I did approach the gallery with the line 'we really like it but our budget is nearer half the asking...". To their credit they contacted the artist and offered a similar commission piece but without the fading neon.
It was by Nathaniel Rackowe, the red part slowly fades (which is the best bit really).
Still looking for something sub £2k to go pride of place in the hallway, talk to me.

yes, careful, the shipping might end up being just as much as the work, then if it's not in free citrculation in the EU you'll have to pay 5% VAT to get it into the UK.
starfish&coffee's advice is pretty much bang on. You might get 20% off the asking price if you're very lucky / the gallery's desperate. As a general rule they're getting 50% of whatever you pay so consider that when making your offer
but having said that, if you like it then buy it. I spent far more on a painting than on anything else in my life and have never regretted it for a moment.
who is the artist? go on, tell us, then we can all be rude :P
