David Hockney ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Painting โข Show News โข Art For , by ab3 on Jan 22, 2024 13:15:08 GMT 1, I was just looking at the amazing collections that Elton John is selling at the moment. I'm in awe and saw one of these in the collection. So if you are interested you may want to bid and pretty cool having Elton John as the previous owner.

Best Banksy items for beginners, by ab3 on Jan 19, 2024 19:48:20 GMT 1, Those are class, they look great framed. Whats the going rate for the flying copper and where would be best to look for one? Sorry it was a few years ago when I got them, so don't really know what they go for now, but keep an eye on eBay.

Best Banksy items for beginners, by ab3 on Jan 19, 2024 17:23:53 GMT 1, Not the best picture, but I just had to take them off the wall to put them all together. But should give an idea of what some postcards and stickers look like framed. V nice! Whatโs the flower thrower, trollies and sale ends cards / stickers from?? I have a nice flower thrower from Boomerang that I really like but itโs portrait not landscape: http://instagram.com/p/CgSZzKesZat Not sure I can recall where they were from, I hunted down them all on eBay. (managed to buy a few fake Kate Moss cards before someone on this forum was selling a real one)

Best Banksy items for beginners, by ab3 on Jan 19, 2024 13:26:20 GMT 1, Not sure if anyone has mentioned the Stickers yet, but they are great to collect and relatively good value. There are some really cool postcards out there as well including the Kate Moss ones (but watch out for fakes). I can take some photos of stickers / postcards framed if anyone is interested. I would love to see those if you're up for it. Not the best picture, but I just had to take them off the wall to put them all together.

Marc Quinn - First ever Timed Release, by ab3 on Dec 4, 2023 10:25:14 GMT 1, Did anyone go for the Balinese cat one? Yep I did as well.
Having a couple of cats at home and preferring the colour of it, as well as getting our Damien Hirst Beautiful Spin Painting to look like my daughters blue eyes, it seemed a no brainer to get the cat one.

Magnum Square print sale password?, by ab3 on Oct 18, 2023 10:46:52 GMT 1, Since some have mentioned the Armstrong photo and for those that like space photography: there was an auction that only had these sorts of photos, but all of them vintage prints. Some iconic, many gorgeous. Just browsing though the catalogue was a joy: www.dorotheum.com/de/a/99412/ Love that and it's convinced me to go for the Armstrong photo. Thanks.

Magnum Square print sale password?, by ab3 on Oct 17, 2023 16:18:12 GMT 1, I think its this one for me as well.
How often do you get to buy a work of art literally created not on this world and I'm not sure i've ever seen any other Neil Armstrong photos for sale.
I know it's not signed and only estate stamped, but I think sometimes that doesn't matter. I got a Robert Capa in one of the past sales and love it.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by ab3 on Apr 17, 2023 18:20:20 GMT 1, If I had a boss I would've been sacked by now for pratting about with this generator. Still on the fence, I love the concept but do feel like I'm paying the price for a bag of fudge at a pick n mix and getting marshmallows and flying saucers instead. One thing I've noticed is the jump in size between S, M and L is 75% whereas L and XL is only 40%. So the large is the better buy for me. Whether XL proves to be better on secondary... who knows. Thoughts on edition size? My guesstimate. S: circle 2000 square 400 M: circle 1200, square 240 L: circle 800, square 160 XL: circle 600, square 120 I reckon you will be right with the total ratio between circle and square (5:1). I would be surprised if the total number is as low as 5,500 based on previous Hirst timed releases. If the Empresses had an edition of 15,000+ @ $3,500 (in Jan 2022) then I guess it has got to be 7,500+. I also think there might be slightly more XL than Large sold and similar numbers of Small and Medium. My guess will be a total of 8,000: Small - 2,000 circle / 300 square Medium - 2,000 circle / 300 square Large - 1,000 circle / 300 square X-Large - 1,300 circle / 300 square + 500 NFTs Will be interesting to see how markets have shifted and we know Heni will confirm the numbers sold fairly quickly after the sales have closed. So 5,108 physical artworks in the end. Thought it would be interesting to see how the predictions faired. Looks like fewer actual ones than we predicted.
Still glad I managed to get one, based it on my daughter's blue eye colours and continued till I got one that looked like an eye.

New Blek le Rat print โThe Kingโ, by ab3 on Apr 12, 2023 19:44:40 GMT 1, WOW what a nightmare that was. Been trying since 7pm on the dot.
Had to refresh loads and loads, went though PayPal many times, but it kept saying 'something went wrong' on the order page. So kept trying and trying. The money looks like it's been taken out a few times, but I never got a confirmation email.
Just kept trying doing the same thing over and over and i've just finally got a confirmation email as well as a PayPal email.
Hope others are lucky and if for some reason I end up with more than one, i'll shout out on here incase anyone did miss out.
Best of luck

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by ab3 on Apr 6, 2023 10:49:55 GMT 1, Also has there ever been an artists who has released this many unique works in one go?
I saw a rough estimate from pamplemousse (I think) who reckoned that there would be about 5500 of these sold.
If nothing else, to produce that many totally different works of art in one release is pretty spectacular.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by ab3 on Apr 2, 2023 18:07:22 GMT 1, I've really gone back and forth on these and I'm still not sure what to think even after playing around with the app for a couple of days and reading the whole thread on here, which is a lot more downbeat than I was expecting. My very first thought was WHAT IS HIRST DOING? Up until now the Heni stuff has been relatively cheap for all to own, but printed on metal or unsigned or whatever, keeping it well apart from the more expensive works he makes. But this project is on canvas and signed on the front. I get Hirst isn't painting them and they might end up looking a bit cheap, but the option is still there now for pretty much anyone who likes Hirst and has a few quid or a credit card to own a signed Hirst canvas. Speaking to several dealers, they agreed with me, this will annoy/piss off lots of collectors potentially with deep pockets who currently have Hirst Spins or small Hirst canvasses on the wall. He is surely killing at least a part of the top end of his market? Or annoying many people who might have been considering bidding hundreds of thousands at auction for his work? Feels a short term or risky move to me(but I am sure they know a lot more than me about the art world). My other thought was why isn't he limiting these to say 500 each size in an edition (even if all 500 unique colours) and charging 10 or 30 times the price? I guess because the way they are made means he can produce tons of them for next to nothing now they have the software....but i think a limited number would make them more sought after. I've had fun trying to make the perfect one for myself, not sure I have achieved it but I have made a few I like so I'll likely buy a small one based on the feedback of the quality. I also presumed these might re-sell ok if you held for a year or two but then reading this thread changed my mind.....people are right that ultimately the colours are a very personal choice AND the issue is Hirst didn't choose the colours, Paul from Stoke did and this will perhaps help to keep the resale value down IMHO. So I think buy if you like them and continue to slate if you dont. Lastly, it's an interesting project and app to create the spins IMHO but it comes so quickly after so many other Hirst/Heni combos, you wouldn't be confident about this app not being used on some other project at a later date, or some other signed canvas prints being just around the corner. This era seems to be Hirst just playing the greatest hits over and over with minor variations, or in this individual case, perhaps I am playing the track for him and he just comes in and signs it off as his song at the end... Actually I think that's an interesting point:
"you wouldn't be confident about this app not being used on some other project at a later date, or some other signed canvas prints being just around the corner."
Could this app / software be used to create personal / individual / unique spot 'paintings' at some point in the future?
I've always wanted to own a spot painting and if I could get one with a starting point of around ยฃ1500 I'd snap that up (i've got one of these spin paintings btw as I regret passing on 'The Currency' and I like these).
