Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by jamesreeve5 on Jan 17, 2008 1:01:55 GMT 1, I doubt it. He's produced a few prints in all his years. He doesn't sell stickers and the galleries almost ALWAYS only his work in installations, styarting around $30k. At the "Easy Tonto" exhibition at Modern art gallery in Hackney a couple of years ago there were small screen prints for sale (Unsigned and in the form of his obscure bright coloured chequered graphic) so maybe.... Just maybe there will be something affordable. I guess you never know.
haha... good luck, but don't hold your breath of course!

Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by Macdeee on Jan 21, 2008 23:07:12 GMT 1, Just got back from the exhibition at the Baltic centre... What a trip... 5 hours drive there and 6 hours drive back. But well worth it.
The exhibition is great (Photos tommorow)... Plus I met Mr Mcgee and what a top bloke!!! We swapped stickers (Yes... I got a bunch of Twist stickers) and he drew and tagged all over two pages of my black book and even swapped adresses with me to do some zine swapping! He was so nice and had loads of time to chat to me about graffiti, zines (He seemed to like Very Nearly Almost!!!) and other stuff.
SO worth all that driving!

Definitely looking forward to your pics tomorrow? Did you see anything for sale there? If yes, what were some examples and prices? Thanks man!

Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by Macdeee on Jan 22, 2008 11:39:40 GMT 1, Hi DKLA.... No prices. I think none of its for sale. I could be wrong. I just got the impression it was a collection rather than a show. Still worth while to visit... Plus in the shop they have a great selection of Barry Mcgee books as well as other street art publications. I picked up a few of Mcgee's older books and the Street Market book. Overall well worth the visit.
Pics later if I can.

I spoke to him at the "Media preview" (There was a newspaper photographer and a camera man there) after that was finished he was heading up to Scotland that afternoon, then down to London and home to SF. So he is not around for long I dont think.

Sham69, did you go to the Spank The Monkey exhibition last year. I didn't get chance but have been reliably informed by many that did that it was a bit of a let down. Newcastle is certainly trying to embrace the 'scene' (for want of a better word). Some great work on the streets

I find his shows great, because its like a mix of raw graffiti, video instalations, junk instalations. "tape paintings", drawings, charachters, photos and randomness. Its a 3D zine!
A small space (Smaller than being able to walk through a whole van into the exhibition) but well worth a visit in my opinion.

The other guy by all accounts is 'Amaze'.
If you get a chance check out the Beautiful Losers book. Loads of great stuff in there.
I went to the Spank The Monkey Show and to be honest thought it was good, loads of great work all in one place. I've heard a lot of people say they were disappointed. The stuff on the streets was quality too.
Faile, Obey, McGee et al all in one place, what more do people want?

Barry McGee ๐บ๐ธ Mission School Art Movement, by James Smith 77 on Jan 24, 2008 4:19:57 GMT 1, A few times a year his stuff comes up affordable. I've been collecting his stuff for years and now have a mini installation ( about 10 pieces). You basically have to be viligant and everytime he has an exhibition send an email to the curator of the museum asking if individual works are available. Even though 98% of the time his works only sell as an installation, 2% of the time he'll give or provide a couple works for the museum to sell. So be viligant fellas. I think Barry is one artist in it for the long hall. Two years ago his bottles were selling for 2500 now they are pushing 10,000. He has constant museum exhibitions and is colected by MAJOR collectors/museums. His stuff is sorta underrated. I think if the economy crashes, you'll see 99% of the artists out there disappear. When the smoke settles it will be Barry, Banksy, Faile, Neate, Parla. All these guys have broken new ground and are so incredibly unique. No secret.
