Alancraig, that's a beautiful canvas and the framing fits it to a "T".

Taken from Arrested Motion. Wow, the canvas pieces look amazing and HUGE!!

My favorite, but then again I may be a bit biased

Here's the one I bought:



I just love the curves!

I see Baglione as something of an urban art nouveau revivalist. His images are both beautiful and despairing.

Francis, I may be mistaking the context of your comment and if so my apologies.

>>>as an artist, you will totally dilute and cheapen your market, not to mention compromise your artistic integrity.<<<

I disagree on both counts as I think it's entirely artist specific. As to your latter point, if the artistic vision is to try your hand at a bunch of drawings and see how you regard them, then you have not compromised your integrity whether you care to sell them or not.

As to the former point that a bunch of drawings would dilute and cheapen the market in favor of fewer originals accompanied by a print run, again I disagree. It is no secret in the art market that the most expensive artists tend to be the most prolific. Clyfford Still notwithstanding, if your goal is to increase price over time then you need to produce enough work that it is collected in as many hands as possible. The two most prolific artists of the 20th century are by far the most expensive. It is rare that modest amounts of work equate to a more robust and expensive market (as opposed to your dillute/cheapen analogy) and imho is one of the reasons the photorealists struggle from a pricing standpoint despite the way they embraced the print medium.

I'm not going to suggest Baglione will be on any kind of short list and will let history decide that one but I disagree with your points as I interpret them.

>>>ask yourself this....are you buying something someone feels the need to make for themselves or to satisfy the base needs of collectors?<<<

Neither, I'm buying that which moves me at a price I am comfortable with. Further, I would never consider hanging a Baglione print due to my own preferences, but this will be the second piece of his that I hang on a wall.

Lovely canvas and a fantastic price for someone, just wish I had the available cash right now.
Good luck with the sale and HNY.

The baglione looks beautifull, mate. Good luck with the sale.

Just came across this on HB's blog...



"Aqui a alma não faz sombra no chão "
edition of 100
Nero Fabriano Paper - 260grms
42 X 59,4cm
2010
$300 plus shipping
contact : wbaglione@gmail.com

looks great, but 300$ for an edition of 100 seems a bit pricey.

I'm not sure I agree. It's £185 and Baglione is brilliant, one of the top Brazilian street arists and a pioneer imo. There aren't many prints of his out there either and he's not in the habit of releasing them too often. How much would you expect to pay for prints from established artists in this scene? I think the crap churned out by some other artists for twice the money make this look quite reasonably priced! If you like it, £185 is hardly taking the piss for an edition of 100 imo.

Sure is mate, but needs must.

I would consider partrades on this one, interested in Micallef prints, Neate prints, other originals. Would need some cash in the deal though.

This piece is fantastic. Can't believe no one has pick up this beauty so far...

Quite a lot of interest in this beauty, still nothing sealed though.

Feel free to get in touch.

Cheers B...

Might also be interested in trades with works by Denning or Charming Baker.

Let´s make it a straight swap then.
