LAZ Raffle, by onemandown72 on Sept 4, 2008 9:22:39 GMT 1, If you look at this on a business level it's a great piece of PR, for the type of clients that Laz courts at the most feverish time of the year in the art world. Article in the Times, and has added some spice to an evening event that will attract money to Laz, and therefore expose his artists further and boost sales. Which ultimately his gallery his about. I can't see how this can have a lasting negative effect on the artists involved.
If I had the money to buy I'd go and get involved. Whilst the artists are about the art, Laz's job is all about the money, and I cannot see how he has let his side of his business down here.
As for being elitist, get real about this. Art always has, and always will be an elitist thing when it comes to ownership. Laz didn't invent the vageries of the art market and to take the high moral ground on this issue is naive.

LAZ Raffle, by Macdeee on Sept 4, 2008 10:06:52 GMT 1, I think I would rather go to Vegas and have a punt on the roulette wheel.
Or spend £5,000 on lottery tickets.
Or just buy 4 unsigned banksy prints or even one of the older signed pieces.

LAZ Raffle, by bored with screen names on Sept 4, 2008 22:07:41 GMT 1, have to say thats an awesome collection of stuff and all, bar perhaps the JR and the Insect Elvis, worth far in excess of £5k. Fuk fuk fuk, is it worth spending all my savings on this. I'd (almost) kill for either of those micallefs
Yes but these aren't the pieces you're guaranteed to get right? These are the ones you have a 1 in 10 chance of getting?
Do they show any pics of the "minor works" that everyone gets?
I said it before, but if I had 5,000 GBP to blow on this I certainly would.

LAZ Raffle, by onemandown72 on Sept 4, 2008 22:13:56 GMT 1, Just had a funny thought. Imagine the following scenario:
If (or maybe he does) Steve Laz has kids, and they go home towards the end of the summer term and say:
Kids - "Dad we need to bring in something as a prize each for the tombola at the school fete"
Laz - "Alright kids take some of those old sketches laying around my office they'll do"
Bets school fete prize you'll ever see

LAZ Raffle, by Va Va Voom on Sept 5, 2008 0:56:02 GMT 1, Before everybody gets too excited at the long shot at winning just think of the numbers 250x5,000=1,250,000.
This is a sales marketing exercise ,yes 2 or 3 will be happy but the rest will experience a very very expensive evening .
Apart from 1 or 2 images these are all pieces that have not sold whilst being on offer very recently !! Bargain or over priced works??

and before you shoot it down, think about the value of the pieces given away and raffled
You have 250 commissioned pieces for each ticket owner - valued at nearly £750,000
25 originals valued at nearly £1,000,000 (including two banksys valued at £650,000)
Hosting the party, drinks, strippers, hiring of the venue, etc
Laz is making art up to £1,750,000 available and spending as a guess, £50,000 to put on the party.
I see it as a good night out and money well spent
