From a quick look, there's Basquiat (The crown & skull), Haring (the bottom right) and Hirst (everything going on in the middle with the butterflies.
It sure looks nice, imma go for one if its around 600$
The whole arrangement is reminiscent of Gustav Klimt. The hands are from his Adele Bloch-Bauer I:
The "F" and the "A" floating out to the right remind me of FAILE.

From the ''You've got a thousand bucks...'' thread, my #1 fantasy print was :

Now this a month later. Really, it almost feels like something I could have commissioned. It's exactly in the vein of what I wanted, but to be honest, I believe it to be my least favorite of the 4 images. Where do you guys rank it?

Beautiful Sigh is my favorite of the bunch.
EOE is in the same vain, and I'm very happy they created a print.
The 3 OG pieces from the show will never see the light of day.
MB don't work that way.
I hope this print isn't going to be over $700.

Otto, $700 is a lot of money. It's hard to tell, because this is new territory for them due to size and number of colors, but from my understanding, they try to price their prints right at market value. That also means that once the dust has settled, be it here or on ebay, a few are usually available more or less for face, which is usually even truer for hard to store/costly to frame bigger prints. My bet is that if you can't buy it from MB for $700, you'll be able to do so from someone in need of Christmas money. $700 is a lot of money. They can't do this to me. I hope it's not above 400 GBP. I wish it's under.

True...but this is also an edition of 30. That will likely be a factor as well.
Not sure if theyll be $700, but itll be close.(imo)

I wonder if they had their price set when they released the info. If they had it, I wonder what's the reason to keep it secret any longer. If not, I wonder if the fans' reception and speculation has any influence on the ultimate call. Probably not.

I think it's also worth noting that their prints always looks even better in person. The layers, colors, varnish, etc just add so much to each print. Like I said before I love it, just hope there is some way for me to grab it. Hmmmm...maybe a Christmas present from my girlfriend.

just jealous i guess.
i am guessing $595 depending on fluctuating exchange rate...
All of their female faces come from a know living person.
Who is the face in Nothing New Retold???? I thought it was the female bus driver on the 51 from Elephant & Castle, High st via Peckham,,? thats why i bought the print.....

I might have to rank this as my favorite of the four. Although I like the face and umbrella in Picasso's Girl, the rabbit and the hand bother me a bit. Of course, it is still available to purchase at Brooklynite for $4100. But for my money, I think I'd rather have Elements.

Dont blink or you'll miss 'em when they drop.
its been bugging me to say that....
and they are all quite beautiful, but, as pictured above I'd go for number two.
Wouldn't be surprised if these aren't 500+ quid, or mid fours at the least, imo..
