tips wanted!, by onetwothree on Dec 10, 2015 20:42:44 GMT 1, Pose does such good quality prints, good size and still only around ยฃ300. Agreed. A fantastic artist. His OGs have gone up in list quite a bit in the last few years, but he does release a couple of prints or so a year as well as prints on wood for roughly $1k and hand painted multiples in the $2-3k range. oh yeah and the hpms on wood! They're like originals, he handpulls the screenprints himself one those, so they are different to the paper ones, and lots of hand finishing and collage. I have one from earlier this year and it was about ยฃ1400 I think.

A pretty good deal to get an OG like piece on the wall considering the 36x48 is basically a multiple of 4 and cost 5x as much.

tips wanted!, by beefstockcube on Dec 13, 2015 0:47:35 GMT 1, Everything's pretty much been covered.
But what you like, size wise I tend to look at a wall and then decided if one big frame or a collection of smaller would work then start collecting and framing for that space.
Welcome!

tips wanted!, by Feral Things on Jan 13, 2016 19:12:38 GMT 1, I know this thread is a little bit old now but for what it's worth my advice would be...
Know your history - Knowing where street art has come from will give you a far better appreciation of the work being produced today and help you to differentiate the work which has some authenticity from the vacuous work that's just being hyped. Read Subway Art and The Faith of Graffiti, listen to Planet Rock and The Message, watch Style Wars and Beat Street.
Books not prints - There's probably a fair chance that any prints bought when you first start collecting won't interest you after a year or so when you've got a much better idea about what you like. Books have the advantage that a) they'll give you far more insight into what an artist's work is all about when you're still finding your feet, b) they're a lot cheaper, and c) in 10 years time you're probably more likely to flick through the book on your shelf than you are to want the print on your wall.
Buy what you love - Everyone above has said this for a good reason! Don't buy for investment, don't buy because something is the flavour of the month and don't buy because you quite like something - buy because you love it and you're smitten. That's the work that you'll enjoy the most and that you'll want to stare at for years to come.
Beauty and brains - Think of buying a piece of art as like getting married; you want someone that's funny, interesting and intelligent too and not someone that's just beautiful. There's plenty of meaningless fluff out there and if the art you buy is just aesthetically appealing then chances are that at some point you're going to get bored with it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with beautiful art (far from it) but personally I look for something where the concept or history or message connects with me too.
Question everything - The art market is one of the largest unregulated markets around and there are inevitably some people who sadly have ulterior motives. But, aside from that depressing point, art is very subjective so because someone thinks something is good or bad doesn't make it so, irrespective of how knowledgeable or experienced they may be; it's all about what the art does for you as an individual. Question everything and that includes everything I've typed above!
Oh, and enjoy the art. That's what it's all about!

Brilliant post and very very helpful - I particularly like the suggestion of buying books in your first year as you learn about the scene and your tastes mature
Thank you so much Feral Things - I wish I had read this in 2010 #horrorsunderthebed

Best of luck D

tips wanted!, by quayesy on Jan 14, 2016 12:12:46 GMT 1, I posted a very similar questions a few months back when I first started buying in earnest. Lots of good advice here and on my thread "starting my collection" if you can find it (not sure how to link it).
From my own experience I would echo many of the thoughts here.
- buy what you like (i bought some pieces in the initial excitement and later realised i didnt want them) - Good framing is expensive, but worth it, but factor that in to your thinking when you purchase - if you plan on collecting a lot get a decent portfolio for storage, unless you have a lot of cash you may have to hold some pieces until you can afford to frame them - learn, sign up to mailing lists / and read the forum you can see what is being realised, peoples thoughts on art etc. - don't get too disappointed if you miss out on release dates, more people fail than succeed.
That's basically a re hash of what I was told. Welcome to the forum!
