Damien Hirst • Where the Land Meets the Sea, by kfroms on Aug 14, 2023 13:39:07 GMT 1, On thé long term, dibonds might prove to be robust. My 30/40/50 years etchings are almost all a little bit insolated. Even those well protected. Some insects are also very fond of paper… Could be. That said I rather accept my prints fading a bit after tens of years than having to live with these ghastly shining things on my wall from day 1.

Damien Hirst • Where the Land Meets the Sea, by kfroms on Aug 4, 2023 13:52:22 GMT 1, On one hand, that **** is utter crap. On the other hand, the more ppl buy it, the less money they have for good art, so the more likely I can secure something decent from another artist. It's a win-win. In conclusion, wow, much good art, strong painting, excellent skillz, everyone buy this! That is quite the theory here. good luck!

Damien Hirst • Where the Land Meets the Sea, by kfroms on Aug 4, 2023 9:51:25 GMT 1, Not sure about the new dibond editions - I wish they’d just print on paper Same here - I hate those dibond mirrors with a passion. If they would have released the current bunch on paper or canvas, I would be in. That said, I am to receive a spin painting so no actual need for any more DH

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Jun 23, 2023 11:41:23 GMT 1, Thank you mcgill14 for recommending Bob Mortimer! Pretty perfect book for an easy read by the pool.
Just finished Man and Boy by Tony Parsons. Found it much better than the first time I read it around 20 years ago. Much more relatable now that I have kids and an ex-wife! :-)

Gerhard Richter 🇩🇪 Abstract • Contemporary Art • New Relea, by kfroms on Jun 2, 2023 16:08:48 GMT 1, On the Daco site it says Himilaja is edition of 500 Yes. Does now. Not sure it did when I bought it... or whether it did earlier this week even. Bought the Himalaya directly from Daco in 2021 and it already then stated that it is an edition of 500. They are very nice prints on very decent, thick paper.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Jun 2, 2023 9:47:36 GMT 1, Hello everybody I am off to an extended summer holiday later in June and would need some reading material recommendations Can be anything really.... Already bought: Faith, Hope and Carnage (Nick Cave ) Man and Boy ( Tony Parsons ) Die Ueberlebenden ( Alex Schulman ) and I will also start the 27th ( and final ) attempt to read Henry Miller's 'Tropic of Cancer' Curious to hear your suggestions. And while at it: I really appreciate this thread! Ha ha love that you keep going back to Tropic of Cancer - I have a similar problem with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance- people keep telling me it’s great but… Its really strange but I can’t make it to more than page 15 or so…. Anyway, last attempt this summer before I give in and try reading Ulysses by James Joyce! 😂

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Jun 2, 2023 9:44:48 GMT 1, Extended holiday Kfroms, cant be bad.... Good shout from kjg, may I add a couple of musician based books I personally have enjoyed - - The Bobbie Gillespie 'Tenement Kid' a cracker - Flea (bass player from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers) 'Acid For The Children' Also wading in with Bob Mortimer's 'And Away' a great read. Have a great trip. I read and enjoyed Tenement Kid! Really good. Will look into the Flea book but just got reminded that I still have the Graham Coxon and Jarvis Cocker unread on the bookshelf. Those are signed though so not good for holiday / beach treatment! :-)
