WTF Is Happening at the moment to prices??????, by RBK on Feb 3, 2008 21:10:35 GMT 1, Was bound to happen sometime.
Finally the market couldn't take anymore due to (too many screenprints, too much crappy art/artists, higher and higher retail prices, crappy financial markets, uneducated collectors, tons of speculation, the holidays, credit card bills, to name a few).
Agree it is a great time to buy certain works if you have the disposable income to do so. A lot of people are still broke from the holidays or worried about their mortgage.

WTF Is Happening at the moment to prices??????, by valdemar on Feb 3, 2008 21:33:37 GMT 1, The persons that have been buying the urban art latley are the first collectors on this type of art. We have have bought pretty much what we want because of the low prices, YES 2000ยฃ for a Faile in 12 edition is cheap!
I can see this because the focus is now more on specific pieces, and pieces that have been shown and at Ebay many times have been "killed" as an intrest. This pieces will ofcours come back when the second collectors will start buying.
So we are now waiting for the bigger croud to accept urban art and that they will starting buying. And the best we can do at the moment is wait for this other generations buyers and not sell so many pieces.
When this will appear many of the "new urban artist" will drop off and there will be a focus on a smaller group (probobly the ones that have starting this hype).
When we have come so fare the focus will then be on the real avantgard grafitti from the begining of the 80"

WTF Is Happening at the moment to prices??????, by icky on Feb 3, 2008 22:08:35 GMT 1, I posted this earlier today on Wall Kandy, and I guess there will be some reactions here:
Here's some stats for you.
I've been keeping track of the Banksy prices on ebay for a while now and I've always wondered what all the talk about the dropping prices was about.
As an example here are the prices for unsigned Virgin Mary that sold out summer 06 (ยฃ75):
The prices are not complete or 100% accurate, but most are. And the reason I used VM is because it has always been lots around.
My point is that except for one freak period (June-September 07) the prices been on a steady rise. Most prints have this trend except for the prints since Barely Legal, where the prices has been constant (high) since their release (except for the first few of each print on ebay that has had stupid prices).
The prices for signed has the same trend. Except the prices had a more dramatic increase around BL, and some ridiculous prices were paid summer '07 (≈50% higher).
If you got into the game this summer I can understand that it looks like the prices has gone down, otherwise it's just not true.
BTW: I think the same can be applied to a lot of other artists.
Like Micallef if you skip the period just before his LA exhib when prices skyrocketed. I believe the prices now are higher or at least not lower than before this period. (not too sure about this, though)

About the Expressobeans chart:
Skip the first crazy 3 weeks and you have a straight level line.

WTF Is Happening at the moment to prices??????, by BME on Feb 3, 2008 23:32:42 GMT 1, Its a strange time but strong pieces are still commanding good prices.
Earlier today a signed LIITA finished for over 10k- cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260207253488&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016
While the Santas Ghetto version of the Trolleys is already at 5.2k with over a week remaining.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250211955567&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015
I think that people have become more cautious about buying but there's still a fair amount of money out there for the top end stuff.
