Mehdi Ghadyanloo 🇮🇷 Mural Painter • Iran • Art For Sale, by Guy Denning on Jan 24, 2019 20:59:38 GMT 1, My impression of his work there is that it's a direct challenge to the attendees.
Set fire to their Mercs, cut the line to their personal public financial subsidies, turn up en-masse with pitchforks, tag the crap out of the venue and environs and they might take some notice of that.
My impression of his work there is that it's a direct challenge to the attendees. Sorry to be cynical but my impression is that the attendees wouldn't give a flying phuq.

Mehdi Ghadyanloo 🇮🇷 Mural Painter • Iran • Art For Sale, by moron on Feb 3, 2019 19:03:56 GMT 1, Living under the harsh Iranian regime cannot be easy for any artists or creative free thinking individuals.
Similarly to people who made propaganda art under communist and other regimes they had to be careful and also could get their message across.
His murals in Iran have the very bland structures and people who do not smile could be a clever way of showing the bland lives people live in Iran.
This large mural shows a young girl with a balloon and a big needle where she is being surrounded by encroaching walls.
It could be symbolic of a young girl growing up in Iran, her hopes and dreams for her future are the balloon. Her innocence and hopes and dreams and future life that she imagines burst by the needle which is the Iranian regime and it's medieval laws. The walls closing in on her symbolic of being forced to live under the hard line sharia regime, where women are stoned and the government even punishes people for using the wrong size stones.

Mehdi Ghadyanloo 🇮🇷 Mural Painter • Iran • Art For Sale, by moron on Feb 28, 2019 23:09:47 GMT 1, It's a great painting. Although not based on Dali's 1930's artworks it has a similar feel and quality on a par with Dali.
It was also sold to benefit a great cause.
"the study for Mehdi Ghadyanloo’s recent commission at the 2019 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos and 100% of the sale proceeds will be applied to The Lotus Flower's ongoing work empowering refugee women to drive change in Europe and the Middle East"

At least in the US, the charitable deduction is only available to the extent that your payment exceeds the fair market value of the work. Are the rules different in the UK?
Unless there's some dramatic variance, the money to charity tactic seems less compelling than the many other ways used to inflate value.

As opposed to shredding stunts and PR promotions and connections with journos etc. Mehdi's art speaks for itself.

I think the price realised is not high considering the ongoing quality of the art and street paintings.

Framed with museum glass. Piece is 20 x 15cm framed 25 x 20cm.
The only ones i have seen were given to people that worked on the show so they are dedicated to each person, and signed.

I like the nice simple image, and although it's probably not worth much if someone wanted to treat it as an investment, I bet it sells for much more than a fiver.......even if I have to offer £10.

has to be at least 2 to 3 hundred. Maybe more in the right auction. I would imagine that if someone is an avid collector of an artist, they would be willing to pay more for something unique than for a print. With recent prints just shy of £1000, and with the editions being all pre-sold with little fanfare, I think it would be unwise to sell this quickly for the figures being thrown about here. To the right person this would certainly be worth more! |

That said, It’s an interesting piece and while his prints, etc go for quite a lot your piece isn’t very representational of his work so that must be considered when trying to put a price/value on it. It’s a shame you have to part with it since it was given to you after working with him. The forum is filled with real collectors who will make fair offers and despite what we think our collections are worth they will sell at the amount someone is willing to pay for them. Best of luck.

Tough to price and different for sure, id say thats in its favour though. Not much between a print and the 8k canvas. Certainly cant see how an original is going to be less than a print though. Its possibly staying where it is anyway though, no real interest it seems.
Dont really have to sell it, long story, but i dont really care about his work anymore. I was going to spend it on other stuff instead.

Wow! Are you serious that someone followed up expecting you to accept a 5-20 pound offer? Hilarious! I guess it takes all kinds. You’re right, generally speaking, that an original would never be less valuable than an original when it comes to work by an artist that is recognizable or representative of his/her work but when an artist goes way outside of “their area” so to speak it doesn’t always follow the general rule. An example is the Van Gogh flower HPMs that Lister did. They are practically originals and despite his documentary making his work explode they haven’t sold ($500 each) as if someone didn’t tell you they were his you wouldn’t know. I think you’re doing the right thing by hanging onto it if you think it’s hyper valuable and no one else does. Who knows, maybe he’ll be the next Banksy  Best. R
