I'd agree with this, he's taken something common and repositioned it in one's mind as art. The painting skills and application seem to call in references of some of the modernists from the 50's and 60's to me, of which the large size of his pieces is necessary to convey. While this would seem a simple thought that I'd probably need to think a bit more on it's almost as if Rothko meets Warhol, with some of the verbal wit of Holzer thrown in. Which while possibly a thought way off base, is none the less a thought that would be a starting point for conversation, which is often a by-product of strong art. We might not get the art, some don't get many of the modernists in museums but that doesn't make them weak or hyped.

Clearly this doesn't have the genius in Rothko or the celebrity with Warhol- or a place in history like either. And Witt is cheap theses days, especially with social media. Nobodies really explained what it's good for apart from the nostalgia of old books. Old books satisfy that so much better don't you think? Just buy a good book, so much more to be mined from one of those than this drivel.
It is possible that you have a point, however trying to make a point with words/phrases such as piss / drivel / lol seems to shut down the discussion. While Rothko may have genius it took some time for it to be shown (and in other threads regarding him there are as many that don't get / don't care for him) and Warhol had celebrity but he sought that and again it took time to achieve that - however my comment would be that one might find threads of past artists in Miller's work, which would elevate him above the bookstore thoughts. There are Miller fans that on this thread and other Miller threads have taken the time to expand on what Miller means to them, and as he has an elevated profile it would be easy to research his artist statement and critical pieces on him to substantiate your point of view.

Harland Miller Show, by trapnel1 on Apr 25, 2016 19:57:30 GMT 1, Several members have made a pretty good attempt at explaining what HM's work means to them (which is a considerable advance from the like it / don't which characterises a lot of other threads). I have thousands (literally) of old books, and my HMs complement them. Not everyone would think the same - but I'm the one who looks at them every day! Luckily there's plenty of art out there and all tastes can be accommodated.......

Just to be clear, piss is not a word I used. And drivel is not a swear word, if it is its a very polite one. It's the internet, loosen up. Sorry if I offended but was genuinely interested to glean why so this artist is so hyped. Maybe one day it'll click.. Maybe lol

Harland Miller Show, by Matt on Apr 25, 2016 20:13:09 GMT 1, onetwothree I really don't think the guy is hyped in any way. He has been around longer than many artists discussed on here, seems to be doing fine in his career regardless of what people on here think, has a large public showing up to his shows, sells international auctions regularly, and his tiered pricing (which i hate) seems to be working for him on his cheaper output
To echo Hairbland , that you do not appreciate his art is fine, and would actually make for an interesting read if you put more substance in explaining what you don't like, the same way people here have tried to explain what they find in his stuff
Honestly there is a lot to be discussed here rather than the prices of prints, or the vacuous comparison to totally unrelated artists

I don't dislike, but don't get what makes it SO good? Didn't realise such a following, and he must be doing sething right becuase he ain't for the flippers ha. Still a 'meh' from me though.

Harland Miller Show, by e3massive on Apr 25, 2016 22:05:39 GMT 1, Glad the debate is carrying on here. I for one would not spend 65+k on a piece of art, his originals although massive are a silly price. That would be for a porsche ?. But his prints, ok I know also not cheap but they are cool. For info I rang the gallery on Friday and there were at number 6 of the print, don't know if that has increased now and is +10, but it won't be for me on this occasion.

Sorry, your post of 6 hours ago using lol also uses the word piss. It's not about swear words, dude - I live in Brooklyn - it's about being able to communicate.

Ah I see now. Look I said already I didn't mean to offend. What is your problem? 'Taking the piss' not a word, it's a phrase, used commonly in English, in England. You don't use it in Brooklyn. So what. Learn your own language and get off my back?

Obviously my comments have gone over your head rather easily, which in course weakens your original point of view if achieved with so little effort. A quick Google search will enlighten you to what Miller is doing as the art world sees it and will render your bookstore thoughts as uneducated. That said, it's cool if it doesn't float your boat. There's a little "Brooklyn" for ya.

Harland Miller Show, by mj on Apr 29, 2016 23:00:26 GMT 1, I was there today for brunch and the private preview and it was amazing, the gallery is massive and the big works ( 3m high ) looked super in that space. Harland was super nice as always and it was great to get the meaning/inside joke for many of the titles on his works. If only I could get this photo sharing bussiness, may try again tomorrow.

Harland Miller Show, by charliem on May 17, 2016 9:12:24 GMT 1, That's a big jump in price. Reserved 1 at the original price and just managed to scrap the money together on the last day of holding. Not printed yet have to wait 5/6 weeks. Really looking forward to this one.

Daniel Silk โข The number or Boards and Threads continues to fall as we simplify the layout of the forum.
Daniel Silk โข I hear a lot of Artists complaining about Instagram in the past year, how it used to be a good tool for Artists, but it's not good anymore, is that true?
anyaart โข For Brett Kern fans, I noticed there is a spinosaurus for sale on E-Bay. It's a limited edition, one of only 60 made. This is the rarest of his dinosaurs. I am not the seller. I already have the same dino purchased in 2016. I've never seen one up for sale
Daniel Silk โข Apology โข Sorry I have been offline this past few weeks, due to a very bad Fever. I'm slowly getting better, step by step, and catching up with things here on the forum on the days I'm well enough. Thank you for your understanding.
Boy Wonder โข I read that they were more or less nicked the same day they went up. Loads of fakes exist.
milou2 โข Would love to see any photos of Banksy's first exhibition at the Severnshed in Bristol (2000). Who was there?*
jirr โข Hi all, over here in the states. Pandemic put me out of business, need to sell this asap. Please send offers thanks so much
matgab โข Steven Harrington - Gotcha first ed for sale.
1nkling โข I can't help but think that a more reasonable tier for people who just want to support the work you guys do would raise more income. Then other tiers for those that want specialist benefits.
1nkling โข As soon as I saw the heading for the email I thought 'Oh yeah, I use that place a lot. I'd happily support it'. Not at ยฃ40 a month though. I have a paid sub for a Formula 1 site I use that is very active. They have a high uptake on subs at ยฃ12 a year.
1nkling โข Pricing on the new supporters sub seems a bit poorly thought out. ยฃ40 a month to have a pinned sale thread being the only listed benefit?
Daniel Silk โข The forum now has more than half the number of Boards than it had a year ago! As we work towards simplifying the layout.
ashj52 โข Hi everyone; does anyone know where I may be able to find a George condo prism print? Any guidance on price would also be much appreciated! I contacted AA, they said they cannot disclose whether there will be any further drops this year.
?. But his prints, ok I know also not cheap but they are cool.
