By the time I left there was a ton of people there.

I've never seen so many posh people looking/buying street art. I guess that's what happens when the venue is in West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area.

Contraband 2 - Aug 8th 2014 Hollywood, CA, by Poster Bob on Aug 9, 2014 20:16:23 GMT 1, I call it like I see it. This looks like a sleazy "investment" lounge. Name one new artist black apple has introduced the world to. They don't have a permanent, physical site and only have a show displaying old works by previously known, Norwegian artists once a year. Wow, they add so f**king much to the street art scene. Thank f**king God they exist. I am so happy that they can offer me Dot Dot Dot and Dolk prints twice a year and make 100% profit.

They help spread the word IMO, and they are essentially 'curating' the production of new works from these artists, so I think they're contributing more than they're taking away. Yes, they have 'sold out prints' for 2x cost (like nearly all other galleries) but I think it's odd to hold that against them. Especially with so much emotion.

Before I left, Both of the Eelus sold, one of the 3 John Doe "miss universe" sold, all the Whatson Canvas besides "David" all sold, all of Zacharevic "Enjoy" originals sold besides the one with a kid spraying enjoy, out of the 4 Dot's "Handgun" red print sold, Black A/P "Theft" print sold, 1-2 Chervrier sold and 1 Ben Naz original wood sold, it seems that besides the Eelus, people stayed away from pieces above $3k, before I left not a single person claimed any of Snik's work

Contraband 2 - Aug 8th 2014 Hollywood, CA, by bjornca on Aug 9, 2014 22:23:40 GMT 1, Well, contrary to some other opinions, I thought the venue looked great - not sure how a gallery in a nice area of Beverly Hills / West Hollywood would make it more "street". I don't get what everyone's problem is. There was new work from a number of artists, and at least two of the Harland HPMs were sold (so people were buying above $3k). The guys are trying to bring artists to LA that are otherwise not here - so yeah, they are contributing to the LA scene.

A little too convenient how many immediately showed up in galleries, etc., especially given the small edition size.

A little too convenient how many immediately showed up in galleries, etc., especially given the small edition size.
Let us break it down... 1-
Black Apple Art, as stated above sold some in June. Held some back for Contraband2. With the cost now being $1,000
2- Graffiti Prints show had some for sale a few weeks ago.
3- Rat-King sold a few.
4- Released from source at Pieceofsheet.com
5- GalleriGeo had a few
So out of the edition of 25. Piece of sheet maybe sold 15 of each color way.
As a Dot fanboy, I am starting to feel like I'm being boinked without lube. This is getting a bit much. The worst part is that the 'secondary price' they charge seem to be based on ebay sales. Which are always accurate? Right?
I will say that a member here asked me to 'bid up' a piece on ebay for him. #truestory.

With the cost now being $1,000 That was the price before the show, when you had the option to purchase them framed or unframed, they were all framed with matching color spacers for each, they were $1,250 a pop. Someone did buy the red one quite early.

So, of course the price hike wouldn't bother the guy that just added 2 Dot Dot Dot canvases to his collection.
