Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by Dr Plip on Dec 4, 2014 13:46:49 GMT 1, If you're not comfortable with paying for a kit to stick on a street wall, then I guess you can look at it another way. By paying £500 or whatever for an IK, you're paying Invader to go out and continue the invasion for you. And you get to keep a kit for yourself. Like when you sponsor a donkey and they give you a certificate or cuddly toy.

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by Shoot Again on Dec 4, 2014 13:50:16 GMT 1, So more work to get the same amount of money : that sounds like what politicians are asking (from us) as well ;-) hence my comment about them finding a cheaper way to reproduce them  I think someone said on a different thread that Invader doesn't make these by hand anyway

Maybe his first kit (albinos) might have been at the price point where you could do that. I'm not sure how much they were. Anyone here know?
But has his popularity grew, so did the price. But he has obviously kept the same design true to the first one.

Oh, and Invader doesn't owe you anything. This is his livelihood and he has been on the grind for years to get to where he's at.

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by eschiff on Dec 4, 2014 14:04:31 GMT 1, But you're obviously paying for more than production costs when you buy a piece. You're investing in the artists career. You're looking at the artist's history as to what they've brought to the art world in the past and hopefully will continue to develop in the future. Invader is probably on the mount rushmore of the current crop of street artists (banksy, invader, shep, os gemeos?) and with that comes a higher price point. To me a 1k invader kit makes a hell of a lot more sense than a 200 quid print from (pick your poison) ..., whatson, la staa, etc etc etc ad naseum. Those artists have come along, painted an advertising billboard in order to promote a print release and immediately move to the next one. I don't see the problem with an artist like Whatson, or whoever it may be making a £200 print and then moving on to the next. People should collect art because they like the image, style, etc...if an artist you like releases prints frequently, it gives you the chance to get some up on your wall. Whilst all the while, said artist can afford to continue to put out prints. Seems like a winning formula to me... The invader kits are a bunch of tiles for an extortionate amount of money. That to me, makes no sense.
Maybe do a bit more research on Invader and it'll inform your opinion.

That's a rather hostile rebut to what is simply my opinion...
You say do more research, and perhaps I would be better informed, but do you really believe that an IK at plus £750 is pushing a movement forward? To me, that seems to be slightly contradictory. Preventing people purchasing them at a high price point, and limiting the edition goes against your clearly more informed opinion. Further proven by the fact people put them on their walls, at home. Its hard to push a movement silently, no?
With regards to the "boring and money grab"...who cares? If you don't like the boring work, don't buy it. No one is making anyone buy anything. Art is subjective, and what is boring to you, may not be to others. The money grabbing part may well be true, but we live in a capitalist word, where people want to make money. At least the so called "boring" guys can do it making other people happy. Few people can boast such a thing in their day-to-day lives.

On the bag for the kits, it says that he is not responsible for any future uses of the work. I wouldn't take that to mean he actually intends for people to put the invasion kits up on the street. In fact, I'd say it means the opposite.

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by Dexter Bulldog on Dec 4, 2014 14:41:26 GMT 1, can it be agreed that because the signature is on the bag that an unsealed kit is more "valuable" than an opened kit? i think that is the issue with the increasing cost kits as of late. people dont want to spend 1k on art they love to sit in a bag. these things are meant to be displayed even if it's in one's home. i've even seen people frame these things still IN THE BAG. its just sort of getting to be pointless.
i don't think people have a real issue that it's "just a bunch of simple tiles", just like a print isnt just a piece of paper, but maybe they should be signed on the back and done away with the bags. this way you can frame it or something.

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by Lroy on Dec 4, 2014 14:51:51 GMT 1, We know Invader is expensive... and cheap !!! Comparing - what I wrote up - to the price of prints ( mostly ) from unknowns artists in sale on line Asking 275 £ or more for one - the last kit ( not the bigger one ) was at 350 euros so the same, even cheaper .... - is a bit abused !
Most of the prints would not take any value in the future. Look at EElus.
I bought it signed at 150 £ and now I could not sell it at more than 75 £ ! and a lot of street-artists are bargain now !
( We could think what we want about 1xrun or Obey, about quality or not, they offer anyway a good price for their prints, as I say some galleries on line are a bit exagerating their prices and overrated their artists )

I'm pretty sure these were originally advertised for people to put up on walls. Maybe that's changed as the value as gone up, but I'm pretty confident that was their original intention |

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by alittle on Dec 4, 2014 15:04:46 GMT 1, @federationofideas, the original kits were still 75 Euro...you really think Invader thought people would piss away 75 Euro to paste them up on the street? They were sold under the premise of "invading your space" (i.e. your home), and they still are. The only difference is that they are now more expensive, because the market has set the price.

The only bonus is that at the higher price point there will be less flipping as it will not be worth it, so at least the money go's to the artist and not lining flippers pockets who make money out of genuine fans.

Sorry it came off as hostile not my intention. You keep questioning the price and saying its preventing people from buying. Well that's what limited edition art is and at 75 euros some people would be out.
Pricing just depends on your perspective but value is what I'm alluding too. Invader offers value for money because of his career, what he's done and what he means to the field of street art. The other fly by night artists offer very little whatever the price points may be (though 30 quid for any of the above named artists starts to rebalance that equation I suppose)

A mass produced, unsigned version would be interesting. It would save people the hassle of being weird in their local bathroom fitting store.

No problem, written text is often misconceived.
I certainly agree with you perspective that certain artist can demand a higher price, and rightly so. Supply and demand etc. However, where I'm struggling to comprehend the attraction of the IK, is the fact that, if I were to buy it I would literally be building an artist's idea, rather than buying it.
As I said earlier, I am a fan of Invader...but when I spend £750 on a piece of art, I at least expect it to be delivered already made. I appreciate your stance on value as opposed to price; we all want to own valuable things, but if you never intend on selling it, that value is something you decide intrinsically.
For me, it could never be worth the £750 I would have to pay, and therefore the price is wholly relevant to me.

The other fly by night artists offer very little whatever the price points may be (though 30 quid for any of the above named artists starts to rebalance that equation I suppose) No problem, written text is often misconceived. I certainly agree with you perspective that certain artist can demand a higher price, and rightly so. Supply and demand etc. However, where I'm struggling to comprehend the attraction of the IK, is the fact that, if I were to buy it I would literally be building an artist's idea, rather than buying it. As I said earlier, I am a fan of Invader...but when I spend £750 on a piece of art, I at least expect it to be delivered already made. I appreciate your stance on value as opposed to price; we all want to own valuable things, but if you never intend on selling it, that value is something you decide intrinsically. For me, it could never be worth the £750 I would have to pay, and therefore the price is wholly relevant to me. |

Haha I wasn't sure if that was understood either!

Surely, if it is assembled, it's already stuck together in some way? So, it would essentially then come as a complete piece, with a large peel-able sticky back?
