I just happened to see this on ExpressoBeans and was wondering if anyone had any information on this? I contacted the artist but he said he is all sold out of them already. From what I could see the AP are from a very small run. Anyone happen to have this, know more about it or have an original price on it? I would love to own this but don't even know how I would find one now.

Try to contact these guys. I think the posters were for 20 euros, they still had stock after the exchibition was over so i think there is a good chance for you. Good luck
AE is a run of 15 on 110gsm Paper (much lighter and thinner than the AP) Cost $100 US
Reg of 130 on I believe a lower grade paper than listed above (have not seen that one though so I'm not certain of the paper quality) Cost I do not know either.. I wanna say like $30-$40 US was cost.. And I think they are still available from the Exhibit
The first 2 I do own and purchased directly from Ben, so those numbers are 100% correct. And the AP is fucking beautiful! Colors POP on the heavier archival paper as opposed to the AE paper.

The AP is sold out. I can tell you this for sure because I just purchased the last one last night/this morning.
Additional description:
The paper is 310gsm museum-grade (ISO 9706 standard)
Etching 100% cotton rag, with UltraChrome K3 inks.
Not sure what Etching 100% cotton rag means, but I guess I will find out in a couple weeks.
For me, The AP was worth it for the life of the print. The 310gsm archival paper will hold that image up over a VERY long period of time! The weaker paper, will lose its quality faster and is much more likely to begin to wave and fade alot sooner.
As for value... It all depends on who sells first and for how much. That's the only way to give these prints an after market price tag... but who cares about marked up prices around here!? :? I'll say this though.. it sure as fuck is a better looking print than the Klausen joint! IMO.

I must say I really love this forum and you guys. You all are so knowledgeable about these things and I appreciate the help a lot.
Check out the last few post over @ fivehorizons-exhibition.com/ .
I'm glad I saw this post, 'cause I totally forgot about asking if they had posters while there. So I contacted them and got both posters (not AP) - just the cheap stuff. Can't wait to get it/frame it!
