Visit MIAMI ๐บ๐ฒ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by sin on Feb 20, 2017 18:25:36 GMT 1, Stopped in yesterday. Solid fair, and I'm pretty miffed about fairs in general at the moment.
I specifically was excited by the new How & Nosm work, particularly the works on paper that were in the back room.
If I wasnt an hour away I would have gone back today.

Visit MIAMI ๐บ๐ฒ Street Art, Galleries, Events, by sin on Feb 12, 2017 7:19:24 GMT 1, If you are already in town for the boat show then its absolutely worth a stop.
ALSO, If you go out to the Marine Stadium venue for the Boat Show, you will likely really enjoy the view of the stadium from the boat docks.
Lastly, there is a show up in Little River called Street Art for Mankind.
Its worth a visit. Great Hyuro and Icy & Sot pieces there. Nothing to buy, just stuff to see.

HowNosm show at Jacob Lewis NYC, by sin on Feb 10, 2017 23:45:42 GMT 1, How & Nosm, such great work. The canvas I was able to snag is still one of my favorite pieces. One of the few urban artists that have worked with PACE. The last New York show and the Detroit show felt like a laterial move. Really liked the monoprints even though I never picked one up.

Pokras Lampas, by sin on Feb 5, 2017 18:08:14 GMT 1, Feels really derivative. Im not suggesting that using calligraphy is something that is unique and shouldnt be explored, but some of the elements here are clearly close to the line when it comes to Retna. ย Structurally exploring some of the same mandala type patterns Cryptic is most recognized for. The use of calligraphy itself isnt a sin, there are 2 or 3 artists using arabic calligraphy that I can think of off the top of my head and they are rather easy to tell apart. ย Some of these I have serious trouble telling apart from other known artists, because the composition or script elements are copied from others.ย People have been making calligraphic art for centuries from Chinese brush painting to illuminated manuscripts etc. The freehand lettering graffiti has been around for ages and tagging too. Todays market is urban art and painting stuff on walls. This style is popular today due to the Arab market for urban art is my feeling. ย It's a form of the sprayed freehand lettering graffiti and an upmarket version of tagging. It works as art and text painting just that it's in a different language from English. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsang_Tsou_Choi
It would make sense that an artist whose work is highly derivative would be unable to fully understand how this work is derivative.
As mentioned in my post the idea of calligraphy isn't unique and I presume we all know the ancient sources for this type of art.
The derivative nature of this work is the utilization of forms that are clearly part of the unique reconstruction of retna. Shapes and letter form that were originally pieced together by someone, then to be reused by someone else.
Now let's not kid ourselves, it's hard (if not impossible) to find any work that doesn't lend some debt of influence to another artist.
The question always is, when the derivative item is removed, what is left. In the case of some of these pieces, there is little left. There are some pieces here that don't look like they could be easily confused with cryptic or Retna
So there is a reasonable reason to watch further development. However there is equal reason to have concern that it's just a lower price point retna. We see this with banksylike work to non end.
You have to ask yourself when you take this movement seriously which artist will matter 40 years form now. Which artist will be plucked out of the movement and presented institutionally, academically reviewed. I think it goes without saying that retna will be on that list and it's yet to be seen if the others will rise to that level.

Retna โข Say My Name, So You Can See Me , by sin on Feb 4, 2017 2:53:36 GMT 1, Rather than dignify this with a reply, let me leave with a note to say that I'm glad I was able to enjoy this board when it was full of informed and passionate collectors who were descent people.
I've often said that I still love the art but the culture has gotten insufferable. It would seem that this has seeped into this board.
You can add me to the list of people that won't be back.

Retna โข Say My Name, So You Can See Me , by sin on Feb 4, 2017 1:23:34 GMT 1, You are applying my statement about 10 pieces out of my collection of 300 or so pieces to my entire approach towards art.
I've not been around for a while but I presume someone around here remembers me, and knows that I collect with a passion that has nothing to to about money. 10 pieces that I picked up becuase as someone who knows art I can spot a good investment and would be stupid to not leverage that knowledge.

Retna โข Say My Name, So You Can See Me , by sin on Feb 3, 2017 23:55:40 GMT 1, It's fine to have a discussion about the topic. I discussed it in detail. Insulting people is sort of shitty. Like most things there is nuance. Im sure many of us (or our parents) own a Michael Jackson record (or two) and it's not like we are all ok with him being a kid diddler. I don't like Retna, or his bravado, but I think you (purists) would be rather stunned by how prevasive behavior is like that in this community. Parts of this world arent trust fund kids that got art degrees, part of this world are guys who grew up around violence, and lots of it, and it comes with all the trappings of that reality. Pollack was a wife beating, alcoholic, anti-Semite... and if you brought me a painting by him that I could afford... id buy thats**t faster than you could say Sig Heil.
Enjoy your life guys, you must be a blast at parties.
Back to making paper and creating the life I imagined...

