Damien Hirst H7 โข Rainbow & Heart, by ab3 on Jul 3, 2020 20:08:17 GMT 1, I bought two rainbow ones and was going to put two together but the hole in the middle isn't a perfect circle; which plays havoc with my OCD tendencies. I just can't bear it. I feel this.

PURE EVIL - SGT PEPPERS BASTARDS, by ab3 on Jun 25, 2020 10:11:59 GMT 1, Oh I didn't know about an edition with invisible ink, that's very cool. I've got an AP of this print. It didn't come with a pen, so I assume it doesn't have any invisible ink.
Lovely print though and looks great on the wall.
Good luck with the sale.

Annie Leibovitz New Print, by ab3 on Jun 19, 2020 19:47:52 GMT 1, As a professional photographer I love her work.
If someone showed this to me and said who took it, I wouldn't have guessed it would have been her. For $1000 it's a very easy pass for me.

Edition number, by ab3 on Jun 16, 2020 10:07:51 GMT 1, I think it's personal opinion and what makes you happy. Is there really that much in it? I think not.
AP's are nice to have if you can get them, but IMO they aren't significantly better than the standard prints. Someone once told me that with an AP it could be one of 10 or 25 identical prints, but the numbered ones are totally unique as there won't be another e.g. 15/75.
I have a few APs (never seen a PP) and love them, given the choice i suppose i'd probably pick them as they are slightly rarer, but I don't think i'd loose sleep over it.
I do have a favourite number edition to collect if I can get that number. Three is our fav number (and the magic number) so we've often asked if that is available and if it is, all the better. When we got a certain print that had a big edition size we knew we wouldn't be able to get 3/500, but we asked if they could source 333/500. So we've got quite a few prints with 3, 33 or 333 in them. Just a little personal thing.
If you like the art, just go for it and enjoy it.

Keith Haring FRAMED, by ab3 on Jun 12, 2020 9:28:58 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. This is the full story. www.bonhams.com/auctions/25439/lot/148/The unsigned editions sell for between ยฃ200-800 per print depending on condition image and provenance. Iโd say a full set should go for between ยฃ2.5-ยฃ4K in good condition with provenance. Thank you LJCal.
We love our prints, but only have four. I've kept my eyes out for the other two, but they don't pop up often. We got them from a woman who worked for an ad agency (I think I remember correctly) in Germany. She'd worked there for years and was given these as a retirement gift. Not planning on selling them, but would love to complete the set at some point.
Thanks once again.

Chris Levine ๐ฌ๐ง Queen Elizabeth โข Print Release โข For Sale, by ab3 on Jun 10, 2020 16:13:42 GMT 1, ab3 I tried to be funny. Didn't work. Oh well.... Depending on how 'profits' is defined, the final edition size could be as little as 50 50x250= 12,500 Half of that is cost, half is profit?! Could be wrong, of course. Ha, sorry went straight over my head.
I think you could be right though as I worked out that ยฃ6000 divided by ยฃ250 was 24. So they could have only sold around 50 as well.
Based on half the price being costs etc.
If only it didn't have that #compassion written on it.

I didn't like the images, but expected it to sell more than that and I think the email I got this morning said that they managed to raise ยฃ6000.
"We'd like to say a huge thank you to everybody who purchased a Chris Levine #compassion edition over the last two weeks, helping us to raise over ยฃ6,000 to date for the Trussell Trust. We were delighted to be able to raise such a fantastic amount for the anti-poverty charity.

Damien Hirst H7 โข Rainbow & Heart, by ab3 on Jun 6, 2020 18:37:40 GMT 1, Update on the packaging of these on Hirst's instagram. Looks nice and secure. Looks great and i'm glad they weren't throwing away loads of packaging (i was wondering how they are going to use the cut outs).
I thought these were printed in Germany, the guy packaging it sounded like he was speaking Italian. Is this that freedom of movement i keep hearing about, or are they being packaged up in Italy and printed in Germany?
Can't wait to get the print.

Banksy Stickers โข All Designs, by ab3 on Jun 6, 2020 10:11:31 GMT 1, I have 3 of the Authorised Graffiti Area stickers from 2004.

