Art V Recession , by Daniel Silk on Oct 31, 2008 18:11:46 GMT 1, I know some people dont like talking about this sort of thing  but it does affect all of us, and is interesting to hear what people think is gonna happen over the next few years.
We all know the art we talk about here has been on meteoric rise in popularity over the last three or four years, so how do you see it doing over these troubled times?
I wonder that the growth in its popularity is still in its very early days, and has a good amount of strength to keep it moving forwards for years to come. I think it will ride the storm over the next few years with very little damage, and be much stronger for the experience when the worlds finances become more settled.
What do you think? ;D

Art V Recession , by Tiki on Oct 31, 2008 18:20:52 GMT 1, I think the recession will make peoples purse strings tighten. Because of that all the shit cling on artists that have jumped on board because they think they can make a quick buck will dispurse and we will be left with the class artists and art that we have come to love. So in all nothing will change except there wont be quite as much shit to sift through and it will be cheaper.

Art V Recession , by Sliding on the Walls on Oct 31, 2008 19:40:58 GMT 1, I was thinking earlier about future human generations and what they would make of Banksy's early work... Whether they'd not be too keen, as it will be less 'current' and therefore possibly harder to relate to - or whether the work he'll do in his old age would become the collector's favourite as his style will have evolved and changed with the times...

I'm with you on that one. I also think there will be a drop in some of the prices as people cash in as the money dries up. I've been hoping for a while that the bubble may burst, so that I can pick up some pieces that are currently out of reach due to price. The long term outlook can only be good, get rid of the dead wood and let the hype about the better artists cool, but I reckon we'll be in for a few shocks in the shorter term.

Art V Recession , by Little Art Book on Oct 31, 2008 20:21:25 GMT 1, I think everyone (artists / buyers) will start to focus more on quality. There was a time when all an "artist" had to do to have a sell out print was come up with an average idea and print it on cheap paper.
I personally believe that this recession won't stop people buying art, but will stop people buying art just for the sake of it. I've bought so many prints over the past few years and the majority of them I wouldn't hang on my walls. Now I'm going to concentrate on less purchases and better quality.

Art V Recession , by brun on Nov 1, 2008 13:38:43 GMT 1, err why would you ever buy quantity unless you are a dealer ? only buy quality always no primart unless you need stuff to burn in the cold winter ...........funny that all people with expensively valued banksy say the market will hold . personally i think some of the work just dont make the test of time such as dface , nikers walker and the likes , a few banksys are not gems either and they will go down like a goldman sachs hedge fund . basically i think the gimmicky stuff ie pinocho with missiles will be charity shop fodder.

Art V Recession , by brun on Nov 1, 2008 13:48:59 GMT 1, recession has hit already and art is a luxury that has to go especially if you lost your job and your house is being repossed like many of the city folks that came to buy bansky etc ........
personally my work has never been better , but of course it may dry up at any moment so i am careful with my money (and scottish) i am selling so i can buy another piece as opposed to spunking the cash ............

Art V Recession , by snakes on Nov 1, 2008 13:56:15 GMT 1, I am not buying anymore prints but that comes down mainly to the fact that I don't have any more wall space and therefore what is the point in owning prints that will not be displayed?

Art V Recession , by mcnuts on Nov 1, 2008 14:04:32 GMT 1, I agree with the above and there needs to be a correction to get rid of the rubbish. I too need to watch my cash and am elling things to cover the costs of a very big purchase (for me at least) which will puts me out of the game. On that note, I have a 3F Know Hope original for ยฃ400 if anyone wants it  l
