Big and pink Harland (and other pieces), by kfroms on Dec 31, 2022 22:50:05 GMT 1, Very nice set up kfroms and cc13 🙌 Will be rude if I didn’t share my little Currency and large Imodium. Love that you hung the currency close to the corner and next to what I guess is a window? I was quite fuzzy with “what goes where” and now its a bit like “nail in the wall and up it goes”. I keep rotating my art every few months which teaches me to be a bit more tolerant in terms of the perfect spot….

cc13 - very nice flat, Congratulations!

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Dec 28, 2022 15:56:05 GMT 1, My rather wonderful wife gave me a ticket for the great talk of Dylan Jones, Tracey Emin and Rankin back in November - on top of it I got the book which I finally managed to read, thanks to long and slow swedish winter days.
Dylan Jones - Faster than a Cannonball. 1995 and All that
As the title stipulates, the book focusses on 1995, switching between Music ( birth of Britpop ) and Art ( YBA etc ) Its a fantastic read, mainly due to immense line up of contributors. For the arts bit its is virtually every key person from back in the days, on the artist side the biggest voices come from Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Michael Craig Martin. Music is covered by all of the Britpop heroes incl the Gallagher brothers, Brett Anderson, Alex James etc
If you are a kid of the 90s, this is a wonderful trip down memory lane. Read it.
Here - 50% off at Waterstones:

I really like this piece so hope they're going out in batches. Yes, all for the first round. There will be a second round of allocations on Monday.

Damien Hirst • Paper Veils, 300 Original Paintings, by kfroms on Nov 16, 2022 12:05:14 GMT 1, This is out of my budget but the price seems "good" to me. This is the price of a Banksy print or a rare kit from Invader to get an original painting from Hirst. Love these... They look stunning side by side (which it makes even more complex in terms of costs)! I was 100% sure to not buy any more Hirst at the moment. They look good though and the price is fair, in addition I could chip in a Currency…. Will have a look at them next week and then decide what to do….

Damien Hirst • Paper Veils, 300 Original Paintings, by kfroms on Nov 15, 2022 21:21:33 GMT 1, This is interesting how they will be allowing NFT and physical Currency artwork as payment (especially as physical has been getting higher sales).
Anyone wanting a laugh about this should visit the Heni Discord. It is unbelievable the dribble coming out. 🤣🤣🤣 Had to chuckle as well. The entitlement of some participants is so so so funny.

Particularly as in my case the the sticker is loose in the book. Haven’t decided if I keep it that way or if I should stick it in as well.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Oct 18, 2022 8:40:39 GMT 1, What are peoples thoughts on the currency unique prints? Are a lot of existing currency holders applying? Does anyone know if there is a Heni frame in the pipeline? Thanks I like them but still not sure how that would look on my walls. Could overall be too big, too in your face. They will be massively oversubscribed so good luck anyone.
No information regarding a frame

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by kfroms on Oct 18, 2022 8:32:46 GMT 1, The launch of the a new square print sale is always a painful reminder that I still have a couple of unframed ones sitting in a drawer…. At a first glimpse there is nothing which really urges me to buy. The Martin Parr is nice but not sure it really works on that small scale.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Oct 11, 2022 9:58:58 GMT 1, Comparing these two stunts is a very long shot. And neither KLF or Hirst ever claimed that they invented burning stuff.
Anyway, much more amusing is that people start queuing despite being on invitation list hours before doors open. I really wonder what their daytime job is ( if they have one )
