Banksy • frAGILE • Legacy of War Foundation , by Schrödinger's Chat on Dec 20, 2022 9:22:33 GMT 1, That narrowness is most unfortunate. Because it completely misses the point. For me, much of the beauty of Ban ksy's work lies with the element of illusion. His skills of misdirection are part of a broader show for his audience. And they are integral to his performance as an artist. met Having been a member here for just over a year, this is by far the most interesting post I have read. As a self-confessed dilettante, and newcomer to the world of art, I haven’t yet taken the time to develop my critical eye and have been very focused on my aesthetic preferences. If you have the time/inclination, I’d be fascinated to hear more of your thoughts on the element quoted above. Thanks for taking the time to create that post. If you have some time on your hands, do yourself a solid and look back at Met's previous posts, lots of interesting information and critical analysis. Lots to learn and often very entertaining posts.

Futura Characterization Poster, by Schrödinger's Chat on Dec 18, 2022 19:53:54 GMT 1, I got one, i think on balance it's a good price for a decent signed Futura image, shame about the opaque marketing and numbers. We are left having to trust there are 150 but really who knows for sure.
For me i have always wanted a Futura pointman image since discovering his work through Mo Wax in the 90s. On that basis I'll be happy to have it one my wall.

Invader x Rubiks Cube , by Schrödinger's Chat on Nov 19, 2022 18:16:07 GMT 1, Those mentioning the quality of the cube, they are the same as official Rubiks cubes, which incidentally are pretty awful if you are actually planning to solve at speed. Speed cubes are way better, turn really easily and are constructed differently, and are much enjoyable to solve.

RYCA 🇬🇧 Ryan Callanan • Star Wars • Smiley • New Release , by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 29, 2022 10:47:09 GMT 1, They were a good price for such big canvases, £1.7k to £2k, fun frames in the style of old Sega game cases. My favourite was the Super Sharp Shooter being an old school jungle fan that appealed the most.

David Shrigley • Ignore the Ghosts, by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 28, 2022 11:54:07 GMT 1, Just out of interest, does David Shrigley usually only sign his prints en verso / the back?
I saw a couple of his prints in Enter Gallery for £5k+ with no visual signature, so assumed they are on the back.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 25, 2022 18:39:28 GMT 1, I traded mine, cost me the transfer fees to Palm (can't remember what that was0 plus around $725 for VAT and shipping Ah, thank you, i had a vague memory of £700 still to pay.
Mine is already on palm, so one less fee i suppose.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 25, 2022 16:52:18 GMT 1, Hello, has anyone in the UK traded the nft in for the physical recently? What were the total additional costs? Saw them in person at the Newport Gallery and thought they looked really good, so thinking of getting my Suiko.

Shrigley , by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 25, 2022 10:54:19 GMT 1, Nice interview - in other Shrigley news Shrigley is soon to release a brew called Toad Licker, you can buy it here
www.handbrewco.shop/collections/david-shrigley-x-hand-brew-co
Limited edition pint glass available for a. Fiver. And a limited edition A2 poster of the toad licker image for £20.
From what i gather it is inspired bu the traditional Sussex pub game of Toad in the Hole - which involves throwing a weighted 'coin' (the toad) on to a table to earn points. Come to Brighton and you will find it in lots of pubs.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 16, 2022 9:46:03 GMT 1, Everyone got one of the fancy tote bags with some currency keyrings, iphone case, notepad etc. So really the bag was the main thing.
You also got one of these collectable digital attendance tokens, which i don't really understand the point of.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 16, 2022 9:17:08 GMT 1, Well I had fun, i met one or two from this forum, but mainly i met people who couldn't believe that i didnt hold (hodl) the nft. Still, a night of free drinks and meeting lots of new folk, some of which were a bit more of the 'grow the pie' philosophy than me, but hey it takes all sorts. I was surprised by the number of people I spoke to who were not entering the ‘unique print’ lottery even though they had NFTs (giving them a better chance). Heni had placed the ‘unique prints’ high up on the wall so you could not view the detail and looked bland compared to the glossy Great Expectations/Virtues/Empresses. They should have framed a couple of them as they would look amazing behind glass. I agree they weren't really bringing out the best in the unique prints, the great expectations look great and the Empresses looked a lot better than i was expecting, there was quite a bit of negativity around them at the time, glitter issues etc.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Schrödinger's Chat on Oct 12, 2022 10:27:28 GMT 1, was anyone able to grab the ash from the fire? seems like it could make a pretty nice sculpture in its self. yes i understand its a stretch . but the way this is going, why not. I doubt it would get much interest but as you suggest stranger things have happened. I'm pretty sure when K Foundation (aka KLF) tried to sell the suitcase full of burnt ashes of the £1 million they burnt, it didn't seem to gain much attention as a piece of art, originally the million was nailed to a board and called 'nailed to a wall' and failed to sell for £500k, they reprinted the whole million (at a cost of £500) and then burnt the fresh money.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Schrödinger's Chat on Jul 28, 2022 10:11:14 GMT 1, A platform for selling the physical sounds good, however i imagine it's another way for Hirst to get a cut, just as he does on every NFT sale (in that sense the project is win, win, win for Hirst as long as they keep selling).
If your as rich as Croesus as he is and when you get a percentage of every sale its not really much of a gamble to keep the NFTs. He can just rattle of another edition and make his cheddar that way. Maybe i'm being a bit cynical.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Schrödinger's Chat on Jul 20, 2022 18:08:46 GMT 1, Also if only say 3000 are claimed as originals, that is a relatively small number, compared to the nfts, this may bode well for future value, but for now i can enjoy them, in a way that i couldn't on my laptop.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Schrödinger's Chat on Jul 20, 2022 18:05:02 GMT 1, I bottled it in the end, lost faith in nfts (still own a few low cost ones) and decided to stick to what i know, as a result i will soon have 3 x currency on my wall, could be a lot worse. Two arrived today and they are very nice in the flesh.
I always had this nagging fear that if i fell off this mortal coil no-one would be able to access my crypto/nfts accounts / wallets or work out how to sell them, and it would all be lost and forgotten. This sadly happened with a friend a few years back. At least this way they can just take it to a gallery or stick it in an auction some day.
Oh well, decision made, for better or for worse.
