New RAE Print From Brooklynite, by Street Art Fan on Aug 6, 2013 22:23:50 GMT 1, Mine arrived about a week ago. Upset to see that they rolled it pretty tightly and shipped it in a narrow tube. Sigh. Sometimes you just can't win.

Rae vs Bast! Fiiiiiight!!, by Street Art Fan on Aug 6, 2013 14:17:54 GMT 1, I was told that BAST felt that Rae started to bite his style... and I guess there are similarities in their style/methods. I don't really know what Rae's work was like prior to him opening the Brooklynite gallery and BAST's show there? Rae has always seemed like a cool guy, but it could appear that Rae has taken a leaf outta BAST's book? Perhaps another reason why you don't see too many BAST shows... he doesn't trust too many people/galleries now! Hmmmm Interesting points. I always thought Rae's art started after he began brooklynite? Or atleast started seeing it on the forms such as this one. Whichever's the case, I'm not sure. I definitely see similarities in the two's styles especially with the found parts sculptures made from found objects around brooklyn. So if Rae's been influenced by Bast (who did a quite awesome show at brooklynite in 08), and Rae's also represented Dain (who's stuff looks like Bast), could Bast feel as though his work is getting MBW'd by style borrowers that want a piece of his market? I mean I always believe that great art is stolen art but Bast has a style no one can fully copy (not A.CE, Dain, etc) so I don't see why he's not on board or at least accepting of Rae's recent recognition in the street art community. Just draws more attention to their collective work? Oh and I hope maybe Bast will release some prints again through his website as a result of this incident. Maybe it'll light some awesome fire under his collage building genius. Excellent questions, great post. Thanks bsimkin :-)

Rae vs Bast! Fiiiiiight!!, by Street Art Fan on Aug 6, 2013 14:11:26 GMT 1, Although it's dismaying to see this kind of thing happen, I suppose the truth is that this kind of behavior between artists is pretty common - not just in urban art but in other genres as well.
In The Lost Battle: Leonardo, Michaelangelo and the Artistic Duel That Defined the Renaissance, Jonathan Jones describes the rivalry that transpired when Leonardo and Michaelangelo were commissioned to paint dueling frescos in the same building.
In an interview on Amazon, he has this to say:
"Competition was set in the genes, so to speak, of western art by the great rivals of the Renaissance. At the birth of modernism a century ago, Picasso and Matisse constantly checked what the other was doing and tried to outdo it. Their relationship was quite similar to that of Leonardo and Michelangelo—Picasso and his friends threw darts at a painting by Matisse of his daughter that Matisse had given Picasso as a gift.
Artistic competition is very much alive today. To speak from my own patch, British art revolves around the Turner Prize that pitches artists like Damien Hirst and Anish Kapoor against one another. This controversial prize may not have spawned any new Leonardos but it has given British art a lot of ambition. I was a judge of the Turner Prize while I worked on The Lost Battles. I found it fascinating to compare the competitive spirit in different times and places."

Rae vs Bast! Fiiiiiight!!, by Street Art Fan on Aug 6, 2013 5:12:15 GMT 1, Wow, anyone else seen Rae's Instagram post? I had no idea these two had "beef". Looks like we Americans have our own Banksy/Robbo on our hands. I'd link Rae's Instagram but not sure how (and I'm lazy). Here's the link to Rae's Instagram feed...
And here's what he (or someone with access to his account) posted a few hours ago below a picture of a one of his street sculptures that appears to have been torn down...
"What do you do when a former childhood friend becomes so overwhelmed with jealousy that he makes it his life's work to go around painting over and pulling down your work from the streets for over 3 years? You finally call his chicken ass out. BAST is the kind of guy who will key your car rather than step to your face. He walks around NYC with a paint roller on a long pole going over work he's too chicken s**t to climb and get to. And not just mine. No less he doesn't leave his name so he can continue to hide behind his fake persona --But I know the REAL truth. Words to live by--- "Always remember others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself." - Nixon #streetart #graffiti #bast #b**ch"
A sad turn of events as I count both among my favorite artists.

WWW.COAGALLERY.COM featuring Sandra Chevrier, by Street Art Fan on Aug 3, 2013 18:06:07 GMT 1, Hi guys, just a quick word to say that Mathieu Mondoux cut his prices almost in 2.The 16" x 20" are now priced 750$ instead of 1400$ Also a brand new work by Sandra Chevrier When it's too late.Black and white version. Note that there's no collage involved.It's all watercolor, pen and pencil:) Jean-Pascal, my nephew loves the "Where People Are Crying" print I bought him for his birthday. To be honest, it's a great feeling to introduce someone - especially a relative - to the the work of an artist you really admire. Beautiful art is the best gift. Merci pour votre aide, mon ami.

The same frame color for all your art, by Street Art Fan on Jul 29, 2013 8:06:16 GMT 1, Many thanks for the advice.
I'm leaning toward the clean, simple, and unified look of an all-white framed collection, but I wonder if it would be tricky integrating the occasional brown, black or all-natural wood frame down the road (if a new print addition requires that color choice). I'm planning to take a few prints to the framers, and want to have an idea what to shoot for when I speak with them.

The same frame color for all your art, by Street Art Fan on Jul 29, 2013 7:02:14 GMT 1, Greetings all.
Novice collector here. Just wondering if it makes sense to use the same color frame (white) for all my prints. I've seen pics posted on the recent acquisition page by a forum member (don't remember who) who used beautiful white frames for his/her entire collection. It looked quite lovely - very sleek and contemporary.
I'm inclined to follow his/her lead, but then I think about unusually colored prints that I own (e.g. Bast's Dalston Unitooth) that wouldn't benefit from a white frame (I'm not really sure how to frame that one, to be honest).
I guess what I'm asking is this - do forum members strive to maintain unity and consistency with their collection by utilizing the same frame color choice for all of their prints, or does each individual print drive your framing decision?

RAE - "First Aid" sculptures, by Street Art Fan on Jul 23, 2013 20:20:11 GMT 1, I like these. Very playful and mischievous, like much of his work.
Why doesn't Rae have his own sub-board? Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be anything dedicated to him in the North-American artist category.

Best posts thread..., by Street Art Fan on Jul 23, 2013 3:13:21 GMT 1, Speaking of tattooed body parts...I remember reading Nicolas Fox Weber's Balthus: A Biography years ago. During a conversation with the author, Claus Von Bulow (of Reversal of Fortune fame) talks about the time he attended a party with Pablo Picasso in attendance. As things were winding down, Picasso lifted up a partygoer's shirt and dew an elaborate picture on his belly. Everyone laughed, joking that dude would never bathe again until he figured out a way to sell the picture that Picasso had drawn.
