Saw rare April Greiman Does It Make Sense? 1986 poster for auction on ebay, but its too expensive for me. I’ve been looking around for one, and have also seen a couple others too that are really pricey. Does anyone have any recs on how to find her posters that don’t cost an arm and a leg? Would love to have one
I’ve always loved April Greiman’s work. Out of curiosity, I checked her website. WOW!
She charges $500 to $3000 for her posters, which are just printed using offset litho. I’d love to have one (or two or three), but they’re out of my price range.
I checked eBay and found her Does It Make Sense poster — probably her most controversial and famous. Considering the prices of her new posters, at $2700, that one sounds like a steal.
Wow, I could not fathom paying $500.00+ for a print of a poster
If I really liked it that much, would just find a high resolution copy of the image somewhere and get it printed onto a large piece of paper.
I guess you can charge whatever you want when you’re iconic haha
Just wish there were some out there…
Found this:
BTW, this is the kind of Art where my college History of Modern Art professor would ask me, “okay, what don’t you like about this one, and why.”
I recognized the name and I remember reading about her work at university. Now that I come back and look at the poster, I get the feeling it ‘vibes’ with the young generations aesthetic. I’m also ashamed of using the phrase young generation because technically I’m still young (30).
I’m not a fan - it’s arty but the message is hidden by the complexity of the design. A cardinal sin in my book. Maybe it’s art not graphics.
