Bowie prints, by robart on Jun 19, 2008 12:53:10 GMT 1, I asked a few weeks ago about bowie prints here and there price but not many people knew about their prices. I found this on ebay today and was shocked that nobody has bidded on it at all this is a rare piece
cgi.ebay.com/David-Bowie-Signed-Numbered-Limited-Edition_W0QQitemZ320263116062QQihZ011QQcategoryZ360QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Do you think artists like david bowie were popular 10 years ago but now people are not interested and more interestedd in new art.
If so does this mean alot of the urban artists today wont even be worth a pound in 10 years. I always though alot of them would still hold value.

Bowie prints, by sfield on Jun 19, 2008 13:14:48 GMT 1, I bought a Reality lithograph a few years ago from the bowienet site for around ยฃ80 - signed. That sold out a while ago but this one is still on there...

Hope this helps. On other musician art - I've just bought one of Bob Dylan's prints.

What next, Faile trying to get christmas number 1??

Bowie prints, by Pattycakes on Jun 19, 2008 13:17:33 GMT 1, I love Bowie's music but like Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ronnie Wood et al, he really isn't an artist of any realy ability. The paintings are all very well but sub-standard reproductions signed by him are really a crass way of making money form fans of his music, frankly they are the only people who buy them - oh and the insane of course.

Bowie prints, by brun on Jun 19, 2008 13:52:28 GMT 1, i think 3d and goldie if you check graffiti books were spraying bristol and wolverhampton way back before they were famous musicians ! the time when grafitti went hand in hand with hip hop , remember ?
bowie - he hasnt made a decent record since the 1980s .............too busy skiing in gstaad!!!
and remember most of the rock stars went to art school , thats where all the best bands formed ...........and a few crap ones

The same reason musicians become actors.. an overinflated opinion of their own abilities.

i bought that, the album was a massive return to form for bowie, & it was a great design, so a signed copy for ยฃ80 was to good to turn down,& i'd hardly called ยฃ80 for a hand signed litho ripping your fans off, when all said & done, the guy is a legend. he's been cracking away at painting for about 20 years, & has never been taken seriously by the art world, i think he does it more for himself than anyone else, as an investment,i'd look elsewhere.

do you not classify music as Art ?

Bowie prints, by They call me Stephen on Jun 19, 2008 14:26:07 GMT 1, Yes of course music is an art form and I completely agree with the 3d and Goldie references. They were both into graffiti before/whilst their music careers properly took off and this shows within the level of work they now produce. I think there's even a few dodgy you tube clips to back this up. Am I right in thinking thereโs one of Goldie on gmtv??
However, this does not apply to all musicians. Ronnie Wood for example is laughable and heโs considered to be one of the better musicians come artists. David Bowie is questionable and there are plenty more. I would tend to agree with prescription art in saying it is to feed their inflated egos and when it comes to these prints it is only going to be fans of their music who will pick them up.
Would we be talking about a David Bowie print had it not been done by himโฆI sincerely doubt it. How many people will buy a Bowie print, look him up and discover heโs also pretty good at singing??

Bowie prints, by robart on Jun 19, 2008 15:14:31 GMT 1, Just went on artnet checked some of the old prices his dehead ones went for ยฃ2000 each I hate those the most. I like the child on the stairs and portrait of J.O. The only reason I have mentioned bowie here is that I have someone who owes me some money and when I went round to his house the other day I noticed he had some bowie prints so I am trying to gather a rough value of these paintings to cover his debts as he wants to trade them with me.
