Antony Micallef • 21st Century Love, by slowmo on Jun 19, 2007 18:12:34 GMT 1, All three originals at the Exeter event were sold for £7k. When the guy at the gallery discussed the price with antony, he asked how much should he sell them for, antony said £7K, guy said are you sure (thinking they should be sold for more), OK £5K said Micallef. He is really worried abut getting the price right for his work apparently.

Antony Micallef • 21st Century Love, by bobbymeachamjr on Jun 20, 2007 1:26:40 GMT 1, of course demand is high - thats why the prices are where they're at. Its when demand is fueled by speculation is when we're entering into bubble territory. Just look at all these posts. This new modern approach to "accessible" art is shady. Print runs of nearly a thousand in multiple colourways etc etc. In times near the peak of a frenzy - the best decisions are the simplest ones. Be rational. Ask yourself Isnt it crazy that prints, yes prints are going for well over $10000usd ? Oh btw I own 5 signed banksys and I believe the going rates are absurd. To tell you the truth I am waiting for trollies to sell 2-3 of them off as I believe that will be the peak of this insanity.

Agreed. While I love Micallef's work, and own 3 prints myself, there is no way I can deny that there was a lot of hype earlier this year, especially around January when Eyestorm and Opus finally sold 21st Century Love as an individual print. Those prints went fast at GBP 3400+VAT, then Iron Tortoise sold his on Ebay for GBP 4700 I believe. BUT if you watched all of the subsequent 21st prints go on ebay, none of them sold at the asking prices- I know because I was tracking them for months. The most recent went for about the same price as sold by Eyestorm minus VAT (3400 I believe). What does that tell you?
The Laz prints came out in January, at the same peak of this hype, and were the smallest editions of a Micallef print released to date. They did not sell out at the price of GBP 4000+VAT, and you can still get one today. The price was obviously set too high, too soon.
I think Antony is going to continue to improve his art and prices will go up as new fans discover his work. He deserves the success and I look forward to his show in September (I'll be there). But I do think that his work was pushed up in price by Laz with that last set of prints and there was (and still is) too much discussion about the price and availability of his work, and too little about the work itself.

Antony Micallef • 21st Century Love, by slowmo on Jun 20, 2007 9:06:09 GMT 1, The LA show in September is not a done thing yet. It could still not happen. I really wonder what antony thinks of LAZ selling prints for £4K plus vat. On his shop page he doesn't even list them as a place you can buy prints.

Antony Micallef • 21st Century Love, by jonpud on Jul 6, 2007 12:28:12 GMT 1, i was only guessing, perhaps 35k is still the price then, either way I would have to sell my children to buy it!!
JD sold on Ebay last night on BIN £1500! So anyone's guess what a full set would be, 35k starting to sound a bargain!!

Antony Micallef • 21st Century Love, by peggysue on Jul 7, 2007 16:30:27 GMT 1, 21st Century Love is my absolute favorite. (Asides from Girl In A Red Dress.) It seems like the price of this image keeps going up. I was quoted 6K for one. If I had the money, I wouldn't think twice. She's a classic.

Dogs Playing Pool
or
Dogs playing Cards
Alternatively, I can offer a combination of.....
a crispy tenner,
a half eaten pack of Wotsits (Cheesy)
and pair of Tanga style mens briefs, worn once, or possibly twice (some slight Cheesy Wotsit stains on these.)
PM me with offers

Antony Micallef • 21st Century Love, by jonpud on Jul 24, 2007 19:01:39 GMT 1, Fair game! You can have my 21stCL for cost! Got a couple of signed Banksy's I'm willing to shift for the price of a weekend in Skegness!
Be real, the price for micallef's work is dictated by the bidders, not the ones who are asking for silly money BIN's, they are worth every penny the buyer is willing to pay for it!

With all due respect why didn't you buy it when it was that price then?

Think you will find that most members selling on here won't rip anyone off, if they tried then they would never make a sale, having said that Ebay is a pretty important guidline for everyone to be able to set a fair price for their art.
If a Micallef sold for 3k I would feel it fair to pay in the region of 2.7k on here. At the end of the day no one is gonna sell a 3k print for 1k just because they are doing a fellow forum member a favour!
And not getting shitty about this, just felt that your opening comment was a little mis-guided if you wish to strike a deal with someone!

EXACTLY!! you have just justified the current market price! I could have bought a 21stCL in May for 3.2k, I REALLY wanted it and not to make a profit, decided not to buy and have now paid almost twice as much 2months later! But it was worth every penny! Just more so in MAY!!

If you would have spent the 2K in the first place this would not be an issue. Not trying to be rude, but if you like the work then buy it ASAP or else you typically know where the price is going. UP!~
