Baltic Degens (ALL 8 WORKS SOLD)

SOLD OUT

The 'Baltic Degens' artwork (Limited edition; 8 pieces): What better link between the real economy and trading than to frontrun some of the world's most important trade routes?
The work admires the depth of the dry bulk order books through the lens of Battleship - where as in all trading situations, based on seemingly similar information availability, buyer and seller are making very different trading choices.

Do you even move size if you don't move DWTs by the millions per year?

This one is for the traders, the ship owners, the commodity cowboys and the Swiss landlocked know-it-alls with the upper hand.

Size is ~120 x 170 cm, or appr. 4'0" x 5'7" (Big enough to have been used as the 'door' in Titanic, and Leo would for sure have fitted)

The print is created on Canson Infinity Platine Fibre RAG, and is safely placed under 3mm museum-grade Diasec (as used by the Louvre). All 8 individual artworks are visibly numbered. Price starts at €12.000 and after every sale are increased by 11%. The trade route gets popular and ship rates go up... 1 out of 8 has found home in Greece, 2 out of 8 has called port in Singapore. 3 out of 8 is seafaring to London and 4 out of 8 is going to lead the space in Hamburg. 5/8 has been secured for Miami, 6/8 is now earmarked for Hong Kong and 7/8 is to the US East Coast. And finally, the last work, 8/8, is traveling to Norway.
