Oh well, the Talk Art podcast still worth a listen Agreed! It seemed the whole podcast was based around Steph, who actually didn''t reveal that much exciting and revealing information - i could have told more stories...... post 2006 that is! Would have been good to know more about the Steve Laz fall out etc

New Martin Whatson release Scuba Diver, by Gunny on Jul 12, 2023 9:37:14 GMT 1, In this current climate, a lot of artists have been found out. The price of this release is too high and there is too many variations. I don't care what anyone says, most people buy art in the hope the value does not go down, therefore people are looking at this and thinking it is poor value for a new release. Flippers cannot flip this for a worthwhile profit, so it will be sold to a few die hard MW fans who want a bit of all he has. The wider market at this price point is not there, hence the extension to register. I think inflated print prices are at an end and publishers need to rethink strategy or the artists will go from stagnate to decline.

Orange Order Rat - Fake or Real Banksy?, by Gunny on Jun 26, 2023 22:59:52 GMT 1, It shows courage of conviction to express your thoughts early on. Up until only recently the poll showed that the majority involved (in the poll at least) thought the rat was genuine. Yet only one person was brave enough to stake their position. As an incentive to free speech I believe the bet should be annulled. Agreed

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by Gunny on Jun 19, 2023 21:13:43 GMT 1, Banksy finally returned to Scotland. Made it to the show yesterday at the 9.45pm slot meaning I was one of the last to leave. Really enjoyed it and there was so much more to take in when consideration is given to the art showcased via the press. The insights into his working practices was great and opened my eyes to the level of preparation that goes into it all. Peeking behind the stencils to see the silhouette image is a top tip from me. Also take time to really look at each installation as there is a lot that you can miss. Stewards were all very friendly and I am chuffed with my posed 'GCHQ' polaroid that I requested be taken of me, particularly given that I was allowed to get naked for it (this may or may not be a lie). Lovely to be able to walk around it all un-rushed and without feeling hemmed in by crowds. Had a shot inside the BOTI meat van and thought it was great to be able to manipulate the puppets. Also impressed that Mr B opted for TAMA Iron Cobra bass pedals for the operating mechanisms (drummers, you knows what I am talking about). Anyone heading along, you are in for a treat. It isn't every day that you get to see the inner workings of the Banksy machine. It still has an element of the raw works he was known for back in the day but provides insight into his evolution in technique and style. Loads will walk out saying, 'I could have done that', but the reality is that they didn't. Banksy is clearly a very intelligent individual and I still appreciate the humour that he puts into the methods of creating his works. It often feels like the finished image is only a very small part of the whole experience. Remember, you have the same amount of hours in day as Beyonce, so don't waste them. Finally, as an old hand on this forum I did buy two of everything in the gift shop. My eBay foray today has meant that the whole experience was free, I still own one of everything and made a little bit more to put toward a credit card bill. All part of the thrill of following Banksy. Is the shop open that late at night to buy stuff? What about weekends when at 3am can you buy then also?

Banksy โข Cut & Run Posters, by Gunny on Jun 18, 2023 22:42:15 GMT 1, Just wondering - can you only buy one pair of posters when visiting the exhibition? They can only be bought in pairs and you can buy a maximum of 2 pairs. They come wrapped in plastic like this so it wonโt take long for glossy paper to be wrinkled if not flat. Great, cheers! Wondering if there was a Grappling Hook in the Exhibition?

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Gunny on May 24, 2023 12:32:29 GMT 1, Sounds like if you frame it under museum glass (99% UV protection) you will probably never see the effect. Never mind - print stands up without it! I checked with our team and they explained there are different types of UV radiation. The glass will only block the frequencies of UV that would damage and yellow the paper. Where as the glow in the dark charges under the high/less damaging frequencies so the UV glass should not affect it. When are the Ai Weiwei reds being shipped and also the Javier Calleja's?

BรST 'Dope Drop' For Sale, by Gunny on May 23, 2023 13:32:25 GMT 1, FS is this HPM from 2011. It is very large at 42" x 35" (107 cms x 89 cms) and entirely hand painted/stencilled with zero screen printed elements. Red, black and yellow spraypaint on a very shiny silver background and on very thick paper. Embossed 'BรST' bottom left and right corners. Signed, titled, and dated on their reverse. From an edition of only four.

UK based but can ship worldwide at buyers expense/risk. I consider this to be a high quality example of his work so serious offers only please. Thanks for looking. This is lovely!

Damaged print , by Gunny on May 18, 2023 22:16:21 GMT 1, Looking for advice. I'm not a gallery, just a normal person running out of wall space. I decided to sell a larger print at auction to make room. This is my first time doing anything like this. The auction did well and the auctioneer coordinated the shipping. It was large and already framed so it was shipped in its frame. In the shipping process at some point apparently the piece slipped it's hinges in the frame and damaged the edges of the print. The buyer rejected the print (as you should) and now the auctioneer has come back to me asking for most of the money back, minus a "restock fee". The money was wired to my account after the shipper signed off. Am I really liable for this given that their shipper signed off on it? I totally get that nobody is winning here but doesn't insurance cover this stuff? Is this how it works? Hit me with the hard truth, I'm ready for it. absolutely nothing to do with you. The piece was in the possession of the auction house and they should have insurance for this - do not give them the money back.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Gunny on Apr 6, 2023 16:56:40 GMT 1, Any excuse to show off my spin painting! I've always loved the tondo/circle spins but have to say I equally love the square format! I'll be going to Heni tomorrow to check the spins.. unlikely that I'll end up purchasing one of these prints as I'm extremely lucky to already own an original. If i didn't I'd be very tempted because I see Hirst spins as iconic as spots. Lovely colours!
