Want to purchase some prints/art... but what ??, by Deleted on Aug 11, 2009 10:48:06 GMT 1, Hi,
I would like to buy some prints/artworks for my birthday I like urban and contemporary arts.
I am looking to purchase something of quality, something I like but ALSO something that may gain value with time.
My budget is app. 600 USD.
Found this on the net:
BLEK LE RAT www.blackratpress.co.uk/product-getting-through-the-walls.php?gallery=yes At ยฃ150. The only signed item by Blek at little price I found, but it is a pic taken by his wife
NICK WALKER www.nellyduff.com/index.php/art/artists/nick_walker/3/gold_nozzle ยฃ100 for gold nozzle, not bad. I don't like much his stuff but he is famous, therefore I guess his work has value.
BEN ALLEN www.artrepublic.com/artists/31-ben-allen.html I like his work. And it is not that expensive but will it gain value with time ? Love fly me away is nice
BRIAN JONES www.artrepublic.com/prints/11359-madollar-black-signed-limited-edition.html Same question... This madollar is popular but it is worth to purchase one ?
RENE GAGNON renegagnonfineart.com/rg_store.html renegagnonfineart.com/rg_store_newcanvas.html Do want to start the Mr BRW and Gagnon debate. Renรฉ Gagnon's work is nice. Would you go for a set of print (at 100-200 USD) or one canvas (at 500 USD). Is 500 USD not a bit high ?
MR BRAINWASH www.mrbrainwash.com/buy.html This guy is very popular nowadays and his work are selling like doughnuts. Is it worth to purchase something from MBW or will prices go down ?
Plz, drop your comments and let know what you would purchase as good investment... And PM me if you have any offers for my budget.
Thx
TheBigBoss Nairobi, Kenya

linkd95 - Thx for the info. Currently busy watching his canvas. And what about the items I have selected above ?

I have exactly the same three prints as you, rats, as well as cnd soldiers. I might sell them, do not really want to but might need to to fund study etc etc. About a week ago I asked on the forum what they might be worth and got two replies suggesting ยฃ600 to ยฃ1000. I do not want to go through the process of trying to sell them unless I can be sure to raise enough to make it worth while, other I prefer to keep them and raise the money a different way. I wondered if the offers you have had are in the region I was advised? any help telling me what kind of response you got would be appreciated, thanka Alan ( mine are mint conservation framed but instandard art republic frames, art republic certificate of authenticity bought 2006 mint

Want to purchase some prints/art... but what ??, by Deleted on Aug 11, 2009 13:08:50 GMT 1, Prescription Art, erzengel, craigf - Ok guys, this is exactly what my wife is telling me "Why would you buy something only for its value ?? Get something you like". Btw, bought two prints of Gilbert & Georges for my wall Feb. this year (http://www.peperuka.com/2009/02/20/big-boss-et-gilbert-et-georges/)
mishco - Unsigned Banksy ? Aren't Banksy overpriced ? And there are so many crooks selling fake Banksy... Will think about it
craigf - "Stock exchange" ??
@schlomo - Thank you. Indeed, I had the link but forgot to check Nick's store. Thx
@wizbong - I don't like party, sorry but send me an invitation if you do one
Prescription Art - "Barking the wrong tree with these artists" ? How can you be wrong with Banksy, Walker or Blek ?
OK, it seems the links I gave don't inspire you too much... I will have to decide then, either I buy something stuff I like for ยฃ10 to ยฃ150 as most of you suggested it, either I save a bit more and go for the big names
Thx

Want to purchase some prints/art... but what ??, by Prescription Art on Aug 11, 2009 13:19:49 GMT 1, I was only offering advice from my own experience - most times i've bought something thinking it might be worth money in the future, i've ended up with something I don't particularly like that's worth less than i paid. Whenever i've bought something by an artist whose work I really love - who aren't hyped on these forums, i've ended up with beautiful pieces I love that have ended up being worth considerably more (I'm looking right now at originals by Deuce Seven, Fefe Talevera, Skewville, Fake, Know Hope, Remed, Greg Gossell and Word to Mother that were all less than ยฃ500 each)

thebigboss - its really just about buying what you like, and be happy about it. Art dose not have to be expensive to be nice, so just find out what you like and go for it.
