Very very cool (and rare) Sweet Nuts. Always loved that image. Congrats on the pickup.

1xRun Collector's Cache, by Street Art Fan on May 2, 2017 0:28:15 GMT 1, This is akin to calling Walmart a boutique. In all fairness they do actually run a legit gallery--Library Street Collective in Detroit (http://www.lscgallery.com/) Have ordered 4 prints from 1XRun over the years. Great communication, sturdy packaging, prompt service - never had an issue. Would buy again without hesitation.
But as far as I know they are associated with Inner State Gallery, not with the Library Street Collective in Detroit.

Do you really appreciate the "art" of Banksy?, by Street Art Fan on Apr 2, 2017 16:04:50 GMT 1, Great point medichead . But with an opening statement like "his 'art' is not anything that adds to a space" (on a Banksy forum no less) I don't think he is really interested in meaningful dialogue.

Bast โข Visconti Print, by Street Art Fan on Mar 18, 2017 5:09:31 GMT 1, Now that the dust from yesterday has settled, I'm beginning to re-examine the print's merits on its own terms. And I guess you can say I'm a little...ambivalent? I think I would truly love the print had reflected his new artistic direction a bit more. Cartoon characters, a NY sports teams logo, an obscure title - seems a little 2010 to me.

Banksy in Palestine ๐ต๐ธ, by Street Art Fan on Mar 18, 2017 1:25:45 GMT 1, Mira Sucharov's reasons for the media's "obsession" with Israel (Why is the Media Obsessed with Israel?, Haaretz 11/19/14) applies to this discussion I think:
"[...] American taxpayers provide a significant annual sum of money to Israel, via the $3 billion in annual U.S. aid granted to Israel. Itโs natural that the government and the voters in that country at least would disproportionately concern themselves with the region.
Second, the Israel-Palestine core is the heartland of the three main monotheistic religions. The role of the religious imaginary in Western art, literature, film and culture in general is significant. The region, in short, has long captured the imagination of many.
Third, Israel โ unlike Syria โ is a democracy. Citizens of democracies tend to hold other democracies to democratic standards. And that means that violence committed in the name of democratic values โ for better or worse โ sometimes gets more airtime.
Fourth, as others have written before, Israel is seen by many as a colonial transplant. There are very good arguments against a simplistic understanding of Israel as being a colonial project. (There is no core state to which settlers send extracted resources, for example.) But there is no getting around the fact that Israelโs birth was precipitated in part by Europeโs carving up of the region into mandate territories after the First World War. The shred of the colonial shadow succeeds in galvanizing a certain political consciousness that other conflicts, especially civil ones within non-democracies, simply donโt, unfortunately perhaps.
Fifth, once Israel came into existence, it was seen by many as a plucky state surviving against all odds. Itโs a narrative that Israel and the engines of Diaspora Jewry have themselves succeeded in promoting. That the world continues its fascination with Arab-Israeli geopolitics, played out now partly through the Palestinians, is therefore not surprising.
Sixth, Jews tend to punch above their collective weight in many aspects of popular culture: entertainment, the arts, literature, and so on. That the Jewish State and its goings-on figure so prominently in the media can be seen as a benign extension of this. Add to this the fact that some of the players in the contemporary Israeli-Palestinian saga also hold American citizenship (three of the victims of the Har Nof synagogue attack held dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship, while the fourth was British-Israeli) and the effect is magnified.
Finally, as for Friedmanโs comparison between the disproportionate attention given to death and destruction in Israel compared to, say, in Portland, one could say that political violence naturally garners more international concern โ again, sadly for those who are ignoredโ than death caused by such typical urban ills as poverty, petty crime, drugs, or traffic accidents."

20 Female Street Artist you should know, by Street Art Fan on Mar 16, 2017 6:29:34 GMT 1, I Like a lot PAM Glew Wasted Rita Lucy Sparrow Lush Sux Nettie Wakefield The Banksy female from Bristol : Liz Bukfield ! flic.kr/p/dKxNNYBut Faith 47 is the top. Swoon too. Thread a bit sexist ? ( and some streetartists in the link make awful paints ) We are all equals ! For When a best of kids streetartists ? In old school and French friend feminist street-artist Kashink http://instagr.am/p/BJRHlKWAkch How is the thread sexist? Street art is male dominated. The thread is a simple reminder that women - who don't get the same exposure - make street art also. Sure, some in the original list are pretty awful. But then a lot of male street artists make bad art too.

Dolk Che Canvas , by Street Art Fan on Mar 16, 2017 0:35:05 GMT 1, Dope art piece but I hate Che so much I could never look at him on my wall. Just got back from Cuba and f**kthat guy. I'm not a Che fan either but this piece feels more like an ironic (triumphalist?) commentary about capitalism than an endorsement of his policies. Buy it and hang it on your wall as a reminder that he ultimately lost the war of ideas.ย

New RAE , by Street Art Fan on Mar 16, 2017 0:25:13 GMT 1, In my opinion, his high point was his show at Signal Gallery. I don't know if it's just a matter of spending less time developing his pieces (most of his output nowadays seems unfinished), but his recent work suggests that he's abandoned his urban expressionist style for something much more primal. His stuff used to be beautiful, playful; now it's messy and ill-conceived.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Street Art Fan on Mar 11, 2017 15:20:13 GMT 1, Its great seeing images of latest additions to collections. Whats just as interesting is the attraction of the piece to the individual. Art is so subjective and not everyone enjoys the same artist/ image etc but all collectors share the same passion/disease. With that in mind I post an image of a holly grail piece for me. I have loved Conor's art from the beginning but the piece of street art that stopped me in my tracks was the now famous image on Brick Lane. I remember being dragged around some shops, coming round the corner and seeing that wall. It was a holly f**kmoment. Whilst like others I thought the recent show at Pace was excellent and there is no doubting the ever increasing improvement in execution, for me the Weekend Warriors show and Headless Heroes show that followed have been the highlight of his work. The mix of graff and fine art, spray paint and oil, chaos and order are brilliantly represented. I was thus delighted to be able to pick up one of the choice pieces from Weekend Warriors recently. The 1950's Seeburg has to make way for this beauty as its slots in next to my other favourite. A drop the mic post if there ever was one. That William Carlos Williams poem with the lines
and I attendant upon you, shaken by your beauty
Shaken by your beauty Shaken.
comes to mind.
Congrats.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Street Art Fan on Mar 4, 2017 1:02:27 GMT 1, picture hostingNot really urban art, but 5 months after buying it made it's way to the wall today and I am very happy. That's why I want to share This piece reminds me of Abner Zook, a Lancaster County folk artist who made lovely 3D wood relief carvings celebrating Amish life. Definitely not urban art, but I love the craftsmanship and attention to detail just the same.
Congrats on the pickup.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Street Art Fan on Feb 28, 2017 6:46:17 GMT 1, A gallery in Philadelphia. About 8k for a printers proof: Which gallery? I live in Philly so I'm always on the lookout for anything local. I'm curious too! I live in suburban Philly. Is it I. Brewster? They're the only local gallery I'm aware of that sells street art, although not exclusively (they deal mainly in Pop Art).

Bast NY @ Allouche Gallery NY 9th February 2017, by Street Art Fan on Feb 19, 2017 19:10:48 GMT 1, I heard that the works on paper were all sold out. Are the other works on canvas, mixed media, etc. fully depleted as well? I am waiting on a response from the gallery, but wanted to see if anyone out here knew? Thanks in advance for any information! That's good to hear. Response to his new show seems a little muted on the forum; I was afraid that he may have alienated people with his new visual style. But news that many have sold out suggests that the risk he took is paying off.
