Thoughts on Sandra Chevrier x Martin Whatson, by pr.yu on Aug 5, 2017 19:18:18 GMT 1, I think you mean rancour. I CAN HAS AUTHORITY? So much rancor over something so subjective. Like you're all the definitive authority on skill and good taste. If you dont like it, no need to be so angry about it. Most urban art bought and sold and hailed on here doesn't take a ton of talent; it takes ingenuity and a sense of mindfulness of the times. Plus, there's a lot of schtick, too, to make someone popular. That goes for most all of contemporary art as well. If you don't like them, I can send you my address and you can mail the ones you all have in your flat files to me. Apparently I'd be happier than you to have them.
No I meant rancor -- one of the benefits of winning our independence was not putting that stupid "u" in all our wourds.

Thoughts on Sandra Chevrier x Martin Whatson, by thisismyusername on Aug 5, 2017 19:18:23 GMT 1, The demand for this one seems to be coming from Scandinavia. They love it. Over there it's all the rage for living rooms to have light grey paint, 'kinfolk' books on a side table and this print on the wall. They paste it all over insta - more than the Brits love posting pics of avocados. The bit about kinfolk is spot on though

Thoughts on Sandra Chevrier x Martin Whatson, by brycepen on Aug 5, 2017 20:07:02 GMT 1, It's not the abundance of prints it's the abundance of s**t. There is zero quality control in his releases. If he cut it down to say four relevant pieces per year he'd be an absolute superstar. Abundance of prints sure has hurt that Fairey guy. He sure disappeared and has become irrelevant.
I have to agree and say that almost everything fairey releases mostly sucks and also seems like a cash grab. He's relevant now, but releasing a hundred shit prints a year is going to catch up to him (or it should, if the art world has any shred of integrity left in it).

No one listens though and it's not like I can actually have a conversation here about the value of a signature given the vested interest in unsigned reproductions.

No one will ever accuse you of being anything but definitive:
Unsigned prints are worthless
Whatson is pathetic
Chevrier is a joke
No wiggle room there. Got it.

Fair enough other than the worthless paper bit. I guess it's the COA which is valuable. But I do get your point.

Thoughts on Sandra Chevrier x Martin Whatson, by Reader on Aug 6, 2017 11:34:43 GMT 1, I guarantee both will have a looong and successful career, they've broken away from the maximum 3k budgets where most of us operate and are into a world of interiors and art, not critically acclaimed by self appointed "experts" perhaps. But beautiful and colourful things will always win out. The idea that you need, or artists want, more than one solid idea they can develop over many years is a myth. Painting isn't a "trick", they've both become a lot more technically accomplished over the years and I've never met two artists more dedicated to their "careers", you can bet they'll be around and devloping a loooong time after most others have moved on. Have a long look at their careers, early work compared to later work, who represents and buys them...they're pretty much established now, and barring any disasterous decisions, their fan base will grow and grow. As will their prices. In my opinion. How long will Chevrier continue to grow when there's coffee mug editions etc, and an abundance of prints. At at certain point it's going to have a negative effect, the question is if it'll have a negative effect on her as an artist or if it'll increase the value on the older stuff That's like saying a band releasing a T-Shirt will affect the next album. I'm not aware of limited edition Coffee Mugs, post cards, fridge magnets or having available print editions having a negative impact on an artists career. I imagine the evidence points in the other direction.

In my mind, Chevrier is completely flogging a dead horse, has been milking it for years.
That said, I still do like the occasional Chevrier piece, just not this one

Yeah, most artists these days seem to put increasing the values and controls of limited editions above anything else.

Market value, that was also my point in regards to Chevrier and the timed releases, the coffee mugs etc.
Banksys popularity is easy to measure, when even foreign papers are running it as front page news on their websites that his identity might possibly be revealed, it's because they know their average reader will press the link..My take on it is that he'd make easy money from my far fetched example, but it would ruin the market value on the prints, not to mention that many would be less than interested in collecting something that's become mainstream.
Nothing like having a ยฃ20k print on your wall and people asking if you got it off the local Ikea, yeah, that'll do wonders.
