Just for anyone who hasn’t cottoned on bobs Schtick is passing on dud information and laughing at this forum and the people who use it, once or twice at the beginning it was funny, then it was dull, now it’s just spiteful. I would suggest ignoring as much as possible.

Anonymity breeds pricks unfortunately. Thanks for the heads up.

I agree, she has become what she despised.

Professor of drawing at the Royal Academy what a joke. It shows how the people running the RA and curators are so far up the arseholes of the big investors dealers and auction houses.

I understand that you're thinking critically and love to share your thoughts with the forum, but I just don't understand your aim. Are you being a good citizen to save members from purchasing artwork that you deem as fraudulent and simple within a corrupt system? How do you want these members to respond to the information you're providing? Are you willing to share artists and artworks that you believe are worthy? I just don't see what the point is and why you continue to provide the same information repeatedly. Is this what trolling looks like?

Is that while they wait for the decision makers of Heni to come back from holiday? What could possibly make their process take 2 weeks? Laughable that people are prepared to accept that.

Agreed. IMO the concept of these being first come first served is dubious for that exact reason. 

Now you're being obtuse

 No he is genuine (Laolu) and he called Hirst out publicly for good reason. The Hirst sculpture is too close a copy of the African Yoruba bronze which is part of the artists cultural heritage.

 He writes "it’s no longer guns, you're using your status to steal what’s not yours and claim it as your own original art and ideas and profit off it."

 and he is right.  Hirst is practicing a form of artistic colonialism, stealing what he wants from artists and cultural artefacts and just branding his own name on it. It's lazy it is unimaginative and it is unintelligent. Hirst got well schooled by Saatchi in how to sell anything using the media and people in on it to create positive media stories.

As far as Hirst is concerned it's all about the money and all about making money.

  It's a good enough racket in getting in with people running hedge funds and getting them to buy the pieces Hirst had knocked out by assistants in some sort of production line. Spin paintings and spot paintings and diamonds and cocaine dead sheep and cows and a pickled shark big statues copied from small statues by other people hyped up promoted as brand Hirst by uber mega big galleries and dealers. Yes it's all smoke and mirrors cleverly done by a group working together to get the very wealthy to part with their money.

They think they are buying into something special something that puts them above the little people. Oh look dahling look look at my Worhole. Look at my Hirst it's all the same. The image is not important or how it's made, it's the whole pretence that these buyers believe in. 

The little people can have the crumbs but they can never be like us and we will never let them join our clique.

    I might be odd in that I see the art not the person who made it. I don't care if the art is by some famous artists selling for lots or by some unknown selling for coppers. I don't get why people don't like critique of Hirsts methods and his end product, he said himself it's all about the money and he doesn't give a fuck about the artists or others he ahs stolen from or the people who buy his spot paintings for big money.

 For me the best collections have been built up over teh years by the people with a good eye rather than a good wallet.

For sure people buy latest releases because they see £ signs and how much profit they can make in the short term. The people buying these latest Hirst prints for re selling for a profit at auction are proof positive that in reality that is all that Hirst is, a time share condo for wig wearing old men with fake tans and wearing Lovejoy thongs on the beach..

 Buyers forget that the wealthy who have bought spot paintings for very high prices have seen the value of these paintings drop dramatically. They don't care as they don't need to sell and don't need the money.

    I'm the first person to dismiss accusations of cultural appropriation as pseudo anti white privelidge but in the case of Laolu and what he has to say about the Yoruba bronzes and Hirst, I agree with him 100%

All pieces are only sold via the phone or email if you have a non-gmail address.

Looks awesome! Makes me even more proud of my purchase. Will have to take the time to see them at the Serpentine.

Sorry I think this whole background check thing is complete nonsense. We’re supposed to believe they are cross-referencing every previous sale of any Heni edition through all the auction houses globally before they sell you one. They’re not.

Seeing that photo of the H4 makes me wish they didn't have a limit of 1.

Posterbob, why do you post nonsense like this?  It is obviously complete garbage.  

Or are you being sarcastic or something???

email editions@tate.org.uk or Heni to get an application form, you can number preference 1-8.

It may take a day or 2 to get the application form....

Same those 2 we're my favourite
