The way to go I’d say

Thierry is a fundamental and unique artist, with a very important trajectory and history, in addition to having a unique style in the history of art. It will enter museums and great collections, it is one of the fathers of urban art and a symbol of the New Europe. Watch the prices when it enters Japan and China, it is going to have an impressive global demand, this is nothing. I am very happy for him. World artist.

Someone took a quote directly from Thierry regarding Asian markets and posted here

Thierry always had loyal art collectors based in Japan. If I remember correctly there is even a Japanese book about his art which was made back in the 90s. 

From the same team that have apparently been trying to push pieces to existing collectors with massively inflated prices? Do you think they possibly have a vested interest in creating a narrative of huge worldwide demand?

For those who were blind I know a good ophthalomologist;). World artist. TOP

Is Thierry Noir any less deserving high prices than STIK?

Yup, won't do him any harm and it rewards all his collectors who enjoyed and bought his work over the years. I'd think most who are trying to talk down his work and the current prices, either don't own any and missed the boat that took 40 years to set sail. I can't fault TN for raising his prices, lets face it £350 quid for those canvas faces was great value.

It's not talking him down. It's questioning people who are talking him up, and their motives. There are people who read this forum who could throw silly money at his work, believing the very sketchy hype, and I'd rather question the basis for that hype than just let it carry on unchallenged. Obviously anyone who bought thinking he's going to be a wise investment is making their own choice and faces the consequences of that, but I don't like to see potential manipulation happening.

Thierry Noir makes cheerful, decorative art, but his importance and legacy begins and ends with the Berlin Wall. Nobody talks about his career over the past 30 years because there's no story there. He's pootled along happily and clearly done quite well for himself. He's very significant to a moment in history, but he hasn't continued to make work with relevance. He's made lots and lots and lots of work that is very similar to the work that made him famous. Nothing wrong with that and he has plenty of fans, but that doesn't make an artist who's vital in 2020. Those who are trying to say this is his moment don't seem to have reasons beyond the Berlin Wall and the fact his work has been cheap for a long time. It was cheap because there's so much of it. I wish him well, but the insistence that he's about to become huge doesn't add up. 

Why the need for rudeness? It’s possible for us on here to have differences of opinion, but to treat each other with respect (or lacking that, at least courtesy).
For my own part, I like Noir’s work too. He was a pleasant chap when I met him. He’s put in the years of graft and deserves accolades he now gets.

Bump. A buyer cancelled the deal in last second.

I really apologize, I have nothing personal with you and I am sorry for my words. The attack on an artist as coherent, pure and sincere as him bothered me a lot, his trajectory and coherence are enviable. An artist who can be made documentaries, even a movie. It is living history of art. Anyone can identify a NOIR from miles away and when someone sees one, it is etched on their eyes, it is rare that it goes unnoticed and this happens with very very few. For me nothing has changed, it was a great one and it will continue to be and there it has been generously available to everyone so that whoever wanted could enjoy one of his work, now the most difficult thing is getting, it was coming. I am very happy to be recognized, it was only a matter of time, there is the story.
