The art world is very fickle, people won't but unless its expensive and if this 'fad' is cemented in art history then prices will keep rising.

Agree Frankie - when did Bast become this expensive??
Last night at 2am Pez ;D
Lol. Yes. I don't blame the artist for cashing in - after all if he can sell at that price then fair play. And they are big pieces with I am sure lots of hand finishing.
BUT all these prices are just crazy at the moment. No way I can afford them. I don't understand who is buying this stuff?

An excellent question! Most people I know seem to be selling. I suppose that means it's a good time to buy but if I were going to throw a few thousand dollars about there are other things that I'd grab.

BASTNY.com Relaunch, by bastny on Jan 21, 2008 14:17:32 GMT 1, REGARDING BAST PRICING..........
Taken from BASTNY.com NEWS section.
PRICING
A few fans of BAST have asked us as to why the price of the TRASH & ROYALE Print is $1500? There are many factors we take into consideration when pricing a piece of work. These include SIZE, MEDIUM, EDITION and most importantly the time spent hand embellishing each piece. You'll notice that straight one color prints are priced much lower.
We have always tried to be fair and reasonable when pricing work. From time to time we have offered smaller more reasonably priced pieces so everyone can afford to own one. Such as we did with our last release of "50" and Masquerade Sinatra". BAST has also from time to time included extra pieces of art in his De Papel books so others can own a one of a kind piece.
Then there is the issue of reselling or as some like to call it "FLIPPING". Take a look on eBay. At any given time you will see auctions for BAST, BANKSY, FAILE and other artist's work priced much higher than for what the artist themselves sold it for. On top of that there are dozens of bids for each piece.
Does it make any sense that someone who flips a piece of art should make more than the artist/creator? Many fans of BAST are artists themselves. I'm sure those artists can understand more than most the time it takes to create. Keep in mind we don't even monitor auctions sites like eBay and truly believe in a capitalist society. The links are often sent to us from other fans/friends. We actually don't see anything wrong with reselling a piece of art you've had for awhile for profit or to buy another. But there have been many time people have asked us for a deal or some other special treatment (which we have done from time to time) only to find out they are reselling it the next week for double what we sold it to them for.
Lastly, art galleries price art according to demand. We try to keep our prices just below gallery prices as to make work accessible to fans and others who can't make it to the shows or gain access to previews. We do however still need to make sure we don't undercut as well.
So as you can see there are many variables and we truly try to consider them all. So if you are feeling priced out remember to check back with us from time to time for smaller BAST pieces. And if you were one of the many that supported BAST early on and got some great deals well more power to ya! Now don't go and sell that "GOLFPUNK" print on eBay! The Art G*ds are watching!

Yeah, looks as if these prints are a little bit cheaper than TLSG stuff.
Fair play to Bast - I'm pleased for him that he can command these prices. It's not for me at that price but there are clearly plenty of people out there who are willing to pay for these

Good luck to Bast if he can achieve and maintain these prices but its too hot for me. Oh well at least it avoids another trip up to London.

Surely it's worth seeing the exhibition even if you're not buying anything? It's been a long time since a Bast show in the UK. If ever?
