Looks great!, a massive wall need now for that chunk i think.

Very nice Jon11, they're awesome.

The McFucked print is a grower as well - if you're now in need of some cash I'd happily take the J&J off your hands

Great collection

ps the J&J is going nowhere, after laugh now it's a favourite!

...and a pic of it's previous home!



(taken on the drunken night i stumbled across it! ;D)

Jon, man that it spectacular!!

I'm not choe's biggest fan... but that I love. Well done, quality purchase ;D

And the thing I love is that it makes you smile big time, that's what art's all about for me. Forgot the pounds, if you lurve a piece make it happen and enjooooy ;D ;D ;D

Cool

Here are a couple of the other bits on the same shop (again apologies for the drunken pics! :-))

Ha, i wouldn't be surprised if there's a queue of people with hammer & chisels tonight after this! ;D

True. Nice these pieces are saved though!.

a rare thing of beauty - really sparks things off in our meeting room i tell thee! - may arrange visitation and viewing - but i'll have to blindfold you and lead you to location!

Yeah however much i'd have loved to get my hands on the choe, there's just no way i'd have room for the bugger!

It's getting hard enough as it is finding room for any small bits without turning my place into an overcrowded gallery!

absolutely mint. good on ya an amazing piece. deal of the century too i bet. well done.

Jon:

Congrats, I've always thought that was one of DC's cooler street compositions. Gotta love Munko dressed in a cardigan with his buck tooth. I must say I've never met anyone else that had both Choe and Ramos in their collection so we think alike. Are the Hubba Hubba's lithographs or are they on steel as I've seen them both ways. Nice work and definitely a famous Choe. enjoy!

Very nice, really like em
Thanks

>>>my ramos collection is fairly extensive - was obsessive at one point - he's what got me into the collecting scene and specifically prints, love em!

what you got lee?

Mine isn't a large collection but have had the pleasure of many dinners with Mel and Leta as well as a few lunches too. We got a tour of Mel's studio about 3 or 4 years ago when we commissioned a painting with my wife. He did a 40x30 inch canvas of her on profile standing next to a box of blueberry pop tarts with an orange to pink fade in the background. It's a jaw dropping painting and my wife and Mel have been close ever since. This is one of the canvases we choose to keep private for rather obvious reasons.

We've heard so many crazy stories of he and Thiebaud back in the day and the rest of the pop artist and parties in the 60s. Mel has a ridiculous collection as those artists just traded canvases with each other all the time. I put him second to only Ralph Goings (whom Mel taught) for watercolor. The last we spoke (July) I asked about a graphite on paper because his command of the fundamentals is mind blowing. He agreed to do one but I dropped the ball and haven't spoken with him or his dealer since- maybe this conversation is the kick in the pants i need.

Anyway, the brunette model you have on Hubba Hubba is one of my favorites as he did an amazing Peek a boo (keyhole) painting of her as well as numerous other too. He's definitely one of the best and now that I think about it I have some old photos of his studio that i should toss on flickr. I'll repost a link later this week if i get around to it.
