Os Gemeos x JR x Pharrell, by gd79 on Dec 8, 2017 20:53:25 GMT 1, It's a piss take I can, and just did, buy one of the finest works of photography from the last century for a bit less than that.... And from a vastly more limited edition with a few decades of age to it. JRs works never seem priced to sell out, which is a shame.

Amazing to me that the four would make this a cash grab and not do it for the passion of art / music and price it for the masses as they are all extremely well off and definitely don't need the money.

Os Gemeos x JR x Pharrell, by pada1 on Dec 9, 2017 8:01:04 GMT 1, I shouldn't let it bother me... but I just don't get it. It's hailed as being a celebration of hip hop culture, but the mindblowingly ridiculous price makes a mockery of any purported link to B boys and the DIY graffiti culture of the 80s. This is more akin to the grotesque celebration of wealth and materialism of later hip hop eras. I genuinely now think much less of Os Gemeos, JR and Pharrell, four people whose previous work I respect enormously I have exactly the same feeling as yours. I was very excited by the announcement, looking at an opportunity to battle for an affordable piece of 4 great artists. When I discovered the price, I was so disappointed. Not that I can't afford it, but more that I don't value it that high. It was an easy pass for me at the end. I believe they missed an opportunity to make 300 lucky happy people for this end of year.
300 x 5500EUR = 1.65mio EUR. Aren't they ashamed to make such money with what's supposed to attract the common dude (i.e. it's sold on a website and advertised on instagram, not through a gallery)?

It was only recently the nothing to do with banksy records were fetching more than that !! i donโt think that this is an album as read , here and there. Itโs a 12โ so, a single with different mix I guess. It Will fit well in a hyped modern white kitchen in Little Venice or everywhere where there is money..
We all know that the Banksy โs lp have been overpriced and hyped ( again ) by some auctions ( or not ) sellers and galeries 2 years ago. When I bought them I have never paid a price like that ! And it was the right price ! Look at the Roa lps too, these ones ( I had the 3 too ) were really incredible as they were printed in real cardboard ! Guess the price ? 45 quids then ! For masterpieces never have been done in pictures sleeves !
As saying my grand dad - as hot as a wood stove ( rip anyway ) - from Burgandy : โ never pay a red wine or Bourgogne more than 7 euros , most of all are all artificial or traficated, and the โ brand โ and location does not have anymore sense as the little appellation โ hills โ are now going for miles in the valleys ,,.
They all lie. Commercial use as abuse ! Thanks :-)

I remember Social Animals, they were so great and kind, a little editor house with friends of JR. They gave me then ( I mostly bought books ) some gifts. Cool and young guys and girls. But one day, JR prices have been up ! ( I guess they are still cool )

I'll be buying a Mexico print nonetheless.

They all lie. Commercial use as abuse !
