I look at everything in my life as an investment. . . Not just my stocks and not just my art. It seems like he is pretty hot right now. Thanks for the advice.

-I just picked up my first Choe print.... Hoppers... absolutely love it! Should have it framed pretty soon.... I actually passed on the city girl because I couldn't get past the spoons ( ) over her eyes..... and my wife was not that thrilled with it. I can tell you that Hoppers will blow you away in person... ( I am guessing City Girl is the same way) - I only buy what I like.... not in it for the investment... but I would say with Choe... you should not get hurt in the long run.

here's a story:
money.cnn.com/2007/03/19/magazines/business2/Liverich_profits.biz2/index.htm

BLK/MRKT has shown/sold his work for years and published him in BLK/MRKT One - a very talented painter to be sure... www.blkmrktgallery.com/store/?cat=7

Even tho he's one of the hottest out there allready.

David Choe is the man and his City Girl print is probably one of the coolest prints I've seen for a while.

I would probably pay $2k to see that in the flesh hanging on my wall.

Buy it

Pez - hang it at mine while you think about selling it.

I'll be round in 5.

more than if he likes or not, he wants to know whether its a good investment (sigh) and quite honestly no such thing in this burgeoning scene apart from probably Banksy

long term Mike I'm saying, short term yes - but really hard to point at anyone and say 5 years down the line they'll be here and doing well, prices holding up..i hope a few prove me wrong for sure (Neate's and Micallef's for instance) ..who do you think?

Sofa King is an awesome print. Can't comment on City Girl as I missed out. But as an image it's striking.

i have a few choes (city girl 76 / city girl 150 / hoopers / scarf / dry humping / sofa king / hell dogz) and love them all dearly. i think he'll be around for a while but get the points above. banksy, neate and micallef are the stars of this scene in the uk, probably choe is included in the context of the wider collector from abroad (USA in particular). its still shocking how much prints go for, bit i remember a story someone poster on here a while back about a girl in NY in the early 70's who spent all her earnings on warhols. at the time, her friends thought she was mad spending the money, but look at her investments now. same could be said for hume/emin/hirst in the 90's.
i've started rambling, but my point is the city girl 150 is in my opinion, one of the best images ever released as a print. check out matt zippys framing of it in the this forum, it rocks. you might pick it up cheaper as a bin on ebay if you are lucky, or it might go silly, like 'save my soul' by micallef.
all i knows is, that if i have a london gallery, i'd be representing choe. no question.

wow, that's a great frame job!

that might have been the one at Found.
