Damien Hirst H15 โข The Archangels, by keyser on Apr 30, 2024 16:02:30 GMT 1, I used to buy quite a bit from Heni and be lucky with plenty of lotteries etc. Made the mistake of cancelling my Empresses order when there was a huge delay on them and the NFT kids were driving the price down and haven't been lucky since! Convinced I've been added to a naughty list with all the flippers selling at auction too quickly.

Hirst isnโt against flipping which is why he doesnโt have any resell conditions.

Damien Hirst H15 โข The Archangels, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 30, 2024 16:36:55 GMT 1, Where did you get the application numbers from Riotcop? That information hasn't been released yet. I just done this search on Heni Discord.
The 4196 figure is probably made up. Even if true, there will be multiple applications from the same person / gallery (and their distant relatives / pets etc) and they would count an application for all 4 as four applications.
For those that missed out, they might hear again within 48 hours - but I would drop Heni an email to say you want to buy if there is a cancellation. ๐

Itโs Riotcop, take what he says with a pinch of salt, probably the biggest flipper on here. Not a great one at that I did it to prove a point in response to someone saying there was no applicants. To prove anyone can make unsubstantiated and speculative posts to sway opinions. Don't believe everything you read on a forum without basis or a source referenced.
That said, it's the first time I've posted anything remotely satirical and have consistently posted relevant info and assisted numerous forum members. Apologies if this affected anyone.
I believe I've had 3 sales threads on here since joining. Majority being releases from 2-3+ years ago. I've bought way more on here than I've sold. Your post is further proof to not believe everything you read on here.

They see the big name, see the profits that were made with the Virtues, need something that is easy on the eyes and identifiable by the uneducated visitor.

If I was a betting man I would wager the applicants were considerably higher than 4200

You gotta admit though, this art collecting thing is kind of ridiculous right? I mean I'm addicted as well, but Jesus, what we pay for unimpressive crap is just nuts.
Ask anyone in the street who doesn't collect art, what you or I just paid for <Insert Art Object here> and what we just got, and they'll think we're insane and/or stupid.
So we don't look as crazy, we then have to follow-up by saying, "well you can immediately sell this for 3x as much."

Collecting is a serious addiction. Tbh I just buy what I want to hang on my wall and look at. I also donโt have friends that ask what it cost, or probably care.

Just an opinion though. That's good. I also buy what I like to look at, but remember years ago when I was caught up in the UAA hype machine chasing things without actually really liking what bought and slowly figuring out that many here are just trying to boost their own eBay sales by creating a market.
You're right that my comments are often snide. A lot of the times, it's just to have a fun time trying to counter the hype. I just assume that most of the posts here aren't very genuine. Apologies if you were offended enough to feel the need to give your own opinion. But I do welcome you to the conversation.
To me it's baffling why people spend large amounts on autographed printouts from famous artists, when prints are never even close to how great an original artwork can be. That money can be spent to buy a good sized painting from artists who may be far more talented than the celebrity artist. Especially with these Hirst editions of late, anyone here can go to an art supply store and produce the same, if not better work for $100. And they would have the satisfaction of creating something rather than just consuming.
So why do people spend $8000 on a printout? Is it for the minute connection to the artist?
You would think the only rational motivation that could possibly drive someone to purchase Hirst editions would be the potential resale, because no one here would buy this same edition at the same price, if it was released by a guy off the street.
Or is it motivated by the thrill of the hunt? The addiction of securing a release and the adrenaline rush from that.
I'm really curious to know what motivates everyone. Is it just something nice to look at before the eventual sale?

And they would have the satisfaction of creating something rather than just consuming.
So why do people spend $8000 on a printout? Is it for the minute connection to the artist?
You would think the only rational motivation that could possibly drive someone to purchase Hirst editions would be the potential resale, because no one here would buy this same edition at the same price, if it was released by a guy off the street.
Or is it motivated by the thrill of the hunt? The addiction of securing a release and the adrenaline rush from that.
I'm really curious to know what motivates everyone. Is it just something nice to look at before the eventual sale? Iโve always been baffled why people buy autographed print-outs instead of the original large format blossom paintings, which can be sourced from White Cube / Gagosian or at auction for as little as ยฃ1m.

Damien Hirst H15 โข The Archangels, by pamplemousse on May 1, 2024 8:41:40 GMT 1, No I bought a limited edition reproduction of an original in a format that best suits the work by the biggest artist in the world and signed on the front in pencil. Fine if you think so! But how is that format the best when the originals are a completely different format? Reproduction means a copy of something. Format means the shape, size, and general makeup (as of something printed).
I.e a giclee is the best format for an edition of these paintings.

Collection can be as soon as itโs delivered. I find it strangely satisfying when people live down to your already low expectations.

Damien Hirst H15 โข The Archangels, by nobokov on May 1, 2024 15:14:27 GMT 1, That's good. I also buy what I like to look at, but remember years ago when I was caught up in the UAA hype machine chasing things without actually really liking what bought and slowly figuring out that many here are just trying to boost their own eBay sales by creating a market.
You're right that my comments are often snide. A lot of the times, it's just to have a fun time trying to counter the hype. I just assume that most of the posts here aren't very genuine. Apologies if you were offended enough to feel the need to give your own opinion. But I do welcome you to the conversation.
To me it's baffling why people spend large amounts on autographed printouts from famous artists, when prints are never even close to how great an original artwork can be. That money can be spent to buy a good sized painting from artists who may be far more talented than the celebrity artist. Especially with these Hirst editions of late, anyone here can go to an art supply store and produce the same, if not better work for $100. And they would have the satisfaction of creating something rather than just consuming.
So why do people spend $8000 on a printout? Is it for the minute connection to the artist?
You would think the only rational motivation that could possibly drive someone to purchase Hirst editions would be the potential resale, because no one here would buy this same edition at the same price, if it was released by a guy off the street.

But I bet you can paint the same thing yourself and bring it to one of his openings. I bet he'd sign it if you asked nicely.
