Micallef prices, by klyde on Apr 29, 2010 10:48:16 GMT 1,
Why do you think they have fallen so much over the last 2 years?
An Improvised Minotaur could only muster bids of ยฃ280 on ebay today.
Thats surely rock bottom now?

Micallef prices, by Dellboyy on Apr 29, 2010 11:08:14 GMT 1, Plus it didn't actually sell as it had a reserve on it... doesn't that tend to put a few people off bidding in the first place?

Micallef prices, by AoT Framing on Apr 29, 2010 11:30:26 GMT 1, Like with every artist it depends on the Image. The Impure idols set IMO were initially overpriced, now at around the ยฃ500 mark each they represent good value for money. Girl in a red dress recently went for ยฃ2600 on the bay. All artists prices fluctuate from time to time and rather than worry about market price, see it as an opportunity and buy while you can. I personally rate Micallef very highly and think his work is getting darker and better all the time.

It's certainly getting darker - I happened to see a few originals yesterday which were being framed before making their way out to LA for the Laz show in June.
Can't say much about what I saw - except the predominant colour was...black.

It shouldnt really!
Bidding is just a few clicks of the mouse. You bid what your willing to pay. In this case it didnt get past ยฃ280. 400 is quite a large edition really though. And the initial price was insane.
Long may they drop. I want a cheap FF!

Micallef prices, by kunstrasen on Apr 29, 2010 14:09:50 GMT 1, I think a reserve always puts people off bidding so I'm not taking the ยฃ280 very seriously...another one sold few days ago for around ยฃ560 without reserve so I guess that is more what the print is worth and going for at the moment.

I bet if i asked most of you which of his man canvasses you would like to own most, it would be something from way back. His new work just doesnt cut it for me.

Agreed, a Micallef OG would be in my top 3 artists along with Banksy and Neate (can I make it top 4 to add Parla  )
