Mr. Brainwash - Late For Work & Its A Boy, by snausages on Jun 18, 2010 2:33:37 GMT 1, Warhol is famous for saying "If you want to know about Andy Warhol, just look at surfaces of my painting and films. There's nothing there." But ironically there was a lot to pop art and his work was slyly clever on multiple levels.
While MBW does on rare occasion do something clever, for the most part, there is "nothing there." Warhol's ideal has finally become reality - that's the part of his work that I like. Yet I wouldn't dare hang it on my wall. I just think it's interesting.
Sad thing is that if this truly is a gag being pulled on the "art world" I think it would be brilliant idea but still I think it's failed as the "art world" has mostly rejected it and it unfortunately is mostly taking advantage of the "street art" collectors and the dumb rich from eastern europe and the art world outsiders that Opera gallery has been working.
But it would be a clever cultural phenomenon none the less. Pop will eat itself...

you may not agree with their tastes but no need for that sort of descriptor

MBW are unoriginal, I am really surprised at the amount of paople that buy his stuff but each to their own I guess

Yes poor choice of words. By that I meant to describe the group of people who compulsively F5 and buy any print they can get in a basket.

They often ship out within a week.

Can someone please turn down that broken record? It's so annoying!
Hhopper, while you're on the phone with Eelus, can you tell him Casey Burns wants HIS idea back?
....can you also ask him to release The print edition of ICARUS, post-haste!

Never seen that poster. Much nicer than Eelus!
I rate Eelus recently about as highly as Brainwash... so there you go!

Don't worry about MBW or Eelus. Too much of a waste of your energy. (and time)

1500 for a print that was 150 yesterday ? Come on this is not art collection anymore here, it's either mere speculation or more likely price manipulation.
