Swoon ๐บ๐ธ Contemporary Art โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by mose on Mar 26, 2008 1:02:12 GMT 1, yea that one is beautiful too. Lil too rich for my blood though. How much is it? Is it over $3,000USD?
Looking at it, and knowing some Swoon prices(but deferring to Scott who is the Swoon master), I'd say around $12K.

That is pretty much the top end of her work price wise. Although the piece you posted above, I would imagine today to be quite a bit more than that.

20K +
its at a different level
Hand Painted and huge. Most importlantly, composition and setting/ambiance imo makes it one of her absolute best pieces.

What's even scarier is that the Museum UV-plexi for it would be even more expensive than the piece itself.

Swoon ๐บ๐ธ Contemporary Art โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by darjeeling on Mar 26, 2008 3:12:09 GMT 1, It's really interesting that swoon has SO much critical acclaim, produces incredible work of intricate detail which challenges and provokes, is genuinely original, is collected by museums and yet in this fickle street art world we inhabit gets barely a mention...
Funny that those who gain such critical acclaim can't garner much "real world" attention by street art fans or on ebay??? But it's not surprising either really.
Her work is technically proficient, she does portraits of these "hard up" people โ the kind of stories behind which are easy to play up to people and critics emotions and so easy to praise.
...but, personally are also the kind of work and subject matter which I have absolutely no emotional attachment to in the least. Absolutely doesn't press a single button inside me. The style is interesting but just not that special to me. And te subject matter? I don't really care to have these hard up folk on my wall.

Her new work kind of reminds me of Mode2 without so much feeling or emotion.
It's never made me want to own one.
Armstrock's energy and style feels like it could easily overtake her recent work.
and no I don't own or sell and Armstrock work.

See that's where we differ. That is why I love swoon. But her art is bound to provoke your reaction from many. That's why I said in my earlier post that a lot of people find her art uncomfortable. Maybe it wants us to challenge ourself a bit more than we want to be challenged.

I look at the pictures on this thread and other Swoon pictures and they don't make me uncomfortable in the slightest, nor do I find them challenging for that matter... Again, I appreciate she has technical skills but there is nothing in them that says anything to me. I agree with Barry Cilit, if I wanted something like this (although I can't see it) I'd go for Armsrock.

I do tend to agree about Swoon unfortunately. I can appreciate her abilities, but the work doesn't really resonate with me that strongly.
I'd say though that in that lino-cut style, Gaia and Elbow-Toe are the ones to watch. Elbow-Toe's new work is absolutely off the hook......

It is up to you how you read them. You might just see an old lady or you see a person that lives on the street and fights every day for her survival because she couldn't keep up with the corporate world.

Agree with you there Pez, but even though it's a small edition it's quite pricey which has probably put quite a few off to start with. you've got to be sure you like if you're going to spend GBP 600 straight up, it's certainly not going to be for the casual collector looking for an investment.
I'd like to buy argentina, to go with my others but Mrs DM wants a dish washer first and i'm under the thumb at the mo boo hoo
