SOME GUY CALLED HEATH, by bullet on Jan 28, 2008 12:34:01 GMT 1, This is a bit un-related but thought it was an interesting observation...
This whole heath ledger business is very very sad, but up until now if someone said name 3 films he has been in no one would know, you could pick up a signed picture for a about ยฃ10 and if you were shown a picture of him i doubt you could name him.
Look at the past week on ebay, a signed picture of him sold for over ยฃ1,000.
Talk about cashing in on a death, its disgusting.
And people thought flippers were bad, this is a disgrace how all this stuff suddenly comes out of the woodwork for personal gain...

There is a difference between selling a silly picture and cashing in on a dead person.

SOME GUY CALLED HEATH, by sm on Jan 28, 2008 13:15:42 GMT 1, I agree it is horrible to cash in on anyones death and what happened with Heath is very sad.
However he was hardly an unknown and am surprised by his lack of notoriety in the UK. Obviously he was a big deal in Australia but was also considered A-list in the US. He has made some superb Australian and International films but shunned media attention so was often left out of the tabloids.
for anyone who is unfamiliar with the film Two Hands, it's definately worth a watch.

I have John Lennonโs autograph and he's dead and if I wanted to sell it so be it. Picasso's dead so should people not sell his work. The fact that he is dead adds the extra value. Live and let live.

SOME GUY CALLED HEATH, by Filipino Box Spring Hog on Jan 28, 2008 18:33:36 GMT 1, this too shall pass - when Jerry Garcia was alive and creating artwork - it wasn't all that expensive to get a handsigned print at a reasonable price - in the following days after he died print prices skyrocketed and held that increased value for several years - in the past couple (2 or 3) years we have seen a general, somewhat significant decline in the prices of his signed prints - they still sell for more than what they did initially but, not for the vast sums they were fetching for quite some time.
I use Garcia as an example because he was iconic and for many still is a vital part of their lives (mine, for example) - however, there will always be people cashing in on someone's death - weather it be monetarily or otherwise - look at all the crime dramas when someone is murdered - the first question is: who stands to gain from this death?
well, I digress - point is - it will happen everytime someone famous dies - it is different in some respect to flipping prints as someone dies only once - but, an artist - in particular the artists we all follow here - make prints by the a**load every other month - and flipping is I'm sure part of the equation a gallery/artist uses to gauge the price point of their next print release.

SOME GUY CALLED HEATH, by a4mnt on Jan 28, 2008 22:28:20 GMT 1, Lister painted some sort of tribute to him I guess. It was on display yesterday.
Frankie - did you talk to Lister about that ยฃ30k installation piece? Did he say it was a 'tribute' to Heath Ledger?
Just that the mag cover to the left of the HL Clown canvasses said 'DEAD Pills Joker'....which I didn't really assume was a tribute. But It would be interesting to know Listers point of view on that whole piece.
The pair of female superheroes opposite it were my only favourite pieces of the show. I wasn't too keen on anything else.
Great show though, I really enjoyed the chilled coffee and bagel thang going on. Had a chance to have a proper sober chat to Matt Small, which was really interesting and generally had a really good morning seeing as it was relatively quiet. I say that those who didn't go missed out a little. Nice one to Elms for doing something different.

Oh, cracka...you may well be right, I was nursing a hangover and really only went ther to see friends, have breakfast and the hair of the dog in the form of champagne and guiness cocktails! I probably got that totally wrong!!! There was def a painting in response to the aussie actors death!
Good to see you there and you looked soooo smart!

SOME GUY CALLED HEATH, by a4mnt on Jan 28, 2008 22:48:27 GMT 1, Thanks fella. You didn't look hungover mate. I'm trying to decide whether I should start making an effort with my appearance. 
I think you lot thought I was a waiter so I did the decent thing and relieved Matt Small of his empty plate while he was mid conversation with Lister. He was well pleased. ;D
Nice little earner for all involved if the original pieces were an 'afterthought' to the prints. Wish I had the talent to rack up ยฃ30k odd for myself and the same for the gallery inside a week, if thats what he actually did. Seemed like a nice guy as well.
I did find the dead pills joker thing a little uncomfortable. But it was interesting as a reaction to such a recent event.

SOME GUY CALLED HEATH, by slowmo on Jan 28, 2008 23:43:40 GMT 1, Art is definitely bought up heavily towards the end of a successful artists life. Its probably THE most notorious industry for cashing in on the dead? Bridget Riley and Peter Blake are starting to feature heavily on a lot of collectors radars, sitting in wait for the inevitable and the windfall that follows.

He always had an indescribable awe about him, was a great sportsman, a brilliant actor and extremely gifted man.
To those who knew of him and his work he will be missed..........
