A bargain at £444 quid too 😭
Sorry, I love PINS but these are ridiculous IMO

Yeah, you could have them mass-produced in china and get the whole box for under a Tenner, but I don't think Collectors would approve of that.

Im out! Potentially im also hugely paranoid , but nooooooooo. EDIT, saying that and sounding like im slating them, im not, really like most of the others, but the house is just chilling.

I think if you could get them mass produced for under a tenner you’d still struggle to sell any.
I suppose, from a serious collector of his works POV you’d pay it, but I can’t see many riot vans and houses, on fire, being placed on many trees this Christmas 🤣

Paul Insect • Christmas Tree Decorations , by mrizzle on Nov 15, 2022 18:50:16 GMT 1, I love Paul Insect’s work but these miss the mark for me. Also, absolutely no chance that I’d be allowed to put these on a tree and even if I did then I’d give it about 72 minutes before one of my children will have obliterated at least two of them.

€600 plus shipping for some dubious looking Christmas decorations at a time in the world when a lot of people can barely heat their home just seems in bad taste…

Paul Insect
Christmas Tree Baubles
Ten hand-blown glass ornaments fulfil an idea in the works for over a decade.
design.
$640 (incl. VAT)
Edition of 500
Christmas baubles hold specific appeal for Paul Insect. Eclectic objects, each with their own story – collected over time, remembered every December and then forgotten for another year come January.
Beginning as a series of sketches in the artist’s studio, Insect has worked closely with a traditional glass manufacturer in Poland to perfect each design. The ornaments are blown, painted and finished by hand – no two the same.
The designs themselves reveal the artist's sceptical take on the commercialisation of Christmas. Clichés are subverted: Santa becomes a skeleton while otherwise-cosy flames envelop a gingerbread house and riot van. Elsewhere, they are ignored entirely in favour of a fly landing on a mouldy cupcake, or a deliriously smiling sun. Two pairs of eyes and a red-lipped mouth draw connections with Insect’s use of puppetry throughout his practice to bring inanimate objects to life, with disconcerting results.

Paul Insect • Christmas Tree Decorations , by My Name is Frank on Nov 18, 2022 10:19:05 GMT 1, Its bloody madness! Glass christmas decorations? £600? I wouldnt order them if they were by rembrandt, all broken within two years if you hang them, in a box never seen if you don't. Just such an odd thing to produce and sell.
£103.70 for shipping? What are they doing, ordering an easyjet flight and jumping in an uber?
Madness.
Love Paul's work but this is surely a project of insanity
