Martha Cooper ๐บ๐ธ Subway Art Book โข New York Graffiti , by overend on Jun 1, 2015 6:04:50 GMT 1, Yeah as with any art I guess it's subjective. It was a no brainer for me. Smashing print!. Secondary market prices seem a bit nuts IMO hard to classify printing a picture of a picture of someone else's wall piece "art". She's actually a photo journalist according to her own profile which is in factย presenting of news material that employs images in order to tell a news story, which she often does well and not taking anything away from her accomplishments. Don't really see a story being told here either as the image itself is really no different than the other many thousands that were taken. ย In fact it's one of my least favorite I would choose to represent what Banksy did there if I were to choose to have a photo of BOTI or that particular piece at all. Seems if one were a huge fan of hers and just likes having the signature, there would be some value there. Other than that I just don't get it even at it's original 125 euros but at ยฃ1000 pounds it's all starting to make sense.ย
Crazy secondary price but the initial price was ludicrously low. Absolute no brainer for anyone who knew their history and Martha Coopers place in it. To also get something from BOTI was the icing on the cake.

I get your point about it not being art but that in itself is an endless debate - whether photography is art. When Martha's exhibition was showing and hanging in a gallery for people to pay and see was it art then?
We'll go with photo journalist for the sake of argument - that still doesn't make how you view the work as any less subjective. And most of Martha's work is pictures of art on walls, she's done a fantastic job of documenting 'the scene' over the years. Personally to me i think it's a great print and I enjoy it. Two icons in one piece. You don't like the piece and there we come back to it - subjective

This year she returns as a documentarian and will photograph behind the scenes for our 15th anniversary. |

The photo hasn't come up much on the secondary, so there's not too much else to highlight. There are two others on eBay at the moment, with asking prices of ยฃ999 and ยฃ1,200.
One sold on eBay for ยฃ500, one for ยฃ1000 and a gallery had one listed recently for ยฃ1200. I would have thought the ยฃ500 mark is more realistic in terms of what they'll go for. Needless to say I could be completely wrong!

The author of the pic and the subject are a guarantee. unless someone does not change the whole history of the street art movement

But if you want to sell and turn down ยฃ1000 then there's something seriously wrong with you (i.e idiocy, greed). No need to ruin another one's thread with opinions presented as fact.
Romulus, IMO, if you want to sell, I think 500 is what they are going for. I believe one of these here sold for that one or two weeks ago after a couple of days on the market. If you wait it out, use ebay, you might get a bit more.
Whatever you do, don't let others influence your decision.
Full disclosure: I wanted one of these but couldn't spend 500 on it.

You've got that part right. But you arguing it should be worth less than he says is no better or worse than arguing it should be worth more. In the end, the market dictates what it's worth. Actual sales, not opinions.

I genuinly think 250 GBP would be within the realm of possibility (a fair price) but 500 GBP also would be. I think you have your mind in the right place. Personally, I think 1000 GBP is whacked (and I don't trust the previous ebay result) but it could happen. I am looking forward to seeing how yours fares there.
Good luck.

To clear things up, I know for a fact that the one on eBay with the ยฃ1,000 price tag did not sell for anywhere near that amount.

One of the best features of EB is that you can list a sale and it records the actual amount agreed on eBay . I just recorded the ยฃ1000 it sold for ยฃ500 the previous was ยฃ400.

Lol this made me laugh (in a good way)
"Please post a photo of your inkjet of a photo taken by someone of a wall piece by another artist."
I own two Chalfant and Cooper pictures from the early years, they mean a lot to me.
Maybe if this was released in 10 years time, it could have been a classic image)
Anyhow Martha's work will always be sought after and relevant!

KIDS
Photographer Martha Cooperโs Street Play
Sculptor John Ahearn's Walton Avenue life casts
Friends and artistic collaborators John Ahearn and Martha Cooper capture the creative spirit of kids on the gritty streets of the Lower East Side and the Bronx
In hommage to Martha Cooper and her perfect 70's photo series Street Play, John Ahearn is presenting Walton Avenue Kids. In the 80's, Ahearn, in collaboration with Rigoberto Torres regularly used the sidewalk in front of his building as a life casting studio and a display of all the neighborhood portraits. This was especially exciting during summer Block Parties with DJs and crowds of people. Unlike most parts of NYC, many neighborhoods in the Bronx now have the same families as they did thirty years ago. In 2008, Walton had a reunion Block Party. John Ahearn set up casts from the 80's and life cast the cousin of his old friend Raymond Garcia. Martha Cooper was present to beautifully capture the mood. For the installation Walton Avenue Kids, all the 80's casts of kids (seen in context in Martha Cooper's photos) will be arranged at the Dorian Grey Gallery.
John Ahearn was born in Binghamton, New York in 1951 and lives and works in New York City. He was a founding member of Collaborative Projects, Inc. and co-organizer of the Times Square Show, 1980. John Ahearn's work alongside that of his long-time collaborator, Rigoberto Torres was the subject of a survey exhibition, South Bronx Hall of Fame, organized by the Contemporary Arts Center, Houston in 1991 which traveled to museums in Europe and North America. In the 1980's and 1990's, the artists executed several outdoor murals in the Bronx, New York and collaborated on public projects and exhibitions in Europe and North America. Between 2000 and 2002, John Ahearn completed a public project in Pan Chiao, Taiwan and between 2005 and 2006, Ahearn and Torres collaborated on two large scale wall murals at the Inhotim Centro de Arte Contemporanea in Brazil. In the fall of 2010, their work was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Aljira Center for Conetmporary Art in Newark. In May 2012, John Ahearn participated in the special projects section of the Frieze Art Fair on Randall's Island, where he presented a reconstruction of his legendary 1979 exhibition at Fashion Moda, South Bronx Hall of Fame.
In addition to numerous public works projects and museums in the US and abroad, John Ahearn's work is in the collections of Metroplitan Museum of Art, NY, The New York Historical Society, NY, Studio Museum in Harlem, NY and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden at The Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC.
From 1977-1980 Martha Cooper was a staff photographer on the New York Post. On her way back to the paper at the end of the day, she began driving through Alphabet City on the Lower East Side, looking for photos to use up the leftover film in her cameras. Her shots captured streets filled with freely roaming children immersed in creative play. These photos have been called some of the most exuberant and memorable photographic depictions of youth and ultimately lead to her documentation of graffiti and emerging hip hop.
Martha Cooper was born in Baltimore, Maryland and moved to New York City in 1975. She is a documentary photographer who has specialized in shooting urban vernacular art and architecture for over thirty-five years. Her books include Subway Art, a collaboration with Henry Chalfant, R.I.P.: Memorial Wall Art, Hip Hop Files 1980-1984, We B*Girlz, Street Play, New York State of Mind, Tag Town and Going Postal. Cooper's work has appeared in numerous magazines from National Geographic to Vibe. Recently Martha has been documenting street artists worldwide as well as shooting an on-going personal project comparing SoWeBo, a neighborhood in Southwest Baltimore to Soweto, South Africa.
