Urban Art Association

They're hanging on the wall at the show for the nx 3 months! - i passed on 2 - or more - kind of kicking myself now - but decided at the time i didn't like them enough to buy and wasnt interested for investment, yes i am definately kicking myself now
Bird happy though - we're moving soon and need the coin more

monkeys in parliment still has not sold, if you have a spare 500k in the bank, sure andipa could sell that for 2m!

how about everyone chip in 50 quid and the forum buy it ?

so we would only need 20,000 people i think ?

yeh

(pissed)

what were the prices like?

I think a lot of us would appreciate some clarification about the opportunity to buy pieces from the show. Who invited you? How did you get on the list? What was the preview like? What were the prices? Etc. Please!?!

the bomb disposal van picture was £500....the hunters with suits doodled on was £1000.....the simon cowel was £2500...these were only affordable bits for me...then shot up £15,00 or something like that upwards

did anyone here pick up a sketch?

please post photos, sliky you must have got something?

>>>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.

I think the best option would be to email PC

Fingers crossed for you fragile.

good luck
