OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by siveone on May 17, 2016 22:14:37 GMT 1, Os Gemeos have given so much for free to the art world.
I hope the image would be great, I realy like THE OTHER SIDE and their last murals.
I also thought about the upcoming price. And 6000 to 7200 seems normal for artists with such a attention.
They paint their walls to share it for free. They sold paintings for less than 1000 a decade ago. Now they have reached the great art market and there is money to take 
Also the printers, 99prints, the graphic guys and the distibuters... like to take some cash.
I also like artists selling cool stuff for 50 bugs and I also like prints for 5000 bugs.
Actually I am not sure if I will purchase one, it would be great to see the full image and to know some sizes of the work. If someone has some shots, please feel free to post it.
I think the prints go fast. They reached some new fans and buyers for sure...

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by mpow on May 17, 2016 22:30:11 GMT 1, Very interested in this print release as their originals have skyrocketed out of my price range and would kick myself for passing on possibly the last chance to hang and view their work everyday. Their paintings are truly unbelievable in person for those that have only seen the last print....
I contacted 99prints directly for a preview and this was their reply:
"99prints.net is a pop up store concept and the print will be revealed tomorrow at the right time we announced earlier today."
Not sure I agree with the manner I which the print is being released, but I do support the twins unmistakable talent.

These will be gone in a flash. Can't see the harm in sharing an image so people could arrange funds if they were thinking of going for one.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by Hairbland on May 18, 2016 0:33:05 GMT 1, The price is quite high, but considering thier body of work as a whole it's probably spot on. Os Gemeos is arguably in the same league as kaws and his prices are similer at source (recently at least) and kaws has probably 3,000+ prints in circulation. Considering Os Gemoes only has 198 prints ever released the price is quite good all things considered. In terms of Long term investment value it's probably a better buy than say a middle-range banksy. If you look at artists who didn't produce many prints, like Cy Twombly for example, there multiples tend to be the most expensive decades down the line.
Sales history of Other Side shows 17 sold in last 6 months, ranging from a low of $6,700 to a high of $9,900, with an average of $8,000. Based on this the new print pricing seems to reflect what people will pay. It would be silly for it to be sold for less. And based on history it will be sold within 2 years easily for a 50% profit. For the insane it could be resold very quickly as it seems the highest prices on Other Side got up near $15,000, maybe by that guy with the big coke spoon posted earlier.
This makes it street art that has become gallery/secondary market art, a machine that is always hungry with buyers and their advisors.
To complain about it also seems silly. Either the Street Art / Urban Art scene is dead (as those like Tabby don't do their predecessors justice, or others like Chevrier have have essentially become instant gallery darlings after dipping a toe in the urban art scene for cred) or the search and support for the next wave isn't strong enough.
I've worked in the music biz for years - many of the artists that people here dig the most remind me of getting excited over the 8th Pavement record - or that 9th Belle & Sebastian record, or the 7th Psychedelic Furs record - a regurgitation of past success. It is the rare artist in any field that can continue to create interesting new work that inspires discussion - Banksy would seem to be one.
But there is definitely a need for the discovery and support of the new and exciting, something more focused than the Artists You Have't Heard Of Thread. Seems like this could be the place.

i have spent a night with the Bush Tetras in the " loge " of Le Grand Rex night club ! Excellent, lovely girls , and the drummer ( a boy ) have played after with The Gun Club.
But the legends were ESG and almost all Liquid Liquid.
Thanks for these souvenirs Hairbland...

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by natstan on May 18, 2016 1:24:24 GMT 1, Personally I dont understand the appeal. They make killer walls. The last print was not interesting at all and I would never spend thousands of dollars on a yellow person/character. I would rather spend it in a banksy or kaws. Its one thing to buy art from an artist you know will hold value and people know of across the world, but its another to buy something that wouldnt make my wall EVER. Yes, people across the world know OS Gemoes but they are not banksy. I imagine plenty US buyers would have no idea who they are unless they are die hard fans. Its worth noting that paying $6k to just hold into in hopes it goes up over time is not everyones luxury. GL to people rolling the dice on this one. Thats a expensive piece of paper.
Are they really that well known across the world? I reckon people here in Asia knowing invader, banksy, fairey (obey) and kaws is a high possibility. Most here will give you a blank face if you say Os 'what?' Gemeos.

why does it matter? everyone knows what a Rolex is but only the elite know about A. Lange & Sohne. What matters is who collects the works and how deep their pockets are.

I'm only referencing based on 'known across the world' at face value. Just a question... And at face value, those names I mentioned are indeed well known to even non-collectors.

No, he's comparing them to a more elitist watch brand which I unfortunately really don't care for... Lol

Hi, being a new member you would not know that it is considered poor form to say that you are looking for the same work as the original poster in their thread. Likewise to offer for sale the same thing as someone else in their sales thread. It's known hijacking a thread, I believe. As quinnster said, it's best to start your own thread. Welcome to the forum.

Looks like a classic Os Gemeos image to me. It's the same moaning as last time. The only thing I have a problem with is how 99prints makes it come across like this is a affordable drop for everybody. It's not and maybe they should go about their marketing differently so they don't piss of the people that are clearly not their audience. If I had the cash I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Without having an idea how the image exactly looks like (I know it will contain those figures), you have decided you'll buy it if you have the cash? So are we buying the art itself or the artist's name? Sometimes I marvel at the power of brands and how it can make people hand over their hard earned cash without sweat.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by mla on May 18, 2016 8:54:46 GMT 1, Isn't that true of any print though? Beyond the labour, ink and paper, you are paying for the name of the artist. In this case, that spread is larger than it is for many other artists, but that is a function of their notoriety and the culmination of what they've accomplished in their careers as artists.

Yes, I am sure.
I think the rule you are referring to relates to individuals not starting lots of threads for each item they are selling.
There is not a rule saying you can't hijack someone else's for sale or thread, as far as I am aware. But it is generally considered to be poor form.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by Chrisp on May 18, 2016 10:27:16 GMT 1, This forum is getting far too easy to read posts and see people's agendas, aims and goals. Not pointing at anyone in particular but just seems like a lot of people are trying to convince others that things are good or bad and needed all for value purposes.
People trying to justify the price on here should just buy it and that's enough. People talking about it's too much money just move on and buy something they can afford.
Sadly this forum and whole scene is going the wrong way with financial gains taking president over the art.
Sorry for offence caused
This forum is getting far too easy to read posts and see people's agendas, aims and goals. Not pointing at anyone in particular but just seems like a lot of people are trying to convince others that things are good or bad and needed all for value purposes.
People trying to justify the price on here should just buy it and that's enough. People talking about it's too much money just move on and buy something they can afford.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by natstan on May 18, 2016 10:38:29 GMT 1, Isn't that true of any print though? Beyond the labour, ink and paper, you are paying for the name of the artist. In this case, that spread is larger than it is for many other artists, but that is a function of their notoriety and the culmination of what they've accomplished in their careers as artists.
Not really, I buy a print mainly for the aesthetics or concept of the image and whether it's worth that $ taking into consideration those factors you mentioned, I personally hate the faces of those figures in OG's works and will never buy it to hang. If I know 101 percent it will be worth $12k next week - even without seeing the image - I might buy it and sell it to fund other purchases I like. But we know such things don't happen.

The good prints are works of art in themselves. Can be appreciated as originals.. I hope this would fall into that category at six k ha.
