HAND STENCILLED TURIN SCAM, by finsburyparkranger on Jul 31, 2007 19:07:43 GMT 1,
I was chatting to stuey about Baldwin the other day. I don't think 'hype' killed his momentum, I think the market just wasn't ready for such a high rate of work to become available from him. He pumped out loads of originals and prints and then the dutch guy released a gallery load of old stuff onto the market at the same time. I think that soured his price and ruined his momentum. If Mantis and Beejoir appreciate the importance of keeping the audience wanting more, they should continue to do well as long as the economy remains strong.
Disclaimer
The price of art can go down as well as up and a wise collector only spends what they can afford to lose.

HAND STENCILLED TURIN SCAM, by insite on Jul 31, 2007 19:09:04 GMT 1, I have loads of James Cauty at home, I only ever bought the prints I like and I never saw them as an 'investment' so ultimately I aint lost a thing as I paid for the images, Now the flippers, well thats a different story!! Wonder who has hundeds of pop prints sitting under their beds going nowhere!! ;D
UK Art Prints have 100's of Cautys, I'm not complaining though I've bought a couple cheaper than cost ;D ;D

Although someone is trying to get a huge amount of money for some originals on ebay. Baldwin yes, is complete speculation though as far as long term prospects and price appreciation. (like most artists) But still might do well long term. But yeah, this happens pretty often. Flavor of the week, all the rage one year, completely forgotten the next. Which of all these artists will still be around 10-20 years from now? Nobody knows but probably not many. Not too many most of them will be forgotten for sure and the prints will be long forgotten too!

I have over 50 Cauty prints and would never part with them. It doesn't matter two hoots that they're worth jack shit as I bought them 'cos they made me smile and have a sense of humour about them. Banksy is probably the only other artist on these boards who's work actually makes you smile.

HAND STENCILLED TURIN SCAM, by pezlow on Aug 1, 2007 6:08:15 GMT 1, There is a lesson to be learned in the prices that Takashi Murakami and Chiho Aoshima's work is now fetching. 2-3 years ago they were two of the most important contemporary artists in the world. Now prices have levelled out and gone down. They will still be remembered as the leaders of the Superflat movement and I think their place in art history is secured. But will their prints command the sort of prices they were fetching a few years ago? I doubt it.
