Banksy โข Weston Super Mare Print, by bollockchops on Jun 24, 2007 9:50:33 GMT 1, anyone know how expensive prints can get? ie. from other artists? what's the dearest Warhol print for example? or Hirst?
A Warhol screenprint of Maryilyn went for ยฃ14.1million earlier this year.
It cost $300 (about ยฃ150) at one of Warhol's solo shows and was auctioned by the person who originally bought it.

Banksy โข Weston Super Mare Print, by jam on Jun 24, 2007 10:11:12 GMT 1, I friend of mine owns an art gallery in NY. She has been collecting art for years, since the late 60s. She told me about some of the original Warhols they owned/own and what they paid for them. Its mad! She has an original Mao silkscreen thats large, it was only 5k in 1974... an original suite of 10 prints from the Marilyns all signed and numbered were $500 each... and many other similar memories of prices paid. She jokes about how she though it was crazy to pay that much back then and that she thought she would never break even if she needed to sell anything, but his prices kept going up and up as more people learned about him. Of course, there is also a number of artists that didn't last that she has sunk thousands in... you just never know.
Her key to collecting just as many people on here say, is to buy what you love at a price you can live with, then you can't go wrong!

thats not quite true, you can take warhols to people who look after his estate and if there not considerd to be signed by him the stamp strait through the middle, like the cauty rejects

(then when you enquire they are out of stock), then they keep the prices of unsigned at reasonable levels just to make the unsigned look more attractive.... its marketing... the site i remeber is union gallery work this way but forgot the web address.

just the concept of an "amusement" arcade sends a shiver down my spine.
