I hesitated on the Mandala on metal and I shouldn’t have. I know another member bought a dope stencil.

I hesitated because of the VAT/ taxes. Last time I bought a piece overseas it ended up being an extra $3500 or something like that. A bit of sticker shock.

Art shouldn’t have import duties in the US. $3500 seems crazy and I would definitely feel some sticker shock if that happened to me. Who was the shipper and how did they arrive at that number?

When I ordered my HPM from Munich last year to the US I didn’t have any duties, just $30 owed to UPS for being a broker which all things considered seemed fair at the time.

A gallery in Paris and one in Japan. Figured it was a shipping to California thing because when I bought from LSC for the damaged show in LA I got hit with CA taxes. Talk about sticker shock lol. The only time I haven’t been hit with a tax is when I buy direct from the artist.

this was the best list I have seen in a while. I try and get on most of them just in case there is something I really want. This one had a bout 10 that I really wanted. only snagged one but truth be told was my favorite across all price points and mediums. CANT WAIT.

Here's the collector preview for those who want to take a break from the RBG release: https://imgur.com/a/1yRLDec

My understanding is that a lot of these works have sold, and I don't know exactly what's left.

Wow, there are some costly pieces in there.

Like that he did a Cobain piece - not sure about the selection of photo to base it off... gotta be something "better" than that..?

Literally after 7 years of living in Dubai this website /forum got unbanned. It just took Shepard coming to town to make it happen. I’ll try to post things here from the show opening and Q&A I attended. For now go to my IG page
@notudon
to watch the videos of the interview and see some pictures. The show is very well done. I’ll try to go back and answer some of the questions above.

I’m just glad to have access to this forum again. It’s been too long.

The VAT taxes are for the import into the UAE. It’s 10% tax on the price per piece.

The show sold very well according to the gallery director when I was there. I think most smaller pieces (18x24’s) had sold. Try this link for the viewing room with what sold /available. It only shows the bigger pieces. https://www.operagallery.com/shepard-fa ... ewing-room

Which one did you get? I can get some photos of it at the gallery for you.

If you’re taking requests — I got Fan the Flames HPM on wood and haven’t been able to see it up close. Any chance you’ve got (or could get) a good photo of that? That’d be awesome! :D

I’ll try to get some. If memory serves, it’s hung higher and behind a table. Remind me how to post photos on here.

You could use postimg.cc to upload, and then paste the forums link it gives you, or use the direct url inside an img tag (there’s an img button in the message composer here; click it and then paste the url inside the tags it generates)
