Ok, a regretful (and very reluctant) sale of a very rare piece that ive owned for a long time... oh, yeah, and one item I would like to keep in Australia if I can. I bought this brand new and in person at POW when I visited them in 2004 and I have the original receipt to prove it - you will get a copy of that as prov, they didnt do the COAs etc back then of course. Since then its been stored flat (ie properly) and is immaculate. It has never been framed. This was actually the last signed one ever sold new and POW didnt know that they had it in stock until we were looking thru the stock looking for something else and when I saw it there, I bought it on a whim - id already spent a lot of money that day as it was! It was a good buy considering prices now and then, but to be honest I love the image as id seen the huge cardboard cutouts hanging in a gallery earlier that day, so i just had to have it... sadly my Mrs has never liked the image... so its sat in storage for the past 6 years!
Im sure most of us know what this looks like, but ive included a pic from the net for those who dont know the early works that well. Its a large image and would look great as a center piece of your room.
As to price... well... Im not about to let it go for peanuts as I do know its value, and I dont really need to sell it but the place where its being stored (a mates house) is getting sold and I need to move some of my things out and since it seems I will not be framing and using this one, I may as well sell it to someone who will. So make me offers, and no I dont want any trades, sorry.
