Different strokes for different folks...Wasn't too in to the anonymous sex party prints, but don't mind this.

Thinking about picking up one of Conor's books since I don't know if i'll ever be able to afford a print of his. It looks like there are 2 hardcovers out, Watch Your Palace Fall and then a self titled one. Does anyone own either of these? Which would you recommend grabbing?

I recommend Watch Your Palace Fall, you should be able to find this for cost, unsigned.

Stupid for you to be selling a CH print, but not offer worldwide shipping. Which is why this went unsold

Zero demand for a 9"x12" over priced giclee/inkjet has NOTHING to do with demand for his much larger screen prints.

Don't disagree and not my point, there are 7 or so on eBay and though this was a minor investment for flippers I only wonder how the next release will go.

Why do you seem to only care about flippers, print values and eBay sales? The 7 or so on eBay were bought by morons trying to make a buck without knowing anything about the art market or Conor Harrington. Same goes for those who continually try to flip faile.

Who cares how the next print release goes. If you like the print then go for it, if not then don'... BUT stop worrying about what others do or don't do. Form your own opinion of the art instead of basing your opinion on how well it sells on eBay.

And by the way, if you are trying to use that small giclee to judge the demand of the next Harrington print release, or base his hype level like you did in another thread, then I don't think you really know anything about his work or his market which is why you got burned trying to flip this.

Wow went really deep on that one. About time someone shows they can post more than one word or one sentence posts such as luls or drymount etc... hence the reason for posing the question, to start a conversation. Unfortunately in forums these days you run into so many, pricks, who think they know it all and can't enjoy a simple conversation.

But, I find it interesting and I care how the next print release goes as some of the works I've I been interested in were taken quickly then sit unflipped. Additionally many talk about flipping here and elsewhere is all so it gives me an idea. But thank you for all your wisdom captain obvious. I am not sure how'd I'd have faired without it.
