Looking For HM Book, by medichead on Apr 18, 2017 20:50:45 GMT 1, Yeah thought I'd give it a go. I know you can order from Amazon France for delivery to the UK, that shouldn't be a problem. It's whether they actually have any copies is the punt.
Exactly - I had one on order from WHSmiths for about 3 months before they threw in the towel! ๐

Looking For HM Book, by medichead on Apr 18, 2017 19:45:14 GMT 1, I've just been on Amazon France for and ordered a copy for delivery to the uk. ยฃ42 including deliver, cheaper than elsewhere. Not 100% about if I'll get it or not though. Worth a punt.
Nice idea - I've just put an order in just in case, but not too optimistic!

POSE Tidy @ cost , by medichead on Apr 14, 2017 0:52:11 GMT 1, Potentially being rather cynical here, but from what it seems, the print may not have sold out. We had the pre sale code on the forum for a week and only 50 or so sold. It certainly didn't fly off the shelf when finally released, despite all the hype(beast). So, selling it at cost plus shipping is maybe a great deal for the OP. Plans changed very quickly Re the print and for some reason this one isn't making the file. Really don't see why everyone is patting him/her on the back.
I see your point, but we have examples of other prints taking 2 or more years to sell out, and then the next week the seller wants 200% of his original 'investment' (e.g. Harland Miller thread currently). So while this may not have sold out quickly, there are still likely to be people who want the print but missed it, and OP isn't ripping them off for having missed the drop.

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by medichead on Apr 14, 2017 0:17:05 GMT 1, Decent price for the laugh now. Gallery price is around 11 An unsigned LN just sold at auction for $11K + 25% buyer premium which is the same as ยฃ11K
Interesting logic here - I'm not criticising, just rambling - so bear with me!
By definition, the seller doesn't receive the buyers premium, so the value he accepted for the piece is the hammer price. Therefore, although someone has technically paid more he/she was willing to let the piece go in this instance for $11k.
Also, saying that ยฃ10.5k is good because a gallery sold one for ยฃ11k is silly since this is a forum that prides itself in not ripping each other off with gallery prices, and galleries take commission out of the sale price.
Just my 2 pence.

Jerome Lagarrigue , by medichead on Apr 9, 2017 20:00:58 GMT 1, Like this guy but not sure his works as strong as Conor's. Shame the laz print is digital and not silkscreen too. What do we think on this guy? Is he going to blow up or drift along
I agree.
He's obviously talented and have huge appreciation for his style, but I can't get behind the subject matter of his latest work in The Tipping Point as something I would want on my wall. Out of interest, the oil paintings ranged from ยฃ6k to ยฃ21.5k for the largest, with charcoals on paper for ยฃ3k.
For me it'll be a case of looking at his next body of work to determine if I can get something to put up on a wall.
If anyone has a photo of a framed up Colossus print from Laz do show us - I'd be very interested to see how it looks.

Harland Miller โข Happiness The Case Against, by medichead on Apr 3, 2017 15:17:35 GMT 1, Whilst the Rags slogan doesn't click with me, I am surprised to see it available at that price point for so long. I think some may be put off by it not having Miller's name accross it and/or it being a giclee (rightly or wrongly).
And on some level, the mouldy/damp appearance is not hugely aesthetically pleasing. I feel the same towards 'I'll Never Forget'.
Just my opinion though

Do you really appreciate the "art" of Banksy?, by medichead on Apr 2, 2017 8:50:24 GMT 1, Don't dig too deep or you'll find out that the price of Banksy stuff has very little to do with the art. It's become an investors paradise now they've tired of hoarding fine wine and gold.
Could this be not applied to any artist whose originals command 6 figures? I have to agree - ultimately we're talking about prints of stencils selling for > ยฃ50k, so this is clearly far beyond the objective artistic merit.

Banksy in Palestine ๐ต๐ธ, by medichead on Mar 19, 2017 17:46:16 GMT 1, I don't know where you're based, but in the US, the mainstream media does not cover any atrocities or genocidal acts throughout the world unless they can get ratings.ย The US Government also provides a large amount of funding to Israel to support the US hegemony with its strategic military installations in the area. Israel/Palestine relations is covered to a certain extent in the media, since Israel is a US ally. The coverage usually is skewed toward pro-Israeli interests as the media is largely controlled by Jewish Americans (i'm passing no judgment here). So most of the news will center on what's going on with those interests and the people will make up their mind based on that information or decide whether to seek out additional information, if they're so inclined. So, as a result the masses, artists included, who rely on the mainstream media for its education learn about only what's readily available to them. If American artists aren't properly informed about the world, and only receive a small amount of information which is skewed towards US interests, then they will create art based on their limited knowledge. I'd assume that artists are usually on the liberal side and would gravitate towards sympathy for the down-trodden and oppressed. At this time, Palestinians are the ones being oppressed on a daily basis, so this could be the reason that they have chosen to create pro-Palestinian art. Is it a cash-grab? I don't believe so, unless the individual artists are completely aware of the other atrocities and purposely decide to choose the subject matter which they think would have the most marketability. Truth is, I have no idea what each artist's intent is and how they decide to create the art they create. And I doubt any other person on this forum does either, unless have personally discussed the decision process with the 9 out of 10 artists that you speak of. So your honest question really can't be answered fully, right? As all US media outlets on tv are publicly traded companies, and the share holders are majority asset managers for say public pensions, how do you come to the educated conclusion "Jews" control the media. That is about as antisemetic and uninformed as it gets. The owners of the Us media, who control the media companies, are as far from Jewish controlled as you can get. Are you telling me that the California teachers retirement fund is a bunch of Jews? You do realize there are only 13mm Jews in the world? Maybe 4-5mm in the USA. Do you really think that population has bought all of the equity market cap of every single news outlet? Where do people come up with this garbage. Did you read that in a Saudi tourism guide book advertising section? There are 1.6bln muslims and a giant pool of wealth that has the ability to influence media at an infinite multiple more than Jews. Oil money my friends. So you really think all those purple Lamborghinis riding around london and Paris are Jews? Do you know that these oil rich Arab countries have hundreds of billions of dollars in funds such as ADIA. They invest in media companies. Guess who does not. Who does not have a govt fund, Israel. Do you guys understand how global finance works or is your understanding limited to Michael Moore docudramas and BBC 1hr specials on banking?
You sure are getting riled up for someone who sought to encourage an honest discussion about Palestine and art.
