Urban Art Association

Invasion Kits / Faile / Sandra Chevrier / Jef Aerosol , by vinzc on Mar 29, 2023 11:57:55 GMT 1, Hello all, it’s been a long time since Ive been active on this forum. I got pretty involved between the years of 2012 and 2014. In that time, I amassed a formidable collection from many of the folks on here, and otherwise. And while I was no longer active on the Banksy / urbanartforum, it wasn’t at all due to a lack of love for street and graffiti art. Quite the contrary.

While I started photo documenting street art from my former home in NYC in 2005, In 2014, I left it all to embark on a worldwide trip documenting the explosion of the global movement. It was a self-funded project that would take me across over 70 countries, across 400+ cities towns and villages. It was not only photograph existing walls, but also to link up with over 400 international (and local) artists in process at the wall. All of this was in the name of creating a set of books from a personal, 3rd party perspective through my lens of experience within this phenomenon. While much of the story was living this dream of mine, the pandemic really set off a series of dominos that stopped me (and the project) dead in its tracks. If nothing else, I suppose that will make for a great chapter in the book…eye roll. That said, I am going to start selling portions of my collection to help sustain and realize this project. I suppose when you have hundreds of thousands of photos on a subject, you don’t really need to hang prints / ogs anyway. Although, if I had my way, I would never part ways with any of it. As a general note, any of the artworks I sell will not have been gifts from artists…but works Ive purchased outright. I would never sell any works that were given by friends.

Re price. I am most interested in selling at fair value. Even though I am focused on raising some cash, I will also not sell at discounts to fair market value. I am pretty well-versed on the pricing of most of these, which is why I am starting with this lot. Ive only ever purchased art, and never sold…so I am starting with easily verifiable valuations. That said, obviously if you seem to think the pricing is something like 20+% over valued, please politely let me know what you think - preferably via DM or respectfully within the thread...vs some form of online shaming/bashing, haha. I never quite understood the dual-messaging on here (ie. 'no offers, post your prices,' vs getting gutted online for posting your prices). While I will of course consider reasonable offers, I will also say this - if something seems slightly higher than what you are willing to pay, but is ultimately fair, let’s try to go with the fair price, yeah? Chalk it up to helping an artist out who has dedicated much of his life to this movement in general and will ultimately allow for a massive project to be realized. Not charity, but fair pricing. I am currently living in Rome, and this selection lives with me here in Italy. I can send anywhere, so long as you're willing to pay for the shipping and any associated import/export/duty fees. There are also a couple ways that I can try and help you navigate / offset some of these fees (artist and region depending). 

If you need any references, I would be happy to provide. I estimate I have bought 30-40 pieces from other users on this forum, some og members of the banksyforum. I haven’t reached out to any of them to speak on my behalf, so they should be able to give you an authentic account of dealing with me as a legitimate and honest member. I priced out those that I feel confident in pricing, but there are a couple posted as offers. It was my intention to add the photos of each piece here, but am having some difficulties using the photo uploader. That said, kindly find the links for photos of each piece in the title of the artwork. 

I sincerely appreciate you reading all this…and if you’re interested in any of the available works, please shoot me a PM. Best to all.

Also - From time to time, I still get inquiries re my Faile Strange Encounters (SEPIA, ed14), printed on the Banksy Morons Sepia. It memory serves, Faile gave it as a gift to some of the POW staff and friends at one of their holiday parties way back in the day. I paid a pretty penny for this piece, and it is ultimately one of my treasures…but considering it’s also fairly easily accessible (currently in UK), for the right price, and to the right enthusiast, I would consider letting it go. So offers accepted on that one.

Thanks for stopping by!
