So is Jimmy Carr.

yep, both shit

Jimmy Carr's laugh in 8 out of 10 cats is so fake. And while I'm talking about laughs, Jonathan Ross's laugh is becoming more like Sid James's laugh week by week. I need to get out more

>>>Any reason why everyone is being so coy, was there a non disclosure clause when buying?<<<

Of course there was no non-disclosure agreement. However, it is common etiquette for art shows to NOT be blasting asking prices all over publicly. For the minority of galleries that pusblish their prices online, then it is obvious that they welcome the discussion.

The vast majority of openings that I've attended over the past decade distribute pricing lists if you request it and one can walk around the work deciding for themselves if they are interested or not. Even at those types of events, it is quite rare to see the press report asking prices save for a low to high price range and maybe quoting the one or two most expensive pieces because it is obvious that the gallery wishes to keep that information between the gallery and its visitors. This is typical and common within the art world.

This particular show had no price list that was distributed widely (it may have been handed out to a few people but I certainly never held one). In this case, you had to ask specifically regarding a work of art that you were interested in which suggests that they want to keep that information less public than the norm which should come as no surprise to anyone who follows this artist. Therefore, people are not being rude; they are simply being polite and respecting unwritten yet obvious wishes. Yes, some prices will get out there and I'm sure they have nothing to hide but we all have to appreciate that it's not something they wanted to blast into every visitors ears and respect it accordingly.

I believe the true intention of this show was to share the work with the public for free and let them decide on the merit of his work and most importantly- simply enjoy the experience for what it is. That is my interpretation anyway and a price list out in the public domain certainly changes that experience for most people.

I hear that some lucky people have been able to buy work from the show both at the buyers preview and quite recently.

deep pockets.
