.
It is not a quick and simple answer.

Unfortunate. I truly appreciate the work of this artist (paper and paint specifically) and have for many years.

D was thinking we just buy it at the preview next week.
Perhaps...
I think this is a stunning piece. I just wish I could afford it.

Pointillism fan are you, IW?
While I much prefer the interpretation using Ben-Day dots ( Lichtenstein & others) these Neo-Impressionist works have a hyper feminine feel for sure.

... I will keep this in mind, KSC02. We may very well need your help. We rotated pieces for a number of years keeping works in storage. Now that the kids both have their first homes, and both love art as well, they have ( on loan D always points out) taken 60+ pieces to their homes.
We are having fun hunting for new works for our Santa Fe walls.

I've got a question for you art buffs...
There's a Manet litho that I've fallen in love with, however, I can't find any prints for sale anywhere.
I've done a bit of research, and it appears that, as a result of the age of the work, the copyright has expired. Therefore, I am legally free to print my own reproduction.
My question is, do any of you have any experience having lithos printed, or recreated?
I'd like something of higher quality.
I'm doing some local research, but I'm curious if there's a more obvious solution.
The work, for those that are interested, is Guerre Civile

Wouldn't the original stone be long destroyed? Are you saying take an image of work, transfer it to a stone and then reprint?
Well, at least it's a happy subject.
Well, at least it's a happy subject.
Thanks for replying, Old Man. I'm clearly beyond my scope here.
What I mean is that I really like Manet's Guerre Civile, and would like to have a nice reproduction of the piece mounted and framed for my home office.
Since I can't afford the original, but I don't want a poster, I'm wondering what my options are.
I can get my hands on a very high quality TIF/JPG to print out, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about printing it out.
Is this common? Weird? Dumb?
Thanks.

I don't know a lot (I think we know someone who does who will eventually chime in here) but it's my understanding that the best prints are made using the Giclee method. Here is a link to an explanation: What is a Giclee print?
There is one problem in that the term is not exact and has been appropriated for sometimes lesser copy techniques.
FWIW, this appears to be the highest rez jpeg out there.

Believe it or not I have a line on a real one. I'm suppose to hear shortly about the details, ie price. I would then run it by W+A to see what he thinks. Anyway I'm having fun.
Jorge - That's a very rare print from some quick checking I did. Anything authentic is going to run $8k and up and one thing I read is less than 20 available over the last 40 years. Also poked on posters, which I don't think are bad in a niece frame and none. Suspect it's not something a lot of people want in their dinning room. Like looking for an original Ramones record
I struggled with the whole giclee concept a few years ago. In my mind it's a fancy print, but signed off on the quality by the artist (IIRC). I couldn't bring myself to pay a premium ~$2-3K for something that was "printed". I mean that's almost like printing $$. Just my uninformed opinion.

I have the first one.
Old Man, thanks a lot! Regarding the high res JPG, that's the one I found, too. However, I found a website that sells "extremely high resolution" TIF's for only $10. They let you download the a watermarked version of the same file for you to review quality before paying. If I go the way of a local print / giclee, I'll like go that route.
I'd be curious to hear what the price for the real one would be. It will likely be out of my price range, but I'd still be interested to hear more... and may not be a bad way to begin an art collection feel free to email me at jorge at artisanmg dot com once you hear
Paul, that's what I found as well. That's the reason I was leaning towards simply printing up one of my own, I just wanted it to look decent. And since good ole' Edouard has long since passed, I don't feel as though I'm ripping anyone off, and it's completely legal to reproduce.
Snipes, from what I've recently learned, it's nothing more than a printing process. I'm sure there are "signed" Giclee's or Giclee's that are "authorized" by the artist that fetch a premium - but they've only been around since the early 1990's it seems, and Manet was worm-food by then.