Retna โข Say My Name, So You Can See Me , by sin on Feb 3, 2017 23:32:43 GMT 1, from an investment perspective. an artist that has money behind him with a wide collector base that also has money behind him is a good financial bet, if one is making a financial bet. the fact that he has shown and sold out in all the big spots, and has institutional representation, means its likely to hold on. so if you are wondering if spending $10K today was a good bet, it was, was it as good as the Braddock Print (which i got 3 of and gave 2 away) or the Provocaters print? No. Will it likely be worth much more than I spent on it in 5,10,20? yes. from an art perspective (removing the behavior, just dealing with the art) from a historical perspective, visual language perspective, translation from street to gallery, Retna is important, will be part of academic study, he pulls the graffiti discussion into the gallery and his caligraphies connection to culture expands that discussion into historic forms of muralism. some of retna's works are hard to argue with as being powerful in their visual impact. i personally enjoy earlier work, the writing over photographs, etc, but in general i always find the caligraphy visually interesting and desiphering it is also enjoyable. from his behavior, bravado and that impact on his art the artist clearly takes away from the work. its the unfortunate outcome of someone coming from a world where this type of behavior and approach to conflict is a reality, then you amplify that with money and fame. he will either 1, grow up at some point, become mature and have a long career where he beds 20 years olds well into his 80's.... or he will perish due to his lifestyle an be a tragic tale. I applaud your honesty if not your ethics that are seemingly easily trumped by the mighty dollar well that was a right handed insult. hows that working for you? being a dick?

Retna โข Say My Name, So You Can See Me , by sin on Feb 3, 2017 19:18:02 GMT 1, Yeah, Jesus this went sideways.
To answer the prior question as it relates to this specific piece (and to do a little expansion into issues like artists behavior impacting the willingness to collect work).
I personally buy Retna as an investment. There are a small handful of artists who I have that as part of my calculus. Usually because the cost is so high that it warrants some financial consideration. When you have a purchase you can make that is likely to hold value or rise, its cash into cash for me, and a non dollar based asset. Of my entire collection of hundreds of works, I have maybe 10 pieces that fall into this category.
Os Gemeos Retna Invader Shepard Fairey (i am somewhat priced out of the Banksy market, in that work I actually want are above my reach... for now)
So, I bought these, I will frame them and hang them in my corporate office. (i have a few pieces I keep here because they give the place a classy look). Maybe when my daughter gets married (10 years hopefully) they will be movable and offset some of that cost.
Are these my favorite Retna pieces, no. Do i hate glitter, yes. Are they hangable Retna pieces, yes.
Now, down to Retna, or artists and their behavior in general as a concern when buying work.
1. when buying for investment. i care less. im certain other of my investment dollars go to horrible people that do stupid shit.
2. if piccasso had IG im sure we would all have vile opinions about him.
3. I think Retna's abuse of women is disgusting, his general bravado is embarrassing, he will just as likely end up broken and living on skid row as he will retiring in the south of france.
4. there are artists in my collection whose personal behavior, or politics (to touch on the other point in this thread) that I dont agree with. in certain cases that does impact my desire to collect their work, and in other cases it doesnt.

Retna โข Say My Name, So You Can See Me , by sin on Feb 3, 2017 2:41:21 GMT 1, I guess I got one... Paypal never completed as it does normally but i have an email and a transaction (that is delayed) in my Paypal account.... so... we'll see. By the way, been away for a bit, nice to see you lot again. I'm writing a thesis on urban art today. ย Are you buying for the art and to admire it on your wall, or as an investment as other people are buying it?
Hey, do you mean why do I buy in general or why did I buy this?

Art Basel โข Miami, Hong Kong, Paris, by sin on Dec 5, 2016 19:18:21 GMT 1, Got in late this year as I was traveling with my family, so only was able to get in for Thursday - Sunday. Didnt hit every fair this year largely due to that.
Scope | Untitled | Pulse | Aqua also a few studio visits, a pop up or 2 and the Juxtapoz thing.
Thursday Studio visit with Reinier Gamboa, David Olivera, Juan Traviseo, and Adrian Avila
Rei is working on a new body of work so I didnt grab pics. Juan is working on something that will be HUGE in 2017, but also didnt get shots out of it because he cant release info. David has a big show coming up at Bernarducci Meisel Gallery. Great photo realistic painter who focuses on boats, water, and sky in his pieces. Working on a mural with Juan in Wynwood right now.

Adrian is working on a body of work in conjunction with a book release by his benefactor. The leap in quality of these pieces vs his prior work is astounding. My running joke is I want to know how he's finding the babies to sacrifice because the work has had a techtonic shift that is massive.
Saturday Scope For the last 4 or 5 years Scope has been my show, what I collect, in my price point, guaranteed to present some great works and new exciting artists. Much like the Dolphins this weekend, Scope broke their win streak. This years fair was a yard sale, horribly curated, and by far my low light of the weekend. There were clear highlights, but the step down from that to the rest of the show was a chasm and I was utterly dissapointed.

Untitled Every year I love this fair a little more. It always challenges me. The work is outside my comfort zone and I always find something that really inspires me to dig deeper. This year, at the same booth as my favorite from last year, a beautiful piece made of fly vomit... yep. Untitled by Craig ONeil, on Flickr
My favorite find of the weekend (more from them later) Lavar Monroe Untitled by Craig ONeil, on Flickr
more later

Buying art from a gallery... can I negotiate with them? , by sin on Dec 1, 2016 14:33:29 GMT 1, If I'm picking up something in a preview and it's high demand, even multiple pieces, I don't ask.
Otherwise if early in a show I ask for 10% Later in show 20% After the show comes down 30%
8 years later, unless the artists cache has risen I'd go in at 40% If the artists cache has risen then that rule is off.
Buying multiples I ask for 20% If I'm buying a large piece I ask for 20%. (The market for larger pieces is limited)
After 8 years, is check with the artist direct unless I'm concerned about a long term relationship with the gallery. Even though they told you they were in inventory, I wouldn't assume that this is true.
