Re: Josef's mural - artist Alex Gross is making a print
I can't tell you all how happy I am that this is coming together. I just love this painting. When I first toyed with the idea of contacting Alex, I hesitated for a bit, but then I thought "what have I got to lose?" I'm so glad it all worked out.

That's great, Lynn! As for redecorating -- I don't see the downside to that.lynnrxgal wrote:I LOVE that print and I did notice it right away in the program! Off to email Alex (um, the artist). Don't know where I will put it, though. Guess I'll have to redecorate around it!

Re: Josef's mural - artist Alex Gross is making a print
Woo hoo!!
I just heard from Alex and he says the print is almost done.
The final size including border will be about 20x30" and the price will be $199.
This is going to be a limited edition of (probably) 40 prints, all signed and numbered. He's going to put an order page up on his website and will let me know when it's ready.

And just for fun, here's a picture of Alex next to his painting "The Surrender" taken at the Jonathan Levine Gallery opening in New York City in 2008...

Re: Josef's mural - Alex Gross is making a print - update 4/9
Wow! I must say that that is one strange painting!
But I bet you could theorize and speculate as to its meaning for hours, hell days on end! 
Thanks, Lilly, for the update! I can't wait to order my print!

This is wonderful news, Lilly. Please express our deepest appreciation to Mr. Gross for this.. 
I'll have to give some thought as to how I can "secret away" $200 ... those lottery tickets just aren't coming through the way I had hoped!

Yes!!!
I was afraid he wouldn't get enough requests. I didn't know how many he felt he needed to make it worth his while.
Lilly, thanks so much for your work on this! I love the painting and I can't believe I'm going to have my own piece of Josef's office.

Lilly, this is a fine treat you gave yourself and all the fellow ML fans by following through with the request.
If only I had 200 $. Do you think there might be some sales later where I can get it for, say, 10 $? I'd pay in hard Euro...
Okay, then maybe not.

Re: Josef's mural - Alex Gross is making a print - update 4/9
I was just looking at Mr. Gross' web site. It looks like you can order the print now. The cool thing is that he's calling it "MOONLIGHT" and points out that it was used in Josef's office on the TV show. How nice! Good work, Lilly!
