Dolk - Wildlife @ Galleri S.E. in Bergen , by Manty on Aug 21, 2013 18:14:06 GMT 1, I've always wanted the 'Nam' print but can't get ยฃ3k to get one, plus I think ยฃ3k is far too much. I dont know if I agree with you or not.
Can someone make my mind up for me while I have a little ramble
these are originals of a 25 edition if i am right? seems a little bit of an oxymoron, however the artist has sprayed each bit of paper using a stencil and a can of paint right? 4 x 25 edition @ยฃ3k ea= a very good night out
I remember Neate doing similar where he didnt use a stencil but using black spray in one mighty move sprayed various heads onto paper. They went for ยฃ10k a pop from memory.
I dont know if i would buy one of these or not, i have spunked cash on worse things.
I suppose Dolk is pretty much top of the tree insofar as his marketing and being noticed. Its all rather average really from my viewpoint, saying that I pretty much like all the editions, but nothing gives me the wow factor
I would only part with my cash if i knew i could get my money back in a year or so.
I am bored with this ramble now, as you were

Dolk - Wildlife @ Galleri S.E. in Bergen , by kendo on Aug 21, 2013 20:45:05 GMT 1, I was thinking the same Manty - in two minds as it's big bucks!
It says 'All 25 editions are hand painted and numbered and signed on the front', so in theory they will be unique albeit with the same image!
As these are on paper and at 97x68 cm framing will not be cheap especially if using UV / museum glass.
Also, they aren't quite ยฃ3k - after doing a quite currency conversion they are closer to ยฃ2700!

Still a decent amount of $$$$ to drop but heh, you can't take it with you......

If you can afford this you could probably afford the framing. Depends where you go also.

Me too. I've seen the real life footage of this and it is truly shocking but it just works as a print IMO.

Whilst yes it's cool it's not 3k cool , it's cough.
Manty I remember those works , looking back on it is like looking back on a slow mo 'Julie christie and Donald Sutherland in a film about death and the afterlife'.
Careful out there.

Sorry but people should be disputing comments like this. Just because a select few with money buy on the primary pay these prices and above , this does not mean in the secondary this is the 'going rate'.
This gap in expectations is something anyone investing in Dolk should worry about, there is little to no proof that his prices are increasing to these stated levels at present in the secondary.
One other thing that should concern potential buyers is the output of Dolk, this latest show and I've seen the PDF is not great, of the headline pieces I've struggled to find one of note.
I'm sure there's a good 5 stong network of gallery owners, rich buyers and duped lower level buyers (who've used money they don't intrinsically have to buy inflated canvas prices ) who will dispute this post wholeheartedly . I'd ask anyone new to this and tempted to at least consider my post.

I've heard these kind of statements time and again here (for many different artists) do you know how often they've been true?
That's not to say you're lying just that you've been told something you've implied this from, because that's the message they want sold.
