Recomendations for Art insurance firms??, by pressman on Dec 11, 2015 19:07:31 GMT 1, I just increased my home contents insurance (with Allianz) from ยฃ30k to ยฃ100k limit and its cost me ยฃ4.12 extra a year - i couldn't believe how cheap it was! Definitely seems the cheapest way to go although it does have its limitations. The ยฃ100k limit allows for a maximum total of ยฃ30k to be claimed for 'valuable items' or a maximum of ยฃ15k per item. I don't quite understand the maths of that. ยฃ100k, but you can only claim for ยฃ30k in valuable items!? Who has ยฃ70,000 worth of small bits and pieces!? Yeah, it doesn't seem quite right. The maximum figures sound great but its unlikely you will reach them due to the wording of the policy. It may be worth other people double checking their limits as the 'maximum' limit isnt what its cracked up to be.
In my policy, Valuable Items (items valued more than ยฃ1k) can make up 30% of the policy total. That was the same with the ยฃ30k policy i had - the maximum i could have claimed for Valuable Items would have been ยฃ9k. I was told they have a Home and Legacy product which has higher values but i didn't have the time to cancel and set up a new policy.
Either way, increasing my art insurance by ยฃ21k for ยฃ4.12 per year was a no brainer.

Art Basel โข Miami, Hong Kong, Paris, by pressman on Dec 11, 2015 11:27:11 GMT 1, Nice pics of some excellent stuff. I love that Haring doodle. I recommend checking out Lucy Sparrow if you want a smile on your face... sewyoursoul.co.uk/home/I agree the sharing is not too shody! I like Lucy's work too. Hane three cig packets by her. I saw the Malboro Lights packet which look good. Have you displayed them in any particular way or just put them on a shelf/jacket pocket or small kitchen drawer? I'm considering buying a porn mag and guessing it'd look good framed up - if i could avoid damaging the felt. It would be the first porn mag i havn't found in a bush.

What's your best art purchase this year?, by pressman on Dec 10, 2015 19:55:25 GMT 1, I've just received a couple of nice boxes which look pretty cool Lovely, dont open them, the anticipation is as good as the contents, I have a large wooden crate here just gagging to be opened. Haha, there's actually something very true about that. I looked in one but will have a proper root around later...

New Harland Miller print at Art&culture, by pressman on Dec 10, 2015 18:33:06 GMT 1, Nice one! It will be good to see it framed, although given the size I could understand if it takes a bit of time for you to get it done.

Tabby ๐ฆ๐น Street Art โข New Print Release , by pressman on Dec 10, 2015 16:56:29 GMT 1, How can any one call this?? it was a free gift. I've just got to work today and checked the mail but sadly no gift for me, but I'm not going to start calling it. Congratulations to all who received one and again it was a FREE gift. How many other artist sent you a free print just for being awesome? PS. if anyone received one and doesn't appreciate it, then I'll take it off your hands though it seems to be the ones who didn't receive one slating it
I get that it's free. That's nice and all. I still don't understand why anyone would want to hang a copy of someone else's idea on their wall. I just don't see the appeal. Since you asked, Pahnl sent me a lovely free print. Original idea included. I think we get it. You don't like it and you only hang things on your wall which are completely original. Other people do like it so now you've made your point perhaps just let it be...

What's your best art purchase this year?, by pressman on Dec 10, 2015 10:34:45 GMT 1, Had fabulous originals from Harrington, Opie, BAST and Micallef arrive this year but the piece that gives me most joy sits at the end of our kitchen table. Just makes me smile every time I look at it. Faile "Scuba Horse" bronze. Harveyn, that's awesome! I would genuinely love that.

tips wanted!, by pressman on Dec 9, 2015 23:44:10 GMT 1, I would agree with pretty much everything people have said above especially regarding hype and buying originals rather than prints if possible.
But being pretty new like yourself, I'd recommend holding back on buying much just now. Just enjoy the website for a couple of months, read and learn loads from the other members and then buy with confidence knowing that you're making the right decision. Ask loads of questions about artists and works as most people on here are only too happy to share their knowledge.

Tabby ๐ฆ๐น Street Art โข New Print Release , by pressman on Dec 9, 2015 15:09:43 GMT 1, The life partner bought a canvas from him recently and knowing that it was her birthday he wrapped up an additional print as a present. It was a lovely touch. Seeing that he does this with other fans gives me hope that my relationship isn't over.

Nick Smith ๐ฌ๐ง Pixelated Art โข Colour Swatches โข New Print, by pressman on Dec 9, 2015 11:36:25 GMT 1, Its a tough one to call as there seems to be almost nothing on the secondary market. The Marilyns seem to sell at about cost although he's done quite a few of them so its probably not a good comparison.
Its its of any help, from memory I think the original cost was ยฃ195 or ยฃ245. Given the lack of them around on the secondary market I would have thought you may be paying slightly above that to get one although its a bit of a guess.

WANTED: BANKSY STOP AND SEARCH , by pressman on Dec 7, 2015 23:07:45 GMT 1, Although it's an edition of 500, is it still the 'usual' 150 that are signed? Or we're fewer signed given it's not an edition of 750? All signed. Prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good, pretty good. Interesting, thanks. Any ideas why?

Turner Prize 2015, by pressman on Dec 7, 2015 23:05:14 GMT 1, I've just watched the Turner Prize on channel 4 and I was well disappointed. I like to think I have an open mind when it comes to art but I really didn't see how it was classified as art.
If I watch it next year, hopefully there'll be some artists involved!

FS: Kaws- Portfolio Set of 3 Prints Snoopy, by pressman on Dec 4, 2015 17:58:51 GMT 1, Perhaps he just wants someone to cover the cost ? It is Christmas - let's have some Christmas spirit ? Perhaps if that's the case he should be dropping 15-20k on a set of 3 prints. Seeing how his location is NYC i'm assuming he got them at the first Tier. His set is also on ebay at 22,500 OBO under the same name, saw it yesterday. I don't see this playing out the way he expects it. These recent releases leave NO room for large immediate returns for flippers, so it will be nice to see him fail on his face financially with this one. yeah, saw that too - on the american bay, rather than the UK bay.

Shipping Art โข UK, USA, Asia, Europe, by pressman on Dec 4, 2015 17:55:47 GMT 1, I looked at this earlier weirdly. Flight Logistics offer an art shipping service for fragile stuff - check out their website. I can't comment on if they are good or not although i should be able to confirm in a couple of weeks if what I receive arrives in one piece or 10 pieces.
