Keith Haring FRAMED, by ab3 on Mar 26, 2021 13:42:41 GMT 1, As this thread is back in business does anyone know anything about these Harings? They are called Bayer Suite and are offset lithographs on glassine paper (a kind of thin tracing paper) and signed in the print. I picked them up on eBay back in 2004 as the auction had misspelt Haring (as Harring) for a few hundred pounds and Southerby's valued them back then at ยฃ1500, but I've always wondered about them and if they are considered 'proper' Haring's, what's the story about them and what they may be worth now? We love them and I think there were six in the set, but we only have four, but they look great together. They are dated 1982, so quite an early style of his and as I said signed in the print. I think from an edition of 70, but they are not numbered. If anyone has any info on them, i'd love to hear it. I've also got a set of these (all six) in the original frames. They are a suite of six offset lithographs in colours published in 1982. Haring was commissioned to create this suite of prints by the board members of Bayer AG on the occasion of the release of the heart medication, Sali-Adalat and the series consists of a range of motifs on the theme of movement and the heart. There were 70 un-numbered sets in total with printed signatures with an additional 5 sets signed in pencil by the artist for the directors of the company. Complete sets of these rarely come up for sale and are difficult to source in good condition. The glassine paper used is quite thin and tends to yellow and ripple a little with age. Price wise, I would suggest ยฃ8-ยฃ10k for a full set in good condition with original frames is probably realistic given edition size. As has been mentioned elsewhere on this thread they do pop-up from time to time on ebay (mostly from German sellers). Thanks so much for this. Yes I've been following them for a while as I've had an interest since getting four back in 2004.
I'm pleased to say that I have since managed to pick up the missing two, so we now have all six. We haven't got the original frames though and there is a slight colour difference between these four and the remaining two that we now have. But at least we have the whole set.
I'm looking forward to the framers opening again when I can get them all framed up properly.
Really nice to have these in the collection though. Love Haring and his work.

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by ab3 on Mar 19, 2021 8:53:21 GMT 1, Few things spring to mind here reading the comments.
Supply and demand for one.
If there are eight buyers for a GWRB and only one being sold, the price is going to be high. If there are eight buyers and 3 or 4 (like this year already) GWRB, the price will probably be lower.
Also remember that 'there is no loss in making a profit' for those of you who did sell in the past. You were probably pretty happy with what you got and thinking you could have got more now will only lead down a dark road and not do you any good.

Art Insurance in the UK, by ab3 on Feb 27, 2021 11:39:12 GMT 1, I've just gone through this whole process. I use Hiscox but through Brownhill insurance, a brokerage. Who really know their stuff. I also spoke to Ultimart and got a vastly more expensive quote than through Brownhills.
Due to recent market price rises and the value of the collection the premium has doubled, so I really took a look at the market and different options available. Like having one very expensive piece on a separate policy. However Hiscox through Brownhills came out best again. Although I do now have to have an alarm system fitted.
I also have my home insurance with them so that if there is ever an issue, hopefully the broker will sort out any arguing between the two insurance companies. Also make sure your home insurance know that you have separate insurance for your art collection.
I don't work for Brownhills or have any connection with them, have just been very happy with them and have been dealing with Steve who has been very helpful and worked hard to get me the best premiums.

The Best Film Ever, by ab3 on Feb 20, 2021 10:40:33 GMT 1, Just watch Speed (1994) such a great action flick. Introduced it to the kids who loved it. Keanu is great in it and such a movie star. If you want some fun, I highly recommend this. #stayonorgetoff Keanu Reeves may as well be made of cardboard. I dont think the words movie star or actor should be uttered in the same sentence. Hopper is the star of that film Hopper is great in that film. That's what I love, Hopper plays a villain unlike most villains and Keanu isn't like most movie stars. He's slightly off the wall. (all though I still maintain that he run's in a strange way), but just look at all his iconic rolls. And they are iconic.
Still a great film though.

Long-term storage of framed prints, by ab3 on Feb 16, 2021 13:19:27 GMT 1, Just wanted to follow up on this and see if you found anywhere or if you can recommend anywhere.
I'm at the point that my art insurance premium had gone through the roof and they now want a centrally monitored alarm fitted. So i'm wondering if I could put a couple of pieces into storage and this would work out financially better.

Blek le Rat โข Anarchist Rat, by ab3 on Feb 3, 2021 15:52:34 GMT 1, Landed in the states today. Time to go to the framers. Why does it say on the CoA "January 2020" ? It should be 2021...Someone screwed up Just checked and mine says Jan 2020 as does the one on eBay.
Either they were printed last year and they've sat on them for a year before release or it's a mistake.
I think I like that even more if it is a mistake.

RIP Ricky Powell, by ab3 on Feb 2, 2021 18:51:54 GMT 1, Oh no, that's so sad.
He was an amazing photographer and captured a really interesting time.
I had the pleasure of going to a talk he did and meeting him afterwards. He really was a unique character. He spent the whole night telling amazing stories and drinking a couple of bottles of Baileys Irish liqueur.

Imagine if we had something like this for Picasso. It' would be an amazing archive and used in art schools all over the world.
Love his work and love learning more about it.
