Some sealed in envelopes, others loose. Taken from Tristan Eaton's. This project is inspired by the now defunct'Gold Standard' but in this case, our currency represents an actual painting instead of a pile of gold at Fort Knox. Overall, this project is an egalitarian social experiment in Fine Art Printmaking, created to encourage community building within Eaton's community of collectors.
This is not meant to be taken too seriously, and it should be a lot of fun for those taking part. Here's how it works: 1. Tristan Eaton made a 96" x 48" painting entitled "Apocalipstick 2022". Tristan Eaton & Dead Press had the painting professionally appraised by Ronnie K.
Pirovino, a member of the International Society of Appraisers. This is the appraiser's independent, unbiased and professional assessment of the painting's value. Tristan Eaton & Dead Press made 1000 small, limited edition fine art prints (SLICES), each representing 1/1000th of that painting. USING YOUR SLICE: While we hope you enjoy your SLICE for its inherent artistic value, SLICES can also be used to trade with Tristan Eaton and his publishing company, Dead Press. As an owner, you will be invited to trade for designated art products at certain in-person events. (These events will be relentlessly promoted on social media, so you'll be sure to know when and where they take place). The trade-in value will be based on your quantity of SLICES and the most recently posted appraised value. Eaton will have the painting re-appraised at least once a year, and the appraised value will be posted publicly.As the value of the painting changes (hopefully it rises), so should the value of the art SLICES. Any collector who owns SLICES equal to 10% or more of the then-appraised value of the painting obtains the privilege of visiting the painting (shown personally by Eaton). The painting will be kept in climate-controlled storage.
However, Eaton is entitled to display the work, loan it to museums or other cultural organizations and exploit the image, at his sole discretion. Take good care of your SLICES. They must not be lost, altered, or damaged beyond normal wear & tear.In the event your SLICES are lost, altered, damaged, or destroyed, you must report it to Dead Press immediately so that appropriate action can be taken. No substitute SLICES will be issued. If we become aware that SLICES have been lost, altered, damaged, or destroyed, we shall be entitled to issue an equal number of new SLICES to the public.
After expiration any trades will be made by our sole discretion. SLICES are NOT currency, and they are NOT securities.
They are simply limited edition, fine art prints with a cool story and some social perks. Let's not make this too serious guys! SLICES can be gifted and resold at owner's discretion.If you regift or resell your SLICES, the new owner will be bound by these rules, terms and conditions. If you obtain the privilege of visiting the painting, you must contact Dead Press well in advance of your visit. Please let us know how many guests you would like to bring, and provide us with preferred visit dates & times.
Our business activities often require travel outside California, so visiting privileges are subject to our reasonable availability. In addition, the visit must take place prior to December 31, 2027. Ownership of one or more SLICES does not entitle you to: (a) possess, use, transfer, control or commercialize the Painting, (b) permit or prevent others from doing the same or (c) give you a security interest in the Painting.By purchasing one or more SLICES you acknowledge that Tristan Eaton (and his heirs, successors and assigns) has the sole right to possess, use, transfer, control or commercialize the Painting in his sole discretion, subject to these rules, terms and conditions. In the event of any dispute with respect to SLICES, Eaton (and his heirs, successors and assigns) shall have the exclusive right to determine how these rules, terms and conditions apply. Any decision he makes shall be final and definitive. SLICES may only be used for barter / trade for in-house Tristan Eaton / Dead Press products.
SLICES may not be used for barter or trade with Tristan Eaton art products involving third parties e. These rules, terms & conditions are subject to US law and the laws of the state of California, and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in Los Angeles County.
