LAZ Raffle, by Grafter on Sept 5, 2008 13:31:07 GMT 1, Who rattled your cage...?
You should know better than most the deal with exhibiting at galleries. And you also know full well what my cut of the ยฃ400 would be, and i'm not suprised you made a note of the prices as you were one of the 1st punters through the door on the afternoon of the buyers preview. Looking to get in before everyone else as usual, eh....
You don't need my address either. You bump into me at nearly every preview there is around town, and you know it.

No, just the one's who have sent an e-mail for an invite or bothered to get on the galleries mailing list. You don't have to be privaliged or rich to turn up and have a look. 5 Grand for a raffle ticket though is elitist and selective.

LAZ Raffle, by graeme501 on Sept 5, 2008 16:57:56 GMT 1, ยฃ5k for a raffel ticket is expensive, but its not like the prizes are cheap tat, its more of an art gamble, if u have the money
alot of people have mentioned the money, but thats the kind of clientel that laz cater for now, very few people on here can splash out on the cash for originals that laz charge anyway, it really depends on what the 'drawings or hand finished prints are like that everybody gets, but i wouldnt feel comfortable passing over ยฃ5k and not knowing what i was going to get (i dont have anywhere near ยฃ5k anyway

you should stop now. I thought you might sell 20 tickets and Ali would get a freebee but you're pushing it with this one.

LAZ Raffle, by slowmo on Sept 5, 2008 21:32:48 GMT 1, Eerily like a sales pitch to people you choose to sell to after the prime market didn't quite see you to your target. Your buyers feeling the crunch? The elite not snapping them up? Didn't see hide nor hair of you before, story only floated by the times to get here. Yet here you are now, two days after you assumed would be an instant sell out? struggling to shift the tickets? ;D
Only joking, but it does look like a belated sales pitch to the forum, mostly have nothing like the asking price. If you're stuck an still have tickets left, PM me, I'll have one for a ยฃ1K

LAZ Raffle, by edcase on Sept 5, 2008 21:35:30 GMT 1, I just wept a tear of joy at that strange encounters canvas.
Can someone please list / show the 'lesser' works that 'everyone else' will get as 'losers' though? It would be good to see worst case as well as best case so people can make an 'informed' decision.
Oh and 'sorry' for all the 'parentheses'.

Just to clear something up from the post above, has this anything to do with a charity? Or are we trying to re coup ยฃ120k :-) Peace JA

LAZ Raffle, by Zippy on Sept 5, 2008 21:44:53 GMT 1, There are 2 sides to every story........
one side says is this a great marketing trick and the answer is yes. do the artists approve? who knows!
The other side says this is the chance to get a banksy, Faile or Micallef original and it keeps ringing in my head. (maybe i have tinitius) 3 artists that I had given up on ever getting a new, original piece from - and now here is my chance. Not sure if I can afford 5k and i'm not a gambling man but what an opportunity.
Everyone can bitch about the cost. If you can afford it play the lottery if you cant, then dont. But it was Laz and Banksy that put a lot of people here in a financially well off position. Wheher people have sold Banksy pieces and banked teh money or used it to buy other art they desired.
So, lets not go bashing Laz. If you dont want to buy, you dont have to.

(maybe i have tinitius!) 3 artists that I had given up on ever getting a new original piece from - and now here is my chance. Not sure if I can afford 5k and i'm not a gambling man but what an opportunity. Aye this is where I'm at. Also regardless of what people think of 'the Steve Lazarides show', I imagine the party would be one to remember...it's what you make of it, right?
Plus, worst case, you come home with (one assumes) a half decent print. It's not like totally writing off 5k. If you haven't got it, you haven't got it (and regardless of protestations some on here will be being negative because they are in that position...however I do also know that some of them could happily afford it but are genuinely passionately against it) but there are worse ways of spending 5 grand!

LAZ Raffle, by hlarmy on Sept 5, 2008 22:04:15 GMT 1, At last, something that Iโd actually want to win: Jonathan Yeo
I really donโt see the attraction of the raffle โ the odds that are being branded around are based on the assumption that, if you buy a ticket, you would be happy to win any of the works available. On tonightโs evidence, my odds are more like 1 in 125 as there are only a couple of pieces that I like the look of.
Iโd only therefore buy a ticket for the nightโs entertainment and the thrill of having that very small chance of winning one of two pieces - but then again, I don't think I fit into Laz's target audience with this event - or I didn't until tonight
In their defence, I think this raffle is a fantastic piece of marketing - timed to perfection to coincide with Frieze and the influx of collectors and dealers from around the world. If done correctly this will undoubtedly help raise the profile of Lazarides and the artists the gallery represents. Good luck to those who enter; enjoy the night.
