I will admit they're impressive, but why? Why would you want something the artist had no say in and no collaboration of at all? These are pure money grabs by an estate, with no more merit than a skate deck from a creative standpoint from the same estate Sure, the prints are top notch, but they haven't been touched or even given the blessing from the actual artist of the work. It's like buying something they could have despised. They would be very nice pieces of memorabilia for a reasonable price, but demanding 50k plus for something like this just seems absurd to me. I would rather buy a signed book for 3500 where the artist himself touched.

I did own the signed book that contained this drawing and a bunch of others that I think are better. I sold it last year, but took hi-res photos of each page before I sold it so I can flip through it virtually if I want to revisit the work.

Having said that greed definitely plays a part. Some of these living Artist limited releases are greedy too.

I agree that they have no historical value whatsoever but uninformed buyers want them. Make some money and let the twit buyer deal with it when the market crashes.

Or is it just that this buyer is asking 20K more than he/she paid for it? This logic doesnโt seem to apply for some artists, one in particular. Not sure why people feel the need to do this to SOME sale threads but others doing literally exactly the same thing it seems to be fine. Anyway, best of luck with the sale.

It reminds me more of bit coin than art. (They're worth the price anyone is willing to pay!)

Makes sense, but I think there is a big assumption by some that the artistโs estate is doing something against their wishes, etc to validate the posts. I personally donโt think quality should be an issue for anyone with regard to these prints as they are being printed by arguably one of the finest print houses in existence. I just think itโs funny that some people think that buying an unsigned print by someone who canโt sign it as they have passed away, but yet itโs ok to buy a print by a living artist who chooses not to sign a print. I think itโs simply a matter of being able to convince ourselves of things when itโs convenient and not when itโs not.

Jean-Michel Basquiat ๐บ๐ธ Brooklyn, New York โข Graffiti Art , by bullysonzx10r on Feb 14, 2019 3:52:49 GMT 1, I had a chance to buy "Head" by the basquiat Estate in 2006 for $25K USD. I didn't have anywhere near the cash needed at the time.
The same Gallery has one available today for $100K USD.
I mean, I actually love that image, and I really enjoy the life and work of Basquiat, so while it wasn't "His vision" for the print, I'd still definitely display that piece proudly considering that his heart and soul went into painting that original image.
