Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by Deleted on Jul 31, 2014 21:51:30 GMT 1, haha. It comes down to the different types of collectors or enthusiasts.
The ones who love the art, the artists and buy or dont buy but appreciate, the ones who jump onto a genre and flip, and the ones who purchase and change up their collections from time to time.
I definitely buy some art to sell, and I buy a lot to keep, But you wont catch me flipping a newly released item unless its a *BNE x Bansky tee. It is exciting to watch your purchases rise in value, but its bullshit to take advantage of people because youre faster on the click.
*fuck that tee.

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by sgolby on Jul 31, 2014 22:04:24 GMT 1, I often ask myself the same question, but think it has to do with the fact that classic "Bubble Graffiti" to many people is too literal, they like it in coffee table books, and 80 pictures of walls and trains, but when it comes to prints it scares them. The other side is the fact that most of those cats never went commercial, except for Cope 2. Commercial, meaning marketing limited edition prints of their art... just my thoughts. Here is how we view NYC Old Skool Graffiti. Short and simple. If it was not for these guys painting the trains in the 70's and 80's, the "Street art " Scene as we know and and so called "Urban Art" may look a whole lot different, these guys are the grandfathers of the movement and deserve their acclaim. Peace

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by natstan on Aug 1, 2014 1:18:33 GMT 1, Would be a nice way to raise funds, but doubt it would thwart many flippers unfortunately. True, but at least some of the high rollers money would go to charity instead of the flippers.

Keep off the flippers? Easy. Everybody just don't mention they like the print or say they want it (even if you really really do) on here or anywhere else. |

Best way to thwart the flippers would be for artists to put 5-10 copies of their print on Ebay for charity. I would argue the best way to thwart the flippers is to not buy from them. |

It has some similarities.
Contemporary art based on tradition.
Wouldnt mind a Whatson tagged Monets Bridge

Haha I'm morally torn if I should be trying to track these down to make a diptych/triptych - didn't enter the MW facebook contest because I felt like that was too much. I wouldn't mind some pink and gold hearts surrounding the release day though...

If you want a set (there's 4 diff, correct?) then just go for it buy 'em and create a Warhol-like multiple.
Or don't.
