North korea posters?, by achtungbono on May 17, 2014 16:25:15 GMT 1, thanks to everyone who sorted out their orders and got the payment across for my lot from last year
as I may have mentioned a mate is going in September and if there is enough interest, I will give him instructions to get some more from a contact out there
I can sort out another batch
This time however, I would be looking for a token deposit to regsiter serious interest, as a fair few didnt come back when the posters where ready to be shipped. if you can PM me with wants and broad theme of interest, then I can start getting numbers together ( I cant be more specific on what you will get , as sometimes the exact images are not available, but will do my best)
cheers

North korea posters?, by achtungbono on May 17, 2014 19:32:48 GMT 1, ok, questions.
yes, they are NK posters, obtained in Pyongyang.
i do have the contacts to loosely request certain themes in advance, but cant guarantee anything too specific.
I have both thin shitty paper ones from 2007 and thicker paper ones from 2013- it all depends on what paper they have to hand and to draw on I s'pose.The thicker paper travels better and doesnt ripple as much
None of them will ever be signed- this isnt done, as the designs are not always the artists own and have bee rigidly approved and tweaked by various people along the way- so in many cases, the artist is the end of a production line.
cheers

Interestingly, there are lot of Viet posters around that are painted- these are 99.999999999999999999999% replicas, but beatifully aged to make them look period.again,, there are a few sellers around, Danang has a gallery IIRC that seem to b straight but is v expensive- and to be honest, unless you have an electron microscope, you wouldnt know
The NK ones are not retro chic- they are produced for cunsumption and some sold to visitors ( not cheap, but they need hard cash ).
Nice Chinese posters! Are they hand painted too? real chinese cultural revolution ones are thousand of $ and very big amongst the chinese millionare kitsch section. they are all printed- usually on terrible paper, so very few have survived these days. There is a gallery in Shanghai that deals in the real thing that i went to some time ago - they are serious money though Interestingly, there are lot of Viet posters around that are painted- these are 99.999999999999999999999% replicas, but beatifully aged to make them look period.again,, there are a few sellers around, Danang has a gallery IIRC that seem to b straight but is v expensive- and to be honest, unless you have an electron microscope, you wouldnt know The NK ones are not retro chic- they are produced for cunsumption and some sold to visitors ( not cheap, but they need hard cash ). |

(TBH I wouldn't even trust a gallery selling real ones, not that they would be crooks but Forgery is huge issue in CN)
