Posters from the Past
During some weekends I’ll feature some notable prints long sold out and highly coveted. It’s prints like these that drive this hobby from a casual interest, into an absolute addiction. First up is “Heat Death” by Jeremy Geddes. Released in June 12, 2009, “Heat Death” was part of a series of Cosmonauts done by Geddes. And to this date, it is the “Holy Grail” piece for anything Geddes. It is a 11″ X 25″ Giclee print, with an edition size of 100. Original price $160. “Heat Death” did not sell out until late Feburary 2010. It’s amazing in retrospect now to look back and realize that it took nearly 8 months for this print to sell out. The fact that this print recently sold in an eBay auction for $2,205 (unconfirmed) really drives that point home now. However, neither points diminishes, or emphasizes this piece of art. It was ALWAYS a great piece. And now it is a classic.
Fascinating views on that!
Thanks, it’s a fascinating print!
It was always a great print.
When I got Red and White Cosmonaut Heat Death was also available. I recall being 50 bucks shy of getting it as well and just thinking “no worries, next month” then forgetting for a while only to find it had disappeared when eventually I returned. Much regret.
