Conor Harrington Drawing FS, by disappointed on Jul 6, 2017 16:46:16 GMT 1, I have decided that any new art purchases will be made only if I sell something I own. This is really to prevent me hoarding art and never finding the space to hang it as I have a bit of a problem on that front..
So, as I have seen a couple of things I am keen on acquiring and feel like a change this very fine drawing is up for sale.
It's an A3 piece executed in pencil on paper and is very nicely framed with non-reflective perspex. This was bought by myslef from Lazarides a little while prior to the Headless Heroes show at that gallery. There are multiple elements in this drawing that were later worked up into canvas pieces.
I have seen quite a few drawings by Conor and this, for me, is up there with the best of them. There were quite a lot of very sketchy drawings shown at Headless Heroes but this piece stands up as a fully formed piece in its own right. These days, drawings by Conor are rarely seen and rarely sold but they really demonstrate his mastery of a media that he is less associated with.
Given the scarcity of such works, and the quality of this piece, I don't think it unreasonable to suggest offers in excess of ยฃ6,500?
Thanks for looking..

I have been collecting Conor's work for a very long time and have seen pretty much all that has been offerered for sale so am not naive to the range of quality out there an am as well versed in his art as pretty much anyone on this forum. I am aware of maybe three or four drawings that have been offered for public sale that are of similar, fully finished, quality to this (and own one of those other similar quality drawings) l
I rate this drawing at a similar level to the better 'Morning Glory' paint studies, hence my valuation. There is absolutely no way I would sell it for less than what Conor's uninspiring prints of the last few years are selling for as this is a truly exceptional demonstration of his talent. If it doesn't sell to someone at my price then it stays on my walls and I'll continue to enjoy it as I have done for the last seven or eight years..

With all due respect, show me that image and I will show you an inferior drawing. This is not from a 'series', it was a unique piece sold before the headless heroes show, not one of the, mostly weak, sketches sold during the show.

Conor Harrington Drawing FS, by rodgro on Jul 9, 2017 3:58:14 GMT 1, I could be mistaken but I believe DranFan14 was trying to be helpful, but a PM might have been a better way to say he thought the drawing was overpriced and may have saved him a "with all due respect" schooling reply  The good news is that like EVERYTHING else here, it will sell if it's priced right and if it's not it won't. What we think our art is worth and what someone is willing to pay for it doesn't always match up. Doesn't hurt to try and like you said, if no one agrees with your price it stays on your wall and you keep enjoying it. I don't think anyone can argue that it's an amazing piece as it's truly gorgeous. Personally I've bought a bit much lately so I'm not a buyer at either the 6500 or 2500 range so I'll pipe down and wish the seller best of luck and hope the piece finds a good/deserving home.

He has been a long standing collector and I would trust his judgement in relation to this piece.
Also whoever buys this piece can be assured of the integrity of the seller and that any deal will be handled with due care and honesty.

The sketch pieces are not comparable with this but, even so, I'd like to see where they are selling for ยฃ2k.
Incidentally, the value, or otherwise, of this piece has zero influence on the value of CH's canvas work, abstract or otherwise. I have always found his pure abstract canvasses to be the least desirable of Conor's output.

Wow that's a Connor Harrington! I'd love that piece. The drawing is interesting clearly a sketch, not a finished composition. You can get finished pieces for less than ยฃ6.5k, not too different to this size. I think the one at the group show at stolen space (fairly) recently was under ยฃ5k.. and that's Stolen Space pricing.

I'll be polite but, to be honest, I'm getting a little tired of people undermining my sales thread with their uninformed, and unsubstantiated, price opinion. If you don't like it then just stroll on to something you do..
And, with all due respect, this absolutely is a finished composition rather than a sketch. You only need to look to the sketches shown at headless heroes to see the difference.
And the pricing of small works at stolenspace is not relevant to my valuation of this as they are such different works. I challenge you to find a drawing of this quality currently, or recently, for sale as that is what this piece should be rated against.

Interesting tone but I politely disagree. Others on here are informed and do share there knowledge with others. Thats the nature of a forum, no? Otherwise there's ebay and places like that.
Clearly If it was a finished composition or piece it would not be angled like that on the page, and then incorporated differently into finished pieces that are much more progressed. Also it would not have been torn from a sketch book and left like that like that. It's a preparatory sketch sold as much.
But anyway nice drawing if you want an insight into his process in your collection and not worried for value.
Good luck with the sale.

Originals are very hard to come by regardless of their format.
Sometimes, especially with works by Conor, it's more about availability than cost.

I'm probably remembering the initial estimate or pricing from stolen. It's normal for charity auctions to go off the scale by several plus multiples in fairnesss.

The guide price from a gallery for a completed - much better original in oils at ยฃ5k only 2months ago. I'd say that's pretty good comparison.
It's upto you what you pay, obviously. Enjoy!

If I see a Banksy GWB at auction with an estimate of 20k and it goes for 50K, is it worth 50K, or 20K because that's what the pre-auction estimate was?

The guide price was pretty fair actually, not all auctions are priced that way you describe. Especially for charity auctions. Again considering other prices I've seen on a per square inch basis I felt it was fair. It's only because it's a charity sale it made The estimate multiple it did.
Anyway good luck not needed there's a few users here clearly interested. Enjoy whoever snaps it up.

The good news is that like EVERYTHING else here, it will sell if it's priced right and if it's not it won't. What we think our art is worth and what someone is willing to pay for it doesn't always match up.

Lovely drawing.
