Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on May 25, 2024 10:08:19 GMT 1, A further addition to my Warhol book collection
Andy Warhol Enterprises Indianapolis Museum of Art 2011
Throughout his career as an artist, filmmaker, director of the Factory, band manager, magazine publisher, and television entrepreneur, Andy Warhol intentionally blurred the line between art and commerce, calling into question the very values of art by claiming, โGood business is the best art.โ Andy Warhol Enterprises examines Warhol's complex and multifaceted relationship with commerce in both his work and his lifeโfrom his highly successful career as a commercial artist to his reign as a major cultural trendsetter in the eighties
Wasnโt aware of this book but stumbled across it on www.booksaboutart.co.uk/ which is a nice place to find some gems.

Julian Opie ๐ฌ๐ง Statuette โข Pop Art Portrait โข Lenticular , by kfroms on May 14, 2024 21:10:21 GMT 1, Thanks for posting jennygagosian, I think these are superb. Fortunate to go to the 'talk' he did at the fab Newlands House Gallery a while back, and recall him detailing the thought process behind his figures work, running, walking etc, really fascinating. Not a kidney, but I would gladly give my right arm for one of these, and as a single fella, this a big sacrifice. I am sure someone on here would lend you a hand every now and then.

Damien Hirst Secret Garden Painting Print release, by kfroms on May 4, 2024 20:58:02 GMT 1, Already sold at 2x. Prints have not even delivered. The data doesnโt lie and we predicted this one pretty spot on. Well done again to those that managed to buy a piece! Data? Which data? Or do you consider someone putting a โsoldโ under a picture of a print as โdataโ? Judging by your other posts you do. And that says it all.

Anyway, it will happen again. :-)

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 17, 2024 20:26:06 GMT 1, Good for you so ( because of me ahah - you did not know it ? ). What is your secret ? You ordered directly from the editor ? You are searching as Astarti by ISBN ? Never heard about this one ( first edition ? ) with a cd โฆ i bought the cd 6 ยฃ on Discogs .. No, not using any ISBN. I happen to know a guy who knows a guy :-) I think that my cd is different than the one that was on Discogs. This one is from the exhibition in Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 2010. It has Moderna Museet written on it. Yours too? I bought the book at the Hayward Gallery during the exhibition and there was definitely no CD included.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 9, 2024 9:45:05 GMT 1, Those are two great books ( and looks like you got a good deal on them , Lroy ) I have seen the Ruscha exhibition back in 2010 which was fantastic. Surprised to see how expensive the catalogue has become.
If you are in London tomorrow:
The massive Georg Baselitz Exhibition is opening at White Cube Bermondsey. German Bratwurst and Beer will be served from 6pm. No RSVP needed. Unfortunately I wont be in townโฆ.

Edit. Lroy beat me to it. :-)

New Tracey Emin Prints โข Counter Editions, by kfroms on Mar 26, 2024 16:25:56 GMT 1, Gone up from 11k to 14k in the last hour. I guess the price is OK, if you consider that some of the single prints are at that price (at their upper tiers). But so many similar looking prints! Not followed this one but isnt 14k first tier? Got an email last week and think they were 11.2k after the 20% discount.

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by kfroms on Mar 26, 2024 12:41:55 GMT 1, Which of their timed editions haven't been signed? Terrible image, not sure what AA or Ruscha's studio were thinking ๐ We will do some more explaining on the importance of this artwork soon on our website. When I first learned about Ed his work I was probably also more drawn to the mountain works but when you dive really deep into his work and also have seen the show at the Moma you start to realize the importance of some of the early works like OOF and Spam. Anyway anyone is free to have their own opinions of course and should buy what they like/love.. the take away from this thread is that OOF bests SPAM but luckily there is the wonderful option to just not buy it. Good luck with the drop, I happen to like the Spam.

What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by kfroms on Mar 25, 2024 13:51:13 GMT 1, I am off to Berlin tomorrow to see Underworld play at Velodrom. How was the show? Not seen UW for about 15 years, need to work on that.
And today,I'm listening to this rework of the classic track 'yeke yeke'. Paul Dakyne has done a great job, keeping the faith to the Hardfloor 303 lines, but dropping a lot more vocal from the Mory Kante original into it. Bone fide banger; turn it up.
The show was absolutely fantastic- solid in the top 3 ever Underworld gigs ( and I attend a lot of those ) Velodrome Berlin is an epic and perfect venue, Underworld were clearly in a great mood and the concertgoers were very euphoric ( the relaxed attitude towards recreational drugs in Berlin certainly helped to bring back the old school rave feeling ) sound and visuals were top notch, as usual.
Curious how the gig in Alexandra Palace will be..
Go see them it you can.
