Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by acortellese on Dec 17, 2018 10:50:43 GMT 1, YES samo I didn't expect it was that cheap, good for me Lucky I was stuck with that 2000€ stupid limit... I asked them to move it to 4000€ and they replied to me 4 days later, the night before the auction, the only time I couldn't check my e-mails. Would have battled with you a bit. I was the underbidder at 1,900... And I was the underbidder at 1800 but could not join live as expected ... still I wouldnt had pushed so high as other mentioned.
BLU has interest, nevertheless we are all here!

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by kranio23 on Dec 20, 2018 18:53:00 GMT 1, Hi guys, i'm a collector of Blu as said in my first presentation post.
I own three prints, but seems I haven't seen any about "Il Nulla" (The Void) print.
Anyone can give a rough estimate of the price for that print? You can see it here: studiocromie.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/photogallery_foto_202_b.jpg
Cheers!

There are quite some Blu fans over here so you have found the right place. Now about the value of the Blu - Il Nulla print, one sold recently at Chiswick Auctions for £350. So I would say roughly somewhere around €400. Enjoy your stay on the Forums.

For less than 500 euros anything from BLU seems a bargain to me anyway.
Comparing the limited edition multiples number available in total and the strict amount of og BLU drawings, its prices "should" be higher than every other "similar" artist.

For less than 500 euros anything from BLU seems a bargain to me anyway. Comparing the limited edition multiples number available in total and the strict amount of og BLU drawings, its prices "should" be higher than every other "similar" artist. agreed (Blu's work is currently undervalued in the market - particularly given how important and singular he is as an artist, and how little collectible work exists). as with all art, it ends up being what people are willing to pay for it, what people are willing to sell it for, and where the sale happens. secondary market sellers of Blu who put it in their web stores will charge at least 1k-2k for any of the limited edition Blu prints (and more for the iconic/mural related/more satisfying prints), they will wait to sell it (and not respond to low ball offers), and eventually it seems like the work sells (last i checked i could not find anything available anywhere) and then there is even less Blu work on the market, so the next time the prices might be higher. i've seen posts on these boards suggesting those prices were crazy (by folks who like Blu but i guess want to buy the work for less) and those tend to influence others to some degree. for individuals (like those of us on this board without active shops), there is no easy way to sell Blu. ebay & the web are particularly hard to search for Blu (given how many other things come up when searching for blu) and is dependent on who is looking when. even with artists with established markets and followers, i've seen works sell for under $1000 on ebay while shops sell the same work for $3500 (and some art galleries list it for $7500). small auctions can miss many potential buyers (as we saw with the recent Demos UV, there were multiple buyers interested in the work who would have gone higher but failed to due to issues with the auction or timing). eventually this should sort and it is not unique to Blu (though his avoiding the market makes his market more difficult to sort).

My framer did a bang up job in “flattening” out the “fold lines” on the poster...to be honest, it turned out much better than I expected! Thanks for the kind words, @coach 🙏🏼

I would say so! Had me wondering if you’d managed to pick up a special unfolded version.

in 2018, when i was trying to figure out the value of the original drawings, i was told that "The smaller sketch book covers have quite an established market ranging from £8-12.5k depending on image" and that is consistent with what i have seen/heard since (but i have no hard data and would love to hear from others on this as well).

I’m sure you’ve seen the one on the ‘Bay? It’s been sitting at $5,250.00 USD OBO for some time. No idea how much the seller is willing to negotiate but worth a shot! Good luck.

So I would not let me slip pieces like "il nulla" at 350£ and ....if someone want to sell "Gaza strip" let me know! many thanks Matteo
