question about a comission, opinions wanted.., by missnicole12 on Nov 26, 2013 14:30:34 GMT 1, As a collector for the past 5 years or so, i have taken a slow and steady approach putting a focus on my specific tastes. With that said, I've been fortunate enough to acquire some choice pieces by comissiong the artists directly and avoiding the gallery or middle man, the objective was not to save money bypassing the gallery but more so to get an image aligned with what I'm envisioning and having the artists meet me ideas.
Ok so here's my question and I'm sorry if it's a silly one but I've been racking my brain for weeks on whether or not it'll be wise or if it will work aesthetically... I was wondering if anyone has ever commissioned a collaboration for example Shepard fairey and Barry McGee, I know, I know.. before I get rants that was a theoretical example..lol
I have two artists whose works I love and i would really enjoy having a piece done by the two in one image. Thoughts..?

question about a comission, opinions wanted.., by raindogs on Nov 26, 2013 14:37:40 GMT 1, something like a collab/commission you mean? They worked together in the past? They have any connection (group shows together or something similar, are they friends)? If yes, just ask them. On the other side I think it would be difficult to manage, but.... I suggest to ask them anyway!

It's worth noting that a collab will likely have less resale value than works by individuals, so you're taking some more risk with it if you decide the piece isn't for you or your taste changes down the road. This seems like more of a passion project than a market driven proposition, but it's something to keep in mind.
Out of curiosity, what artists are you thinking?

question about a comission, opinions wanted.., by nandaman on Nov 30, 2013 22:44:17 GMT 1, I like the idea - I guess if you have made contact with each, ask them directly if they would be willing. If they are, start a group conversation/e-mail/facebook message/etc and see. It's not impossible, but would be difficult (and probably expensive) - might be more reasonable if they live in the same town...
