I totally agree with you, I can see both sides to this one. Thats why I posted on here! All I think he needs is some more public exposure like Banksy sees.

you could have easily have said that about banksy 3-4 years ago. I only bought LOVE and PEACE because I think they are good pieces. Definately wary about buying art i'm not keen on. I'll be cautious with this one.

What artists (whose art is currently affordable) could make good future investments in prints? I start uni next year and thought that if I buy some decent stuff now I can unload it when I need the cash.

There's no yes or no with Hutch. Just yes, twice.

Thrice..

cruel? are you referring to the Liverpool players banging 8 past that poor keeper? Cos i know you'd be watching Bigman ;D

And quote of the year goes to.......... sausageboonwee!!!!


All most piss myself!!

Serious answer - get some d*face stuff while you can

Jboy - I hope DFace is paying you commission.

I hear that Banksy chap is a good invement

Welll this thread was fook'd anyway ;D

whats cruel? is it a wind up bout this hutch guy? or am i missing something?

northern rock.

not just me then

i'm off, later's.

Your not going to get many serious answers here, but ill lend my opinion. You came here asking a question like what will the lottery #'s be next week. The truth is nobody knows. Insect has some great stuff and some avg stuff. Ill admit im not his biggest fan. If your looking to make money in art do some research, watch who is hot when, and follow sales, otherwise hire an advisor to do it for you. Its also becomes very difficult to make money when you really like everything you have and you run out of "pieces im willing to sell." All in all, it comes down to a lot of reading, a little luck, and good taste ( or at least taste to the lowest common denominator). Just be discerning when you buy things. Ask youself a few questions before enetering your credit card #. Will I be able to get my money back on this, or more, if something should come up? Will I like this is 10, 20 years? Who represents this artist? Who is collecting this artist? Why are people collecting this artist?

Good luck with school. I wish I was into art while I was in college.

Iv just realised Iv become one of those smug forum members that snide at unkowledgable newbies! what a tosser!

Il put you out of your misery! Hutch is not a good investment, i think i can safely say that! its abit of a forum joke thing that keeps popping up! - just ignore that!

I wont judge your motives for buying and selling art but it really comes down to research and getting yourself involved - and 'you will' become an art addict as you go along!

There are very knowledgable members on here who will help you aslong as you join in and give opinions and kinda contribute what you can!

my advice would be listen to the suggestions that people make as investment - but even more importantly listen to the reasons why, why is the art so good, what makes it stand out, what makes it so desirable and before you kow it you will have your own specific tastes that you will steer to and will be able to tell a shite piece from a masterpiece at a glance!!!! until then i would avoid jumping on the hype bandwagions that come and go and buy what appeals to you, dont spend more than you can afford to lose. hope that all makes sense im rambling again

best of luck with finding the art that does it for you - and hopefully it will be worth a pretty penny!
