Thanks for starting this thread! He just has a huge exhibition in Vienna, at the Albertina (runs until October 10), and I had the tremendous luck of getting an invitation to a "talk with the artist" one day before the show opened. This talk was also filmed: vimeo.com/albertinaFrom his work and then reading that he "lived in the mountains of Massachussetts" I had the notion of him being kind of an eremite when in fact he was just the opposite, very funny and eloquent, and also kind enough to answer a lot of weird questions from the audience and to sign his book. The pieces are incredibly huge, some took an entire wall. If you ever have the chance to see his work, please do so. Most pieces are in private collections (Mick Jagger's for example) and are not made available to the public that often. I do not think he has affordable prints. I wish he had! Paul Kasmin Gallery has a few editions listed, but without a price tag. |

www.artnet.com/ag/fulltextsearch.asp?searchstring=walton+ford¤tCategory=ArtworkThis link takes you to: Works for sale by WALTON FORD on Artnet.com After you arrive, click on any thumbnail in order to see enlargement and detailed info ( most say " contact gallery for price " ). I wish they'd just post the price but prices do change because of auction success and other factors (such as the death of the artist). __________________________________________________ Signed: Robert Singletary__Tuesday Sept. 21, 2010__9:30 P.M.

Love this thing so much for some reason..much more than his conventional work. At 9x12ft, it would be something else to see it in person at the scale too.

Saw his work in person at Louisiana in Denmark some time ago, such a genius both in execution and vision.

I'm afraid if I look at this too long, I'll get an aneurism trying to decipher whether this is incredibly cool, or horrifically tacky. Rock n' roll either way, it doesn't get much more spectacular than The Stones or Walton Ford. |

Rock n' roll either way, it doesn't get much more spectacular than The Stones or Walton Ford. So this is now available as a lithograph from Paul Kasmin Gallery for $300. www.paulkasmingallery.com/shop/walton-ford_grrr |

The Kasmin shop had a handful of different signed print editions and posters if you are interested (I don't know what any of the prices were).
