Recommended Art Books, by Acme Thunderer on Aug 27, 2024 22:01:00 GMT 1, What a great idea for those who own a drawingโฆ I know little about Russell Herron or his process. Regarding these cardboard portraits, is it correct to assume they are drawings of actual bits of cardboard that were initially cut, torn and scribbled on by the artist himself? If so, it would be interesting to hear whether He rron always retains the original cardboard pieces for himself, or if any of them have ever been sold to accompany and complement their corresponding drawings. Thatโs correct that these are drawings of actual bits of cardboard he has created. However, the original cardboard pieces are destroyed and none are available with the drawings. He had sold some cardboard heads separately, but these were never used for drawings.

Thank you for the helpful confirmation.
Somewhat of a shame, in my view.
I do respect the rigour and purity of concept (similar to, "Either the NFT or the original. You can choose one or the other, but not both.").
At the same time, no doubt many of Herron's collectors would have loved the opportunity to hang side-by-side (a) an original cardboard piece, along with (b) its corresponding drawing.

Completely agree - Russell did make me a similar companion in cardboard to go with my drawing but it was a couple of years after. Would have been nice to have the original the drawing was based on.

โThe original cardboard models for the drawings are always destroyed so that the drawing exists as its own resolved product.โ

Interesting point that Met, hadn't previously considered the 'original' that the drawing based on?
That said, enjoy how each drawing differs, and 'unique' as such, hopefully this will be illustrated in the book of all the portraits.
You also have the option to 'name' each portrait if you buy one of them, so for me enhances the personalization?
I'm a bit fan of these pieces, and own a couple, always fascinated by the detail, and the skill involved, real items of interest.

Recommended Art Books, by mcgill14 on Aug 30, 2024 16:41:41 GMT 1, I have a copy of Grafitti Kings for sale. ยฃ10 plus postage. Feel free to get in touch.
Graffiti Kings is the definitive book on New York's subway graffiti movement, an unprecedented creative explosion that occurred across the five boroughs during the 1970s. This rare, firsthand account of the birth of this movement is the first and only graffiti book to reveal what happened behind the scenes when writers put their lives on the line to grab a piece of fame from a faceless urban landscape.Through personal interviews and over 275 full-color, previously unpublished photographs, the colorful origins of subway graffiti are brought to life. Legends such as Taki 183, Blade 1, Phase 2, and Co-Co 144, as well as the city officials who saw the writers as public menaces and their art as vandalism, give accounts of everyday struggles, each full of new advancements, excitement, and risk. Although author and photographer Jack Stewart maintained a low profile at the time, his work is now a graffiti-world legend: rumored to exist, seldom seen, a near-equivalent to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Alongside archival photographs of everything from vibrant bubble-letter and 3-D pieces to the Holy Grail, the whole-train pieces, are maps, images, and ephemera that help fill out the complete story. A celebration in words and pictures of graffiti's golden age, Graffiti Kings is a book sure to be coveted by those fascinated and inspired by this uniquely American urban art form.

The softcover edition has the same contents of course, and is much easier to find. And a lot cheaper too, around 20-45 euro.
