Killer piece!

This a level of technical talent that leaves you speechless. No matter the subject, formidable.

These are insane in the flesh - beauty this one too!

My god that’s a great piece! He’s on a different level technically.

It’s wild to me that someone could have this for the same price as a Kaws print (and I like Kaws!). I only say Kaws because he’s the first artist that came to mind with prints in this same ballpark, but for that matter really any print vs an original of this caliber.

Good luck on the sale!

Always the same snide comments when a beautiful Lucas piece is posted.

I'm sure Kaws spent a lot of time sculpting his wooden sculptures personally and Hirst agonised over getting all those original pieces completed by hand himself.

What does it matter if Jeff Koons had a factory create his work on his behalf or he done it himself?
Do we not now all accept that Banksy is a group machine?

He was the conceptual artist and the work produced is a vision of his creativity. Whether he painted it himself or Banksy hand pulled the screen prints he produced himself is neither here nor there.

Artists are brands, just like any other. Louis Vuitton manufactures much of it's leather wear in the USA, does that mean it is not an authentic French brand?

Bottom line for me is, it doesn't matter a diddly shit where it's made or by who. It's an incredible canvas both in painting technique and conceptual design. Period.

Hang that ball in your space and watch people dribble with excitement.

Admittedly my Lucas Price knowledge is limited to what’s available pubclicly online, but he does have an MFA from the Royal Academy, and is known to be a proficient painter, no? I would hope that someone who gets an MFA from RA would know their way around a canvas. Is it well known that Price doesn’t create his works with his own hand? Not asking rhetorically, I just can’t find anything to indicate that he has other people doing the actual work.

I appreciate your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it. 

I feel that concept, whether groundbreaking or not (which itself is a matter of opinion) should not be the threshold that governs whether it is acceptable for an artist to have assistance on his works.

The most prolific and famous artists in the world, even as far back as Da Vinci, had scores of artists working on their pieces, which they oversaw and contributed to where necessary.

Now I'm not comparing Mr Price to Da Vinci, in any respect, however I am saying that he is entitled to, as with any artist, assistance or contribution from any third party. Whether it be the screen printer pulling the screens, the person spraying an already cut stencil, or the sculptor who creates an item based on the artists concept.

These are of course my opinions, I just find it impossible to draw a line of inference on which artists can and can not have any assistance with their works, the measure of that assistance and medium.

Whether an artist is happy to be regarded as a brand or not i'm not sure, but what I do know is that if a product is created under a repeated name or bears a regular mark, it is in fact regarded as a brand. An individual becomes a brand in this respect, whether they choose to or not.

Just my 2cents on the matter. Either way, the pieces under the Lucas 'brand' are outstanding and breathtaking to look at in person. Those of you who have had that pleasure I'm sure will agree.

I think all of these comments have some truth to them. The problem is they are contradictory. And that's the issue with the art world.

Cool. So, just to double check - this minor league artist came up with the concept of a basketball Avec smiley  face on a BIG canvas, paid a fella in China minimum Renminbi, and now charging maximum dollari? And the justification is minor artists like da Vinci and Warhol involved other people? Bwahahahahaah! You people make me nervous walking the streets.
