Futuraland, by b1470 on Jun 3, 2021 5:40:48 GMT 1, I love Futura but did you see the pricing? I’m not spending $1000’s on a Mobile to hang in my bedroom. Even worse it’s a lottery and you have to be “lucky” to win. Alot iof my art heroes are all monetized and the hipsters spenders are suckers. How many vinyl figures did Kaws release in the last two years? How many poses can you make with a character before it’s too much? Is 3k retail too much for a limited edition vinyl pointman? Do you think it’s worth it and your investment will be an incredible win $$$ in the future? I don’t think that’s what it’s all about.

The only winners from this are DDT, ARR, SK and Futura.

Futura has gone way too greedy.
Fingers - buyers’ and the artist’s - will be burnt.
While dealers laugh all the at to the bank.
I sound like a fortune cookie.

Futuraland, by jase on Jun 3, 2021 10:57:05 GMT 1, It’s definitely wack to see a money grab left and right from all these “top artist” .
But I’ll give Futura a pass.
Futura is definitely playing up to the Asian market where his value and hype seems to be higher than in the USA . But I’d say it’s definitely his management That has been trying to get his value higher in the last 3 years .
For the last 25 years his works were pretty affordable , so I’m not too mad at a money grab in his latest years .
It’s one of the “don’t hate the player hate the game” type of things . the “establishment” art game is pretty wack nowadays, but I can’t be at players . . But that’s a whole other convo

Futuraland, by artzzzy on Jun 3, 2021 13:16:25 GMT 1, It’s all a marketing game..
The lottery is just to get people excited and convince them that they are “winners”.. so that they don’t think twice about spending these absurd amounts of money on this garbage
It’s like when galleries mark certain paintings from a show “on hold”.. just a way to drive people interest so they decide and buy quickly before they change their minds.

Totally agree. When the management team aren’t around Lenny will happily chat and sign everything including the kitchen sink.
