Do any UK peeps fancy combining orders and sharing shipping on this? Seems to be the same price to ship 2 or 3 as 1 of them. Expensive otherwise.

It's around $40 if my memory serves me correctly. Not extortionate but pretty much doubles the price of the book.
I only just saw your post Sven and I've just accepted a kind offer from a forum member to sell me a spare copy with normal postage costs. Sorry fella!

I got ya guys covered. We'll worry about it when they show up. If anyone else in the UK wants one, just let me know. Could easily add another to the order before they ship this coming week.

There is also the smaller color scale - 16x20 - that's priced at 5500.
Interested to see the rest of the pieces from this body of work.

There's a couple of very strong pieces in the preview photos. I particularly like the one with the 3 nudes. It has the qualities of a renaissance painting, which I don't think is a coincidence. I'm told by one of Ryan's gallerists that he spends quite a lot of time exploring art history having come in to the game with no knowledge at all. You can see the transformation in his work since the Moon Milk series. EDIT: make that 4 nudes:  |

Not sure if it's just the strength of the Euro at the moment, but there appears to be about a 15% price increase across the board, non inclusive of VAT for those abroad.

50% increase since his show in London in 2009.
All the best pieces have sold too.

Here's a nice little interview about the new body of work.. www.dazeddigital.com/photography/article/9853/1/ryan-mcginleys-somewhere-placeDazed Digital: What is the idea behind this exhibition? Ryan McGinley: The title of the show is 'Somewhere Place'. It’s a new body of work that I’ve made in the past year. It’s a mixture of photos taken in natural landscapes and studio portraits. It's the first time that I’ve ever incorporated colour studio photography into my work. I think the photos are looking even more cinematic now. There’s the sky and storms and animals. It’s about being out in the wild, among nature’s forces. DD: Obviously, you've grown so much as an artist, but I wonder, how do you maintain the freedom and delicious sense of surprise you had when you began? Ryan McGinley: I’m always being surprised, that’s what’s fun about being a photographer. You never know what people are going to do or how things are going to end up looking. If I knew what I was going to get from the beginning, that would be boring. That’s why I set up very active, kind of chaotic shoots. Especially when you put a person and an animal together. Animals are uncontrollable, and the emotional response of a person to an animal is a warm, raw emotion to see. Animal days are the most fun. DD: I understand that you go through a lot of film and photos when you work. How do you know exactly when the image is perfect, whatever the mood or idea? Is there a common thread or statement that you're looking to capture? Ryan McGinley: It’s about working hard. You can’t come to a great picture without taking a lot of bad ones too. It’s working and waiting, and then you’re rewarded with a happy accident. I shoot for hours and hours in a whirlwind to get one perfect picture. Most people don't have the patience or the wherewithal to do that. You have to be crazy and obsessive to shoot for 14 hours straight and then sit and edit for another 14 hours straight. But that’s how I do it. I narrow it down until I get to my vision. It’s just a gut feeling. DD: In many ways, both wild and domestic animals seem to be the perfect subjects in your work and in this exhibition. They are free, maybe the freest beings, which experience pain unapologetically, as a vital part of life. Would you say this is true? Ryan McGinley: I like to photograph animals because they’re so squirmy and surprising and cute and they crawl on you. They’re playful. Like the turkin I shot—it’s a hybrid of a turkey and a chicken—it was so punk rock. It had so much attitude. And people love interacting with animals, people become very unselfconscious when they’re playing with animals, and it’s fun to shoot that. It’s also funny, like watching YouTube pictures of kittens playing. Taking that silliness but making something beautiful out of it. DD: What do you want to show with this exhibition that you haven't shown before? Is there a side of you that you haven’t expressed yet? Ryan McGinley: I think this work is a bit darker than before. A lot of the photos are shot at night, in stormy weather and apocalyptic-looking skies. Some of photos are almost hard to look at, like the one of the body covered in cuts and bruises, or the turkin in between the girl’s legs, with the tampon hanging out of her vagina. It’s a kind of gross side of physicality that I’ve never really dealt with before DD: Through your work, you're creating this world where we want to live, at times simply and at times quite decadently. How do you feel it's changing, evolving, from this exhibition and beyond? Ryan McGinley: I wouldn't say the world I create is decadent. I would say it’s dreamy or adventurous, but it’s hardly decadent. We’re traveling in a bus and camping every night. We make s’mores. In terms of evolving, well, I guess now there are animals in the world too. There’s humour and darkness. I’m just always looking for new landscapes and new people and new ways to capture movement. New Experiences. It’s always something new. DD: What is next for you? Ryan McGinley: I never really know what’s next. I’m going to watch the Oscars and eat vegetarian meatballs. That’s all I can tell you about the future. |

Ryan McGinley, Levi Strauss & Co. Inc., Christopher Perez, Ratio 3 Gallery, Jose Freire, Team Gallery, Inc., Agnes Andree Marguerite Trouble, Agnes B. Worldwide Inc., Peter Halpert, and Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art have been sued for copyright infringement by artist Janine Gordon bit.ly/qp8Gj8I don't think her case is that strong. |

Interesting that McGinley tried to settle with her though...

"McGinley has offered a very modest settlement, which Gordon has rejected, she said, adding that she has no plans to drop her lawsuit. She’s seeking $30,000 per infringement. Multiplied by 150 infringements, it could add up to real money, or at least enough to cloud any plans McGinley might have for this summer’s annual naked, cross-country road trip."
Priceless.

Settlement doesnt suggest guilt, just that the fight isnt worth the cost. With something so subjective it would seem like a long and painful battle over something when clearly the motive of the otherside is money not validation.
