Shepard Fairey Original for Sale, by jB on Oct 21, 2010 20:02:56 GMT 1, seems like someone got a pretty good deal for this one - I remember seeing one selling for 6000+ in the UK. Or am I totally mistaken?

urban art collectors are going to be much more selective, even if it is a HPM Shep..
never like that image to be honest.

Shepard Fairey Original for Sale, by Karl Read on Oct 22, 2010 8:34:46 GMT 1, These were sat on the subliminal site for a few days. (most other images at that price for an HPM would of lasted seconds.)
The image is by far from desirable when it comes to sheps art.
Good price for an HPM but im not suprised at the price at all.

Shepard Fairey Original for Sale, by gebeau31 on Oct 22, 2010 15:56:12 GMT 1, Agree...this price is not a surprise, and is not at all indicative of Shep's market. If it was a top-notch image, it would have sold for at least $6k (and HPMs on wood have gone as high as 10k for primo images). His market is as strong as it ever was...and this is evident by the shortage of strong material on the market. Shep produces a LOT of art...and yet, how many good pieces are available right now? Lesser material is not hard to find, and this is reflected in the price.

Shepard Fairey Original for Sale, by gebeau31 on Oct 22, 2010 19:01:18 GMT 1, I don't think this affects his market at all. Anyone that knows his body of work knows that this is an extremely weak image in a low-end format. No one will confuse this with Muhammad Ali on canvas.
And...despite the fact that it is a horrible image, it still sold for more than primary.