Although they only have two types. They need to get some more and get collecting.

Banksy Stickers โข All Designs, by ab3 on Jun 5, 2020 17:37:52 GMT 1, Hi - I have two small 'Americans Working Overhead stickers' which I know are legit as I bought them myself from the Oxfam store opposite Bristol Museum during the Banksy exhibition. Just posting here because they have Starliner, not Fasson, written on the back - hope of help/interest. Cheers, Paul Nice one, i'm glad we have an example of the Starliner backed ones here.
I'm hoping this post acts as a bit of a resource for people.

Banksy Stickers โข All Designs, by ab3 on Jun 3, 2020 14:34:42 GMT 1, Hi Guys, I'm curious because I have glossy Authorised Graffiti Area stickers that are absolutely authentic (i've had them since I picked them up myself at an early Banksy show) and they have completely blank backings as far as I can tell. I also have a matt one that has one word written on the back. Anyone else come across this? Are these stickers doomed to go to their final sticking with no one believing they were the real deal? There is one on eBay at the moment which appears to have a totally plain back. I think the answer is that they got many batches of these printed at different times and just used whatever they had as backs. I think people know you well enough here to trust that yours are authentic.
If you could do me a favour and post some pictures of them on this thread or the other one, we can start to build up a resource and info for people to check theirs.
I'll post my info in the other thread here as well at some point so anyone searching will likely come across it. (I couldn't work out how to get my post in the Bansky Stickers section).

Banksy Stickers โข All Designs, by ab3 on Jun 3, 2020 13:26:27 GMT 1,
I thought i'd do a quick post on what seems to be different versions of some of the Bansky stickers.
Especially the 'FASSON' backed ones as there seems to be two types and there has been a post about them in the past. The first with a clearly defined FASSON logo and the second with a more 'smudged' looser version of the logo.
I've been looking at eBay auctions of these stickers for quite a while now and seeing the types that come up as well as looking at previous sales.
I was lucky enough to get some 'Americans Working Overhead' and 'Authorised Graffiti Area' stickers direct from POW in about 2005. These are the ones with the clearly marked logos.
When I purchased some other stickers in the last couple of years from eBay including the 'Slow Children', 'Kids with Guns' and 'Tanks will be towed', (which the seller had got from the Oxfam Shop opposite the Banksy V Bristol Museum exhibition, when someone from Banksy's team dropped a load of them off there for them to sell) I noticed that these had a different version of the FASSON back. They were a looser logo and I was worried that they were fakes.
However the seller was a trusted seller and assured me that is where he got them direct from and had other bits from that exhibition which he was selling as well as other urban art. I've posted the images from the newspaper clippings he kept from the time as well. I've also seen a few other auctions of the Bristol Oxfam ones with the smudged FASSON backed stickers.
So this brings me round to the 'Graffiti artists must report to reception' stickers. I have a few of these and there are two different types. One with the sharp FASSON back and one with the other version. They are two slightly different sizes as well.
I believe the reason that there are two different versions of the FASSON backed stickers is because POW originally got a load printed up with one printer in 2004 - 2007 and then at a later date around 2008 - 2009 there were another load printed up from maybe another supplier / printer.
Side note - I think there was another type of backing on the stickers at some point, but the name escapes me at the moment. Something like 'fastback'. I'll try to do some more searching to find out. EDIT: someones just said that they were: Starliner or Xerox backed. So it seems like there were a few different types.
Either way I love the Banksy stickers. I'd love to see how anyone else has displayed theirs.

As a photographer, I really don't like that. I think it would have looked great in full colour, why make it look like an Ikea print.

RIP Christo, by ab3 on Jun 1, 2020 16:26:41 GMT 1, Nice. I'm not sure i've ever seen a print of his. Have you got a link to one I could see? This is mine (apologies for the reflection off of the glass!)
That looks great. I'm teaching my kids art / history of art while we're home schooling and thought i'd teach them about Christo today now. So we watched a few video's online and looked at his work and saw loads of these sketches for his ideas. Was very surprised how long he works on each project for and the hard work in getting them done.
We then went down to our local park and tried wrapping a bench in material, but it looked crap, so we ended up wrapping a tree trunk together as a little nod.
