I shall be merging this acquisition with my existing portfolio of cheese and ham and am aiming to corner the market in omelette's. Anyone wishing to get in on the ground floor of this upwardly mobile, contemporary, consumer based project should contact my solicitor immediately. (Failing that my milkman will do....)

Just spent 6 figure sum , by flypitcher on Oct 26, 2008 15:01:28 GMT 1, No I do not have any dealings over originals. He is being courted by Marlborough/Gagosian. He will probalby go with Marlborough in New York as they guided his former mentor Tomas Sanchez to the seven figures a picture level. For Sanchez info www.lanuevacuba.com/nuevacuba/notic-06-01-687.htm or www.marlboroughgallery.com/artists/sanchez/artwork.html
My license with Iran Plata allows me to reproduce all his work in any format, prints,greeting cards, calendars etc., It also allows me to sublicense in different countries (subsequent to a sign off). So for now I market Iran Plata at the mass market. ie IKEA have placed an order for Spain and Italy stores. I'd rather sell 14 000 and make 6euros on each one, than try to do limited editons and spin the Art World.
My investment will be covered in 3 years, maybe quicker depending on the demand for his originals. He is a niche artist and is unique on the web.
For licensors you have to take a gamble and follow your instincts. Don't worry if people criticise you, if you have belief in the artist and more importantly the artist has belief in himself then jump in there.
Bye for now.
Have a good xmas and a happy new year.
PS Unfortunately GRAFTER my money dealers Arsenal Tom & Mick (mutual friend I think) didn't phone to tell me the pound was crashing so I am going to have to pass on that one.

I think the forum will appreciate that with my aforementioned Egg aquisition, with the help of Grafter, this should launch me firmly into the elite. I'm planning on using this as a launch for a 'Conflict Resolution' business, as i will be able to consult BOTH the chickens and the eggs.

Yes, Mr Flypitcher, we do indeed share mutual friends. Sound investment advisers (when sober) indeed, have to question their dubious choice of football team though.

Thats quite good value Edholder!.
It says all of those are "printed onto heavy cotton canvas," so presumably they're open edition prints as opposed to original art ot limited edition. Is it still cheap if that's the case? I don't think it's expensive, but it's not really that cheap either imo.
I really like his work though. It's very vibrant, colourful, looks well-executed and is varied in theme. I hope to see more of it in the future.

I was actually under the impression the guy had invested his six figure sum in the artist and all his works when i said that earlier and was wondering how he was going to claw it back from selling these pieces of work.

Just spent 6 figure sum , by flypitcher on Oct 26, 2008 18:38:24 GMT 1, Okay the prints are priced in similar bracket to Vettraino on open editions, the price was decided by the Spanish buyer from Ikea.
By the way selling to IKEA is never wrong. Never fall into the elitist mindset. Art is for everyone and so is money.
I don't have rights for any limited or originals.
I sell these wholesale to a number of shops/galleries, allowing them a 2.5 mark up. (obviously IKEA get a better price) The next trade show I do is in New York at the JAVIT CENTER in January next year. I wll take probably around 16k but then the reoccurrng orders will kick in. The net orders also grow. Like anything it is down to marketing. Lucky that Iran Plata has the pedigree and gets talked about like Wilfreo Lam. Also art now goes in fashion THis year the Chinese,Iraq were big. Over the next few years it will be the Cuban diaspora.
If you go to Havana now they are selling fakes of Iran Plata. So timing plays a lot into the equation.
Plus the most important factor the general public. I wholesale to a guy who works Spitafields all week, he just called me and said he took over ยฃ1200 this week selling Iran Plata, another guy on Saturday took ยฃ450 at Portobello So the next time any of you are downa t any of those markets there have a look.
So to all the Artists on the board keep the belief and get creating.
Bye for now.
Have a good xmas and a happy new year.
PS He has a book out next year, with a foreword by Jose Saramago (noble prize winner for literature). Saramago chanced upon him in Havana with Gabriel Garcia Marquez(noble prize winner for literature) I think in about 1999 at a New Year party It will be a portrait of his work so far.

The ARTGROUP supply IKEA in the UK, also Habitat,Selfridges, John Lewis and they went bust in the summer owing 10 million pounds but then got rescued.
I can't take the chance wholesaling to them incase they do not pay me.
Their buyer has approached me but I will do it on my own terms.
