Not urban but very, very nice.

Here is a link for a ball park :

drooling...

Also what is the provenance/exhibition history? Do you have an up to date condition report?

I assume this is sarcasm and you know this is wrong.

Edit : Anyway, i don't want to hijack OP's thread but as an abstract enthusiast, i can hardly understand this statement.

I meant studio registrar.

a waste of time i feel...nothing forth coming from this OP...neither via PM nor email..ummm

But it comes from a Japanese gallery, so perhaps they could offer something by way of provenance.

[As an aside, I have no issue per se with posts being slightly altered when quoted — in the interest of brevity or relevant-text emphasis. And in this instance, the changes you made had no impact on the meaning, context or tone of my words. But as a courtesy and for transparency, I think it should always be stated (with "[...]" or another indicator) if any edits (however minor they may be) are made to somebody else's post when quoting it.]


No, there was no sarcasm.

We might have a communication gap here. From my side, I don't understand what you're specifically objecting to or disagreeing with.

Perhaps my point was expressed unclearly. The intention was to comment on artworks, particularly by well-known artists like Yayoi Kusama. In relation to these, and for a variety of reasons including insecurity, I believe most people are drawn to what they recognise — and to what others within their circle will also recognise. It may be a work's subject matter (like the stylised depiction of a pumpkin), theme, execution style, medium, colour palette or whatnot. In crude terms, one could refer to that work falling within the scope of its famous creator's distinctive brand.

The above aspects, along with the identity of the artist or simply their name, serve as non-verbal communication tools among collectors and their friends or associates — communication regarding matters that frequently have little to do with the art itself.

Reference to this was made by me recently in a separate thread. It often seems to be a case of "I like what I know", combined with "I want what they want". The latter is an expression of herd mentality. It underlines the significant, even overriding, influence (most visible in the upper echelons of the art market) of factors external to a collector's personal taste: perceived importance of a work, and perceived desirability to others.

For what it's worth, I don't believe this is stating anything but the obvious.

PM me.

Yes, saw her mirrored illuminated room in Copenhagen this summer spectacular!
