Sam Taylor-Wood print available at 20x200

Jonathan is a new limited edition print by Sam Taylor Wood. It is available at several sizes and prices, the edition of 100 at 10"x8" looks pretty good value at $60 this size is nearly sold out, so move fast! You can buy it here.

I'm slightly put off by 20x200 only coming with a signed certificate of authenticity rather than the print itself being signed and numbered, this seems fine for the small prints, but a 20"x16" in an edition of 50 for $600? or the 40"x30" in an edition of 10 for $3000? These don't seem very good value compared to her editions from White Cube and Counter...

SAM TAYLOR-WOOD Escape Artist (Green and Red) print - has arrived

My new Counter Editions Sam Taylor -Wood print Escape Artist (Green and Red) arrived this morning and it is marvellous! Much larger than I was expecting (no bad thing) it's tonal qualities are fantastic, those blacks are a beautiful rich black and the wooden floor looks amazing.

Now I need to get it framed, oh and buy a house with lots more walls - this one is full!

Currently still only available as a pre-launch special price of £550, you need to use this link otherwise it is not listed on their website. Get ordering now, this price is sure to rise fast as the edition sells out.

UPDATE - Price to rise on 6th of February! Buy now!

Taken from her iconic series Escape Artist, Sam Taylor-Wood has produced a new print exclusively for Counter Editions - Escape Artist (Green and Red)(2010). Reminiscent of the artist’s earlier Self Portrait Suspended series, these photographs show the artist similarly suspended mid-air, in this case from brightly coloured helium balloons. "I have to hide my face in the pictures. It is a combination of hiding the grimacing pain - because I think that destroys the photograph - but it is also because I don't think you need to see my face." She said the pain was necessary as the photographs were a response to her fight against cancer. "I made them shortly after I was no longer referring to myself as an ill person," she said. "There is a definite sense of physical freedom from the constraints of illness”. Indeed, there is an air of the escape artist, of the magician, to these works. The artist does seem to be performing a miraculous act of levitation. The balloons surely aren’t enough to stop her slumped descent to the hard ground below. And so what is holding her up? Perhaps nothing less than an act of faith.

I've just ordered one of these, get yours here.
