New Herbert Baglione US show, by rkitek on Dec 11, 2009 20:55:38 GMT 1, Lovely RPM, you beat me to that one! I can only echo your scentiment, there are some very nice drawings at a very affordable price. Hopefully some of the artists out there will take note and follow suit.

New Herbert Baglione US show, by RPM on Dec 11, 2009 21:22:47 GMT 1, Thanks rkitek.
I agree. I think rather than focusing on print releases, it would be nice if more artists (and galleries especially) recognized that there's a ton of "newbies" out there that are being introduced to the world of art. I understand that sometimes a print is the best alternative when the originals are simply not in the realm of being affordable to the average person. The recent Parla and Choe print releases are perfect examples of that. But I also think more artists should consider putting out affordable original works to help foster their fanbase.
To me, there is nothing like the feeling of looking on your wall and seeing a beautiful piece of art. The only thing that, in my opinion, makes it better is knowing that you are the only one in the world with that image - not 50, 100, 500, etc. other people. It just makes it that much more unique and special.
Just my $.02. Anyhow, I truly applaud HB and Fifty24SF for putting this all together. Again, $250 for a framed OG is about as good as it gets, especially in these economic times ...

New Herbert Baglione US show, by RPM on Dec 11, 2009 21:56:24 GMT 1, Cheers spirit! Yours is top notch as well. There's something about the eyes, eyebrows, and strands of hair on the figure in your piece that is ... well, I don't know what it is, but I stared at it for a long time yesterday and thought long and hard about grabbing it.
Congrats to all on their new purchases. And lee3, please let us know your thoughts on the show. Really interested to hear how the "Herbert 2" painting looks in the flesh. I loved it when I saw the image in the Juxtapoz feature and would have grabbed it if I only had won the lottery.

New Herbert Baglione US show, by robertlondon on Dec 16, 2009 19:56:51 GMT 1, Here's the one I bought:
I just love the curves!
I see Baglione as something of an urban art nouveau revivalist. His images are both beautiful and despairing.

as an artist, you will totally dilute and cheapen your market, not to mention compromise your artistic integrity.
ask yourself this....are you buying something someone feels the need to make for themselves or to satisfy the base needs of collectors?

New Herbert Baglione US show, by lee3 on Dec 16, 2009 22:30:08 GMT 1, Francis, I may be mistaking the context of your comment and if so my apologies.
>>>as an artist, you will totally dilute and cheapen your market, not to mention compromise your artistic integrity.<<<
I disagree on both counts as I think it's entirely artist specific. As to your latter point, if the artistic vision is to try your hand at a bunch of drawings and see how you regard them, then you have not compromised your integrity whether you care to sell them or not.
As to the former point that a bunch of drawings would dilute and cheapen the market in favor of fewer originals accompanied by a print run, again I disagree. It is no secret in the art market that the most expensive artists tend to be the most prolific. Clyfford Still notwithstanding, if your goal is to increase price over time then you need to produce enough work that it is collected in as many hands as possible. The two most prolific artists of the 20th century are by far the most expensive. It is rare that modest amounts of work equate to a more robust and expensive market (as opposed to your dillute/cheapen analogy) and imho is one of the reasons the photorealists struggle from a pricing standpoint despite the way they embraced the print medium.
I'm not going to suggest Baglione will be on any kind of short list and will let history decide that one but I disagree with your points as I interpret them.
>>>ask yourself this....are you buying something someone feels the need to make for themselves or to satisfy the base needs of collectors?<<<
Neither, I'm buying that which moves me at a price I am comfortable with. Further, I would never consider hanging a Baglione print due to my own preferences, but this will be the second piece of his that I hang on a wall.
