That stunning piece that was half blue was 7.5k... The big painting of the face was 12k... Looks like his prices have shot up, but I only saw one orange dot on a drawing for £800.

My wife and I discussed it on the way home, perhaps it is the board that has driven up the prices and there may not be a market for his new expensive pieces.

Or maybe we are wrong. It was purely conjecture on our behalf and we know nothing!

But if I had of had 7.5k I would have been tempted, but for that money I would get myself a Matt Small original.

Bonhams was only the night before? Do you really think they would whack up prices on the back of that?

Surely it is the same route as Conor H and Matt Small, their prices have rocketed. We went to the This is England show a few Saturday's after and you could still buy a few pieces... Same with Conor H... And now looks the same with Guy...

Well, i asked on email on Monday and was told the prices were 3 - 12k which is consistent with what we saw last night. I would like to believe they didn't whack up the prices.

As you say though, one painting going for 8k doesn't mean they all will...

I have to agree completely with you here MM.. Time will tell but I think they may live to regret this and it seems prices were not set and were pending the results of Bonhams!

Guy seems to have a nice fan base, me being included in that and we have now just been pushed out of the market, at least as far as the RP pieces go... Hopefully other galleries that represent Denning will not fallow suit and make this same mistake...

with all of that said, I truly have to give Guy the credit he deserves for some of the best work he has produced to date, Lilith s one of the most amazing pieces I have seen and I'm sure it is even better in the flesh!!! Maybe I'm just mad because I can't afford the 12.5k to own her...

I am guessing that the Bonhams auction had an influence on these prices (maybe 10 - 20%). I think the prices would have moved up regardless as Guy is progressive both as an artist and as a commercial entity.

Although these pieces look stunning and maybe time will tell us that they are worth every penny, I've got to agree with MM that RP have put them selfs in a bit of a corner (what happens if most of the pieces don't sell.). I also agree with Photoxtc, that the true fan base (me included) have just been priced out of the new show.

Glad I got my canvas before this new phase as I don't think I would have been able to afford one now.

RP mentioned that they had overseas interest (hence the buy online.). I'm not sure if this means they were led to believe the pieces had big money chasing them (russia) or if this was some spin to open the show online.

I hope that Guy and RP have a good show as they both deserve it and it would be nice to think that my little painting has gone up in value but I stil feel these pieces are 25 - 33% too much.

Red Propeller, that is a brave and admirable move. I suggest that puts these piece at a very good price and would think that they should be moving pretty quick.

"The Lilith" at £8750 is a good price and the "we watched it come down" a bargain at £2800.

Well done.

nevermind, found it

I love 'the madness of king george' print. does anyone know what the quality of the print is like?

Makes some sense to me. RP wasn't going to get the gallery for free so had to mark up the pieces for more plus they have took notice of the feedback and addressed it. Hats off to RP I say, could have stuck to the original prices. Guy deserves to be going to the next phase in price points its just that the prices were too much too soon but now are very realistic.

I think Guy's work deserves these kind of prices. My opinion may be self-serving since I own these three beautiful pieces. I'm glad I bought them before the surge:

Hey all, this is going to be live on Auction Saboteur in a couple of days, so I am posting a link to my site, to tempt y'all into going to see the show - it may close on Sunday....

I always duplicate things on my blog...

Amazing Job!!! loved every second of it and could have watched an hour more if you had it up...

Yomster, starman 10/10 love it cheers

i love it how members of this forum are taking ownership of the art in a non-monetry way and are going out and documenting the scene and contributing to it that way. and i completely agree with what he means about Brizzle- espec as a took a mate for a tour today- naturally went to all the sights...wilder street, cato (the banksy there has been completely destroyed) who needs the suspension bridge?!

am looking forward to the next vid yomster, any clues?
