Collective commissioning of emerging artists?, by caruso on Sept 5, 2017 8:11:27 GMT 1, This was initially a reply to a post by Earl Grey 2nd in the who to collect or not thread. I decided to post this as a new thread to get your thoughts on this and see is we can action it.
Maybe we could commission collectively in this forum. Emerging artists with a very low signed numbered run print. I'm thinking 10-25. Not originals but affordable for sure and if the artist had a breakthrough they will remember we sort of helped on the way. Good way to get first access to future releases, oh yes and own a pricey limited run.
I'd be up for it, surely there are enough members in this forum to get 10 people wanting some work from a given emerging artist. Instead of fighting in writing at times, we should use the fantastic power of leverage this forum can give us and be a driving force in the community.

Would be unlikely to go for it but would be worth a shot and members who can't secure his work normally would be in with a shout of securing one. I don't mind emailing his agent?

My fear on this one is that Pejac may have already emerged a bit too much! You don't know until you ask though! Good luck.

I think its a great idea, although in practice it may be quite difficult to achieve. Will be interesting to see which artists can be pulled in.

Collective commissioning of emerging artists?, by loother on Sept 5, 2017 12:40:15 GMT 1, I certainly think this is the kind of thing this forum would be good for, and I would be keen to participate, depending on the artist selected. Small-scale, small-run, easily framed and well priced editions by artists whose work I've seen on streets would have a very good chance of being hung. Pejac might be a bit optimistic, but would also be fantastic and there's no harm in asking. Generally I think this idea would work best with artists who don't really have a secondary market yet, allowing the forum to focus on patronage rather than profit.

20 odd people here got an Invader LED and no one is selling it. I think it says a lot about how committed this community is to art, if I were an artist I'd probably see this as an opportunity. I know Pejac is a long shot, but let's start high. The suggestion of Pejac was brilliant.
Further artists suggestions welcome.

Collective commissioning of emerging artists?, by caruso on Sept 5, 2017 12:45:27 GMT 1, Agreed. Personally if this worked I'd not sell a Pejac for the next 20 years and pass it on to my kids. Some prints are too previous to resale. I'm thinking long term. To be honest I wasn't thinking of Pekac, but why not. Any other artist suggestions maybe?
