Charming Baker "Sweet Nothing" Sotheby's Gallery S2, by Amber Halo on Apr 5, 2016 16:56:17 GMT 1, I appreciate that screen grab of Nellephant, though it doesn't do it full justice. What's missing is she's standing in a spotlight and there's more distance and space in the finalized work - so that you are looking down at her.
To me, this is classic Baker. Capturing a certain mood, a dreamlike quality with a sense of children's fear (like panda boy) all with no extra strokes.

That looks great. Much more my cup of tea that the elephant one previously shown.

Agree. CB is a well established artist, and probably draws his own crowds, but would have expected a bit more noise around his first show in a bit...
And that'll be my excuse for not buying a nice 50k oil !
Take that CB !

How do you work that out? His works sells because of shows like S-2, not in spite of them.ย Or are you still hoping prices will drop so you can afford a Panda print?
Hoping for a price drop... It's already here if you haven't paying attention. And I know his work sells very well after a long conversation with him. Next.

Charming Baker "Sweet Nothing" Sotheby's Gallery S2, by trapnel1 on Apr 11, 2016 19:59:54 GMT 1, That's about on a par with prices from the LA show. The Baker diptych at Phillips this week suddenly seems like a ridiculously low estimate. What Phillips show? London auction on 13th April

Any cheaper for a limited (by who attends) signed poster seems like one is asking for it to go on Ebay. KAWS posters for his Philly show were $100 and weren't signed. If they are under $50 or free then God bless CB.
