Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by onemandown72 on Oct 14, 2008 21:21:34 GMT 1, Curious though, for you Parla fans, 11,875 all in on that watercolor. Was that what you guys expected it to go for? I think also that the parla party was expecting a bit more than this!!
I'll be curious to see what the Parla's in the Bonhams sale go for. Whilst I don't own any Parla, I certainly wouldn't have gone to Dreweatts with one, and with this in mind I think that just shy of Β£12k was a pretty decent result

I agree, I think Bonhams is a better home for Parla. D* does better at Bonhams as well.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by moleman on Oct 14, 2008 21:27:50 GMT 1, dont get ian francis but hey we cant all love the same stuff
nw is still a talent he may suffer if your shallow but i have not heard so many people wanting a print (ratatiulli) ( what ever it is ) in a long time what were the results on mic
think they should be half laz price and if mr laz comes on i think the 50th anniversary print should of been to. It does not have the shading and ability of all your prints
imo mics are gonna drop 10-20% more but the hype is done get them if they come up

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by junkieart on Oct 14, 2008 21:28:55 GMT 1, the Decks were from a member here, I don't think they were signed but maybe he can shed some light on it... But I doubt they were, it was more about the packaging  They were also up for sale in a gallery recently for Β£7500  not signed but a nice box 
Christ I'll but mine in a big flash box for that!! When the next auction, I'll perhaps swop them for a neate :-)

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by dslug on Oct 14, 2008 21:30:03 GMT 1, >>>If you are going to bid Β£140K why not bid Β£150K to get it? <<< 1. i can't believe it even got to 140 2. you are the high bidder and now get to work with the auciton house and negotiate with the seller (while hearing what anyone else is willing to do) and perhaps make a deal at 140+ fees. 3. i can't believe it got a bid of 140 Question Would a possible scenario not be that at a reserve of Β£150k the reason the bidder did not go the extra Β£10k was that he was bidding the auction up?
I didnt see this piece selling but if the bid was with the guy at 140 then he is not invited to bid against himself.....generally in a situation like this when an item just fails to make its reserve then either you are asked if you will pay the reserve price or the seller is asked will they lower the reserve and sell to you.There are always lots of items that sell through negotiation after a sale

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by trasbash on Oct 14, 2008 21:32:15 GMT 1, Micallefs went for roughly 1600/1700 (we come in peace and minotaur weapon), 2100 (bomber girl). With the 24% ontop that seems to be the going rate. The estimates on those were ridiculas. A sign of the times was that most of the estimates for the higher priced pieces wernt met.

That is a possible scenario IF you know that the reserve is Β£150k which only the seller, the house, or anyone that the seller told would know. I couldn't beleive it got to Β£140k and when it did, i was stunned to see it bought in. It is of course possible that a seller has a friend bidding on their behalf to generate more interest in a piece if they are concerned that it may not sell.
On the flipside, if (BIG if) you take the leap of faith that nobody else knew the reserve, then a buyer is taking a very large risk getting to one bid below the low estimate because the seller could well have had a Β£100k reseve in which case the bidder owns it at Β£140+ Β£28k (premium)+ Β£23.8 VAT (if an EU resident)+~Β£4.2k artist resale rights+ shipping for nearly Β£200k!
I echo everyone's thoughts that would prefer the Monkey Detonator to the vandalised oil regardless (or in this case ESPECIALLY because) of price.

Thats good for Micallef then. He's holding steady. I would suggest anything that is holding it's value in this economy at Dreweatts is doing just fine. Thats great!

Just thinking that Laz made out like bandits on that gig selling prints at premium market value. Say what you want but the guy knows when to strike while the iron is hot.

Oh, my apologies. Sorry, I assumed the OP meant those prices were the going rate pre auction, I am afraid I am not too familiar with Micallef's pricing. If it was indeed a loss then I concur, maybe the bubble is bursting on Micallef.

well not a loss really great print low edition (rents high in London so laz cant sell them at ebay prices) and who's not to say they wernt put in by laz to sell off the last few
if you can afford to pay them prices for art you like pay it a good deal might pop up sometime but why wait for a piece of art to come up that you like if you can just go out and buy it

The bubble had already burst the moment people spent that type of insane money on his prints at source. Those prices were total madness from day 1 imo!

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by graeme501 on Oct 14, 2008 22:33:10 GMT 1, nick walker price wise took a massive beating today, nothing sold and was all priced too highly, so theres a bit of price correction going on - but to an extent nick walker brought this on himself, he had a great result in auction with the moona canvas, and his prices went skyhigh, but then nick kept them skyhigh for his brp show
im right in thinking that there was quite a difference in price between the carmichael show before the auction and the brp show after, and nicks prints cost just a bit less than a signed banksy release
im sure nick is a nice guy, but i cant help thinking that he is partly to blame

Small canvases that aren't even unique but editions of 12 with just a butterfly on it? Eh? And these retailed for Β£7k each? Wow. Speechless. I think a few people got snookered into 'investing' into Walker because some moron paid way over the odds for a mona canvas 1 year ago.
chickens coming home to roost now.

indeed he can, but now whats going to happen for his next show? artists very rarely if ever lower their prices, and imo, and people who were at the auctions opinion, is that he priced his work too high, too high a jump all of a sudden on the back of one auction
if im correct, pretty much the majority of his work was done in edition canvases, which, again imo, hints a little at greed, trying to make as much money as possible, so i think come his next show, he might struggle to either sell out or maintain the consistancy of his already high primary market prices

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by skanky on Oct 14, 2008 22:51:50 GMT 1, They did not retail for Β£7k each I think they were about Β£5k if I remember, but yes its been a bad night pretty much all round. Lots of factors in my opinion, but I still believe in our artists and the cream will rise to the top as had been said many times before.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by onemandown72 on Oct 14, 2008 22:56:29 GMT 1, i'm sorry but i dont understand the point your trying to make. Nick Walker to blame for what?. he can sell stuff for whatever he wants cant he? indeed he can, but now whats going to happen for his next show? artists very rarely if ever lower their prices, and imo, and people who were at the auctions opinion, is that he priced his work too high, too high a jump all of a sudden on the back of one auction if im correct, pretty much the majority of his work was done in edition canvases, which, again imo, hints a little at greed, trying to make as much money as possible, so i think come his next show, he might struggle to either sell out or maintain the consistancy of his already high primary market prices
Maybe Nick did take advantage of the interest in his work, and who can blame him. He's been working as an artist for nigh on 20 years, and this was maybe the one chance he had to milk his success. I say good luck to him, as his shows sold out, the money went into his pocket and he was clearly well advised.
Also one bad sale at Dreweatts, of mediocre Walker work is also a fairly foolish yardstick to base Nick's waning popularity. again wait to see what happens at Bonhams & Christies before makig a judgement on the demand for his work, or it's pricing.
I'm no huge Walker fan, but I wouldn't consider the Dreweatts auction tonight as a major turning point for any artist, either good or bad
