Damien Hirst โข Paper Veils, 300 Original Paintings, by bernard on Nov 16, 2022 15:18:45 GMT 1, I'm sure Heni have superb data security but when I got to the point where it asked what notable artworks I had, having already asked for my address and I thought... nah (and I don't have any). On a more subjective level I think these look pretty pony and will struggle to achieve prices above the asking - at least in the short to mid term - there are just too many hirst pieces floating around that are either prints or might as well be (I'd say these are like the currency in that respect - not different enough or crafted enough for me to care whether they were printed or painted by an intern).
Oh and I still have an empresses print in the box I can't stand to look at...

Damien Hirst H10 โข The Empresses, by bernard on Mar 19, 2022 18:01:36 GMT 1, Ha. I prefer the box I think. Going to give it another look later and make a call on it but I did not appreciate how much of the area was going to be glitter and how visually dominant it would be. Not sure where it could ever go where it would look ok tbh...

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by bernard on Oct 14, 2021 13:40:01 GMT 1, they essentially are prints Iโm really not sure if you are just trolling but Iโll bite just in case . Q. Has the image been printed? A. No Conclusion. Not a print If you struggle with that one NFTโs might be a little much for you at the moment It's really easy to have a discussion without feeling the need to be insulting. Your view differs to mine. My point is not a functional one (how they are made), my point is that they share the characteristics of an edition or large scale print run. So far, the relative lack of interest in these at the kind of prices they've been at for a while indicates that I might not be alone in my analysis. That said, there has been a flurry of purchases by a small group of wallets so I guess we'll see what happens next.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by bernard on Oct 14, 2021 11:42:52 GMT 1, they essentially are prints This thread really is full of people trying to out stupid each other. All I mean is that if you have 10,000 identical (to all intents and purposes) copies of the same image produced in a mechanised way with minimal input from the artist you essentially have a print or edition. I like the project I just don't believe that if this was a release of 10,000 very small, near identical 'originals' (if we consider them that for the purposes of this) they would fetch 30k each. And i don't agree that owning the memory of one of those is worth the same or more. Even allowing for the innovative nature of the project a combined total value of 300m (30k x 10k) seems unrealistic...

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by bernard on Sept 7, 2021 16:17:13 GMT 1, Putting the NFT aspect to this project to one side. If these were just released as physical pieces, what would you pay for one of these as an 'original', that is one of 10,000 that are near identical and are A4. I'm thinking 6-8k max?

More interestingly sales have slowed to a crawl and prices are starting to droop.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by bernard on Aug 27, 2021 8:19:26 GMT 1, There's nothing in that thread that justifies the value of NFT's - he just says they pose interesting questions about what art is, why art has any value and the meaning of ownership. These may or may not be interesting questions (I feel like artists like Duchamp, Warhol and to a much lesser extent and Hirst have already asked these questions) but they don't actually lend the memory of a piece of art a value, certainly not a value in excess of the actual piece of art. This is a fun little bubble.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by bernard on Jul 30, 2021 11:36:52 GMT 1, I'm pretty up on NFT's and crypto and I'm still finding this all a right faff. It's an interesting project and I'm chuffed I got one but despite my faith in crypto and generally low level of risk aversion I'm 100% going to get the painting. For me, it's a case of owning the memory of a painting that's been burnt or owning the painting - feels like a no-brainer... The NFT thing all feels a bit '3D TV' to me...

Hirst Cherry Blossom Edition Size, by bernard on Mar 3, 2021 19:38:14 GMT 1, You really don't need to frame them. I had an H4 for a bit and it looked bloody lovely sans frame... I also bought one of these with btc just because I could really. Felt like an interesting process to try.

Maggi Hambling's Mary Wollstonecraft Sculpture, by bernard on Nov 22, 2020 22:57:46 GMT 1, I like it too. For me, it's about representing all women and by showing the naked female figure you celebrate that wholeheartedly without sexualising the female form by covering the bits considered socially unacceptable to expose. In the hey day of statues (the greco-roman period) heroic men were almost always depicted naked so I see this as a nod to those depictions of power too. I also like the scale which (my interpretation) nods to the idea that women don't need to be big and showy to be powerful...
