I think your HM is some what over priced. Glwys

Wow that price on the Braddock Tiles print....yeesh

What's your best price to sell today?
Thanks 

Didn't the last Heroin Miller sell here for 400£?

I just saw it online at a gallery for 600

Best offer accepted on that one:

Valid point perhaps about the arms, but I never ascribed such a literal meaning to the work, rather I associate the work as a satire on the machismo inherent in the way beer was advertised in the 1970s. In today's era of advertising regulations, yet alone political correctness, such ads could not be run.



 

Hey andyroo0312 - in answer to your question, I am left-handed so I would instinctively pick up a pint (glass) with my left hand, more so than my right. But back to the print. Given his age, I assume that Harland Miller recalls the same adverts that I do, whose subtext was very much about how macho it was to drink beer (bitter) and how good it was for you. Statistically there are many more right-handed people than left-handed people but the beer advert in my view is addressed to both left-handed and right-handed people as I don’t think it draws a distinction.

As for Harland's print I see it as a direct attack on the machismo of those beer adverts at that time. I doubt the print would be so personal and affirmative of Miller's own actions. Miller has indicated in the past when they are, for instance, "Pipe Down ****", referencing when his Dad got Alzheimers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I think it is as you say, up to the individual to attribute their own personal meaning to the work. I have briefly outlined mine. So are you talking bollocks? I would say you are the best judge of that  . I don't think so. You are simply expressing your view on something which unless Harland Miller has specifically addressed the point, we are left to our own devices as to its meaning. Some views might seem more plausible than others, but that involves too much subjectivity. My view is that we connect to art in different ways. The same visual representation can be interpreted in any manner of different ways informed by our own experiences and knowledge. That the work has led to this discussion must surely be a good thing.


Sorry to OP to get off point on this sales post but GLWTS to the seller and if this bumps it up, I hope it is some consolation.

as ling has sold his Retna . mine is still for sale...

Yes. PM me 

Hi, do you still have the Eelus?

Sold a few sets of postcards, have a couple left. Any takers before I post tomorrow?

I use both arms, that way I can pick up two pints at once no problem.
