Olympic Prints - Team GB Rio 2016 Limited Edition., by Ruggs on Aug 1, 2016 17:03:44 GMT 1, I'd like to think the vast majority of customers that purchase from CE are genuine, proper collectors and not the type that 'want to buy for a quick flip' crowd you get on these boards. They'll be nothing worth flipping anyway. I don't want to flip it but I don't purchase without thinking about taking a bath in the medium term if I lose my job and need to pay the mortgage. My comment was in no way aimed at you njr911. I was just pointing out that these will appeal to a different demographic. The type that don't see these purely for making money but genuine fans/collectors.

Though at least the soup can ripoff says something besides, Ice Cream tastes good. And Theirry's work actually has historical value. True love always wins? Life is Fantastic? Jolting Body Sweaty Skin, Irredscent in Twilight? Three paint strokes in the colors of the Brazil flag? This stuff should piss you off, not zedsy's soup can. At least he knows the correct price point for hiss**t. I don't think you should judge these artists on the basis of a single piece. It's about their previous work, and their place in art history, and that you have a chance to own something by artists that sell originals for unaffordable prices. And I love David Shrigley! With that kind of philosophy, I hope that Gerhard Richter and Banksy starts selling their literal shit droppings. Imagine that, each edition will be a unique 1/1. Though depending on their diet and fiber intake, the supply might soon outweigh the demand and the flippers will soon move onto other artists who release more limited work.

Contemporary art isn't for everyone I suppose. Horses for courses.

These are prints for the olympics.............
I'm really confused!!!!? Can't people just purchase for the sake of art itself ?

These are prints for the olympics............. I'm really confused!!!!? Can't people just purchase for the sake of art itself ? Art? I thought this was a discussion on $10 olympic posters being sold for $600. I guess the wealthy will buy anything as long as it's organic and handcrafted.
What qualifies as art these days? And why am I so pissed off about these editions?
Perhaps I just hate it when artists ride on their own coattails, hawking their wares for ungodly sums. The term 'ungodly' being relative of course, to one's own means. In my mind, the discussion of monetary value always comes into play when it comes to art. If all of this alleged artwork was for free and by no-name artists, would these posters even be discussed?

I think generally for a print the paper is of better quality, archival ink, perhaps more vibrant colored ink, or whatever else snake oil is being sold

This is why I didn't purchase a GWRB at ยฃ1000, regrets...I've had a few

Olympic Prints - Team GB Rio 2016 Limited Edition., by nobokov on Aug 2, 2016 15:31:39 GMT 1, "Jungle-green, sand-yellow, and the blue of the Brazilian sky and sea are used in an exhilarating display of Hodgkinโs painterly genius."
"The form of the ice cream riffs on the Olympic torch, which has represented the positive values associated with the Games since ancient Greek times."
"The snaking mountain road symbolises the winding journey to achieve true love, represented by Christโs outstretched arms at the summit."
I love how all these "artists" managed to ignore all of the social issues that are going on in Brazil, not to mention all of the issues that the Olympics bring to each nation. This is an urban/street art forum, an art form that usually deals with political issues, yet there doesn't seem to be any concern or discussion on the meaning of the art being purchased. I like how there were 17 pages about the pejac show, but rarely a post on any of the ideas that came out of it - it was mostly about the lenticular.
I guess as long as the work is a non-derivative, signed, low-numbered, hand-finished edition by a well-known artist who I can someday hope to resell, but not before I hang it on my wall to show how clever I am, I'm good....
