Nope, had some good offers but had a hard time letting it go, still do.

Also would be willing to swap for KAWS or Faile originals.

Its very nice, good luck, would like that one but its a ittle too steep for me.

Thats kind of like saying "I saw some signed Banksy prints sell for $150 on POW, all sold now though". The days that you can get something like this from Choe for $400 are long gone. Especially when he has PRINTS that are selling for $2000+.

I honestly think the best is still yet to come for Choe. Especially with the upcoming show at Laz which I think will be huge for him. I've been a fan of his work for years and its cool to see him start to blow up. His style is unique as hell, and he himself seems pretty cool with a really interesting story.

Also looking for Barry Mcgee originals

Thanks ABC. Please don't be afraid to make a reasonable offer of what you'd be willing to pay since you have nothing to lose.

Also, if you have some nice originals you'd be willing to swap, maybe we could work something out.

Not a nice large size, but I wouldn't say it was "tiny". Its 11.5 INCHES and not cms just to clarify.

Thanks

Measurements converted to cm - 29.2cm x 29.2cm

Although its not real big, the fact that the image is of a face filling the space gives it more of a "presence" than you'd expect from a piece this size. Meaning as opposed to leaning in to try and make out a small scene, whole body, etc. fitted into this space, it is an image of a face that is essentially the same size as yours or mine. This painting can be appreciated from a distance rather than having to lean in closely inspecting the pic.

If anyone is more comfortable with making this an ebay transaction, that can also be arranged. I have 99% positive feedback with a powerseller rating.

I would like to acquire another piece with the sale of this one so I will drop the price to $9K

Thanks

verbalkint, I appreciate your post but I'd also like to clarify some things. My price of $9K is in US dollars so that would be 4500 GBP which would fall in your 3-5000 GBP range. It might be at the high end of your range but please keep in mind that the provenance of this piece includes showings at 2 gallery exhibitions, which generally speaking is very desirable in a piece. I also think that those paintings at the Laz exhibition would probably have no problem selling out very quickly even in that price range. I've recently seen a gallery with a 39"x 39" Choe "face" painting selling for $30K so i'd be pretty surprised if he did commissions that big for 10K.

I'm not too familiar with Francis's background but do like his work. For a painting that large I think you got a great deal for 5000 GBP. Popularitywise I would have to disagree that they are on par. Maybe in the UK, but Choe has had shows in many countries, solo show at a major museum (MOCA), Art Basel, his zines & prints distributed in different countries. upcoming show at LAZ etc. etc. - I believe his exposure is currently much greater. Google both and you'll see what I mean. Both are tremendous artists so I don't want this to turn into a Choe vs. Francis.

Market-valuewise, I'll admit its on the high end, but I don't think its unreasonable. Sometimes its fun to look at art from a historical perspective. I personally believe that this whole "street art" thing will have a firm place in a historical context and believe that Choe will be one of the few mentioned. He has a hell of a life story, very unique style, street respect, gallery sellouts, and I'd say one of the most popular street artists out right now no doubt about it. Only reason I'm selling this is because I have another one and have my eyes on another piece (or escape to Argentina and Brazil for a few months).

IF I decide to lower my price, I'll give you first shot at it verbal.

personal opinions aside, the choe city girl is much more "established" than anything francis has done...

LOL, you don't think that should've been a PM Danny ?

Ooopsie. No secrets on here anyway...I'm an open book. LOL!!!

Nice Scrunch Face! these are originals mix media on Dave's Calendar inserts. looks much better framed the way you have done.

Thanks outeredge. It was expensive but I'm happy with how it turned out so it was well worth it.
