Henn said she works out a price with Azoulay for each of the pieces he sends and then doesn\u2019t mark them up any further.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the drawing of the horse available at Uptripping would cost the buyer $3,500, while a piece from the same series is being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bittanfineart.com\/product-page\/guillaume-azoulay-camargue-plein-soleil\">sold through an online gallery for $7,500<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fun for us to find new homes for artists and bring new stuff in so we like to keep the pricing reasonable,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Henn said one of the best parts of having Azoulay\u2019s art on her gallery\u2019s walls is the conversations she gets to have with people about the pieces, whether they are familiar with his work or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who know him, really know him, \u2026 because like any artist they\u2019re famous in their worlds and if you know that world then it\u2019s like holy crap,\u201d Henn laughed.<\/p>\n<p>She herself became a member of the Azoulay fan club when she purchased the gallery\u2019s first piece by him at auction. When it sold quickly, Henn reached out to the artist via social media and developed a relationship with Azoulay.<\/p>\n<p>Uptripping now gets all of the Azoulay pieces they sell directly from the artist and frame them in-house using the services provided by Framewerx.<\/p>\n<p>Since reaching out to Azoulay, Henn said two other pieces of his have sold from the gallery\u2019s collection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(People) are coming in specifically to see what new pieces we have by him, which is so cool,\u201d Henn said. \u201cHopefully, we will always have different pieces from him in here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/winter-park-gallery-selling-one-of-a-kind-pieces-from-artist-featured-in-the-louvre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uptripping\u2019s front wall features three of Azoulay\u2019s pieces, including the one-of-a-kind Jimi Hendrix and Keith Richards, and the original Jerry Garcia, called \u201cGarcia.\u201d It sells for $3,250.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com Guillaume Azoulay\u2019s one-of-a-kind \u201cWin Again\u201d on sale for $1,725.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com Uptripping owner Shannon Henn holds an Azoulay print of a jaguar on sale [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20571","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-16 15:00:39","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KRKY Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20571\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
