PROVING YOU ARE THE OWNER, by silvermyn on Oct 2, 2009 14:30:42 GMT 1, i mean i am sure the print is not dodgey, it was bought several years ago for ยฃ125 - hardly a big deal to rob someone for and at the time you could still get banksy soup cans for ยฃ50. My problem thinking about the current system is that I could want to pay for provenance and then find that its impossible to get - so does it mean my print is not worth the going rate. I get the impression PC thought up the idea and then realised there was some flaws in it. If I was to buy a Banksy and do a forgery of it there is the possibility that 2 editions of the same print would be floating about and if I was to pay for another PC certificate the "extra" copy would also have the provenance?
you bought the Hewlett instead of the soup cans...

PROVING YOU ARE THE OWNER, by silvermyn on Oct 2, 2009 13:42:26 GMT 1, The blind stamp is not conclusive, there were a few fake prints with blind stamps if I remember correctly as these can also be forged.
Take a photo of your print and email it over to POW if you're really concerned. They may or may not be able to help but I doubt you'll get formal authentication from them. Good luck with it.

PROVING YOU ARE THE OWNER, by silvermyn on Oct 2, 2009 12:45:59 GMT 1, If you are enquiring about a Banksy print then contact Dora at Picture On Walls thought the website. POW tend to keep a register of owners and can confirm whether you are recorded as the registered owner. POW can even sell you a certificate for ยฃ50 plus VAT.
If it's the work of a different artist then you may have more of a challenge on your hands with authentication. Either way, best contact the gallery where you bought the print and see what they can do for you.

Looking to buy Barcode Signed, by silvermyn on Oct 2, 2009 12:40:49 GMT 1, Ha! The seller probably got a few emails from existing owners worried that he was lowering the value of their prints.
IMHO if it was worth ยฃ6k then it would have sold at that price this morning.

Tate takes a commercial break, by silvermyn on Sept 29, 2009 12:51:51 GMT 1, Good business, Andy Warhol said, is the best art.
Tate Modern is now set to test this thesis when it opens a giant show profiling the stars of contemporary art this week.
The gallery is mixing modern art and commercialism in an exhibition examining the influence of Warhol on his successors.
The show pitches Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin as clear descendants of the self-mythologising and commercially savvy Warhol in a show that looks at how artists have created their own signature brands over the last 30 to 40 years.
Gallery: Tate Modern's Pop Life exhibition
It comes after Nicholas Penny, director of the rival National Gallery, called for an end to the blockbuster exhibition and shows the Tate reaching out to populist audiences as well as art enthusiasts.
But Pop Life curator Catherine Wood insisted: "It's not going to be an easy, familiar show for people in the way that a big Warhol blockbuster is."
The exhibition starts with the late Warhol of cable television broadcasts, not the well-known soup cans and Brillo boxes, and examines how he and subsequent artists have infiltrated and used the publicity machine and marketplace instead of shunning commercialism.
Ms Wood said there was a clear line that could be traced from the Young British Artists like Emin and Hirst back to Warhol.
Many of them first encountered Warhol's work in London in an influential show staged by Charles Saatchi in 1985 and later some even met Warhol in New York before he died in 1987.
The influence was made manifest in Hirst's ground-breaking London Docklands warehouse show of his contemporaries' work, Freeze, in 1988.
"But it was not just Warhol. Warhol was taken over by Jeff Koons who engaged with publicity and self-promotion and used them in his work," Ms Wood said.
Some - like Mark Rothko, another artist recently profiled by Tate Modern - thought such an approach was selling out. But Ms Wood said it was more honest than artists who took commissions to survive but refused to accept them as art.
By creating their own limited editions and merchandise, Pop Life artists also made art available for all. "What links a lot of the artists from Warhol to Koons to Hirst is a democratic impulse to take art to the mass public," she said. The exhibition is recreating some important moments in recent art history. Specially recruited identical twins will sit for the duration of the show beneath identical spot paintings in a new version of a 1982 performance/installation by Hirst.
Anyone who missed the art store famously run by Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas in the East End early in their careers can get a glimpse of what it was like. And the original Pop Shop created by the late Keith Haring in New York in the Eighties has also been recreated, complete with music and facsimile merchandise.
The exhibition is also coming out of the gallery and into the commercial heart of central London when a copy of one of Koons's most famous works is mounted in Covent Garden.
A 53ft replica of his 3ft stainless steel sculpture Rabbit, dating from 1986, is being placed in the South Hall of the Market Building.
Bev Churchill, from Covent Garden, said: "We are delighted to be hosting one of his most recognisable pieces on its inaugural visit to the UK."
Gallery: Tate Modern's Pop Life exhibition
Pop Life, Art in a Material World opens on Thursday and runs until 17 January with full-price admission at ยฃ12.50.

Antony Micallef - Lazarides - 25th Sept, by silvermyn on Sept 23, 2009 9:06:55 GMT 1,
This show is set to be one best shows of 2009. Laz have been inundated with requests for preview tickets.
I think if you ain't got an invite you ain't gonna get one by calling. I overheard someone asking in person when I went for the Yeo originals and he was told that there is no chance

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by silvermyn on Sept 21, 2009 16:50:33 GMT 1, would be careful of the HC on ebay I dont know the print or seller, but clip framed is a bit of a risk - it may be faded & unless you have first hand experience of them & their original colour, it would be difficult to tell - also that glass pressing on the print isnt a good omen for the money you are looking at - check alos if its been trimmed to fit - you cant be too careful - the HC have a good margin on them and would be easy to cut down to size... rule of thumb - either portfolio stored or properly framed ... though many would avoid a pre framed print as you dont know how it has been mounted or the quality of the framing... horses / courses obv.
Some wise words. Wish I had about a year ago...

Bridget Riley ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by silvermyn on Sept 16, 2009 12:09:26 GMT 1, Thank you, an interesting read printguru. I wasn't aware of Hayter and Edwards work before Vasarely
I have to agree with you, there are a lot of Vasarely prints out there. He also did some lovely work on carpet (including the Zebras) and cereamic so his work translated well to mediums other than paper. I've got a large perspex Vasarely chess set which although not signed was limited to 1000. Again a large edition issues with that one

Whilst there is nothing wrong with this print, if I was spending ยฃ350 on OpArt I'd put it towards a smaller edition by the master himself.
