BAST - A shot in the dark, by pcant on Nov 20, 2010 9:23:58 GMT 1, I'm trying to find out if Bast every released an image I saw in the Faile 1999-2009 book. On pages 52-53, there is a shot of a wall in East London from 2002. In addition to the Faile paste-ups, there are several different versions of a Peter Sellers pic (as Inspector Clouseau, of course), with "Revolucion de Papel" written at the bottom.
It's the cover of the book of the same name, which I see is available, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it was ever released as a print?

BAST - A shot in the dark, by afroken on Nov 20, 2010 10:58:24 GMT 1, was your thread title supposed to be a double entendre?
I don't recall seeing any BAST releases of Peter Sellers as Clouseau. I might be wrong though. He has done various releases of him as Dr Strangelove though.

No, it was never a print.

BAST - A shot in the dark, by faute on Nov 20, 2010 13:03:18 GMT 1, I believe there is at least a small canvas, one color (red?), quite rough, of only part of the head (the part above the cup). I have seen a picture long time ago. But, I think it was on the floor in Faile' studio.
I tried to find a paster of this image around 3 years ago. I did not find and was surprised when Vegas had one later. Good luck, but it won't be easy to find and get one.
BTW, has someone ever seen a Savalas in an other form that on thin paper?

This and the middle one above (Clouseau and Pan Am) are really awesome, pelle, thanks for the pics.
Now the $64,000 question: What would something like this cost? And if not stupid expensive, where might I find it? Can I assume the few remaining are in collections and not likely to see the light of day?

BAST - A shot in the dark, by bonesy on Nov 20, 2010 20:07:41 GMT 1, I had a Strangelove on canvas, not in the traditional sense though. I bought it when visiting Bast's studio and purchased it unstretched. Im not sure it was even a piece of "artists canvas", it seemed to be more of a piece of a discarded sail from a boat that had been discarded. I had it stretched and have parted with it since, regretfully.

BAST - A shot in the dark, by pcant on Nov 20, 2010 20:12:51 GMT 1, Crazy stuff. Well, it sounds like there are a few out there but only a few, and far between, as it were. Something to keep my eyes open for. If you don't mind me asking, was the Strangelove "canvas" terribly expensive, either to buy or sell.?

Did you have it for sale on eBay a few years ago? I remember seeing one on there.

BAST - A shot in the dark, by bonesy on Nov 20, 2010 21:21:47 GMT 1, Yup, it was on ebay awhile back before Bast was Bast, I think it sold for less than $1000. Mine was not signed and the canvas wasnt quite as dirty as the one above but there was a thick pool of spilled ink off to the side.

That's a great-looking piece, and a good price. I assume it was a bear to frame, though.

BAST - A shot in the dark, by alexnh123 on Nov 22, 2010 13:34:43 GMT 1, the sellers piece appeared on a tshirt he did with agnes b. i picked one of these up in NY some years back. had considered framing it. i just had a quick google but cannot pull up any images of it, but it's the same full colour screen print that appears on the cover of his book. I''ll try and photograph mine and post it for you.
