Tracey Emin 🇬🇧 New Release • Exhibition News • For Sale, by kfroms on Apr 27, 2022 15:52:52 GMT 1, Lovely print but I can't deny the feeling that, for a fundraiser, and edition of 300 at around 1,500 to 2,000GBP would have been an easier / more efficient way to raise money.
My fear is that these beautiful, big prints may not sell out and hence not raise the full amount. Let's hope I am wrong.
Living in London, the shipping&insurance cost would properly piss me off.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 23, 2022 1:04:17 GMT 1, Just wanted to publicly acknowledge what a diamond John The Badgers is. Setting aside his constant great posts here, he’s also very generous, as are many others on here, and it rarely gets mentioned. I recently posted about a book that I had missed out on. It came as little surprise, but hugely appreciated, that a copy arrived in the post for me from John. Lovely gentleman. I missed out on the first Hockney Sumo from Tashen (artist edition)
Hah! And I missed out on that signed Basquiat book. I add a link, just in case: www.ideanow.online/store/SIGNED-JEAN-MICHEL-BASQUIAT-PAINTINGS-p81805020

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Apr 20, 2022 10:27:12 GMT 1, That’s interesting and very telling, seeing as how DH would make more money the higher the number that keep the NFT; getting a cut of every sale(even if it’s been sold before). Guess it really doesn’t matter when you’re worth $500 million. Interesting point,the higher the value of the currency the more profit he makes on resale, I wander how much he has made from resale already? Nice passive income for someone who seems to love making money
You can check the Heni stats how much he “made” - total sales are at just over 82m USD, 5% of that are approx 4m USD

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Apr 20, 2022 10:21:06 GMT 1, I struggle with the assumption that Hirst / Heni are expected to gratify the holders of a DHC for months / years / decades. Looking after your community / clients is one thing but creating a bottomless barrel of gifts doesn’t seem the way to go forward in the mid or long term.
At a certain stage DHC needs to swim alone and if it sinks, it sinks. Wouldn’t be the first nor the last NFT doing that.

Tracey Emin 🇬🇧 New Release • Exhibition News • For Sale, by kfroms on Apr 19, 2022 15:22:57 GMT 1, I always struggle with comments like that. But I guess there are people on an art forum who do not understand art, appreciate art or at least show some tolerance. To answer your question: Idiots like me. I definitely don't understand repelling artwork and will not tolerate overpaying for prints based on an artist's name, especially from Counter Editions. Her text art is the only art of hers that is aesthetically pleasing. The figurative work lacks any skill and is downright monstrous. It definitely is expressive and probably is honest work, but anyone would be very brave or consider themselves to be complex souls to hang these. I for one am not. I'm a simpleton who enjoys beauty.
I can live with that point of view although I do not share it.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Apr 17, 2022 0:26:49 GMT 1, Has anyone exchanged recently? I’d be interested to know the timeframe between submitting the online request and the pick-up. Cheers
Expect to hear from Heni a few days after you exchanged. Pick up days are Friday and Monday ( iirc ) at Heni in Soho Overall a nice and smooth process.

I was at Hatchards last week - there are very few left. Come on, you want and need one! Admit it! :-)

Tracey Emin 🇬🇧 New Release • Exhibition News • For Sale, by kfroms on Apr 11, 2022 11:07:50 GMT 1, I listened to her interview with Whitechapel Gallery where she talked about her renewed creative focus since her illness, plus the need to sell works to fund her entirely altruistic new studio in Margate for budding artists. So I guess this may explain the new prints.
Fully understand the reasons but not sure if 500 self portraits are the best way to raise funds. But what do I know.

Considering there was a bunch of them not too long ago I am surprised that there is a new round of the “same” coming. That said with a lot going on in her life, she maybe has the urge to document it.
A certain pass for me but I am pretty sure there will be a pre-sale, as usual.

Talking art, prints releases or tats ..., by kfroms on Apr 8, 2022 11:20:40 GMT 1, I think if he showed his true feelings on the war in Ukraine, it might somewhat affect his popularity
Do we think he cares what people think? Does he care about his popularity? I always appreciated his outspoken, opinionated way of doing things.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 6, 2022 5:32:21 GMT 1, Nice one. Agree - outsized books can be a challenge.
I have a substantial collection of Andy Warhol books ( 60+ ) so its quite difficult to find something ‘new’ to add. Found two gems on ebay though, one of them is this first edition / first printing of “Makos Warhol” by Christopher Makos, a friend and photographer who spend a lot of time together in the last years of AWs life. The book is covering lots of trips and private situations as well as the usual parties / dinners with the rich and famous. I can highly recommend it!

And btw, IDEA is well worth checking out. On the pricier side but amazing stuff.

Anyone bought from Bukowskis Auction House?, by kfroms on Mar 24, 2022 16:44:20 GMT 1, Yes, I have both sold and bought with Bukowskis while living in Stockholm. Its the best auction house in Scandinavia, very old, very established and a bit dusty. Very professional though and generally nice to deal with.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by kfroms on Mar 14, 2022 13:20:22 GMT 1, You can get in via the search function on the Magnum site. Need to have a proper look at home from a laptop, at a first glance there wasn’t anything for me. That said it always takes me a few visits to figure out if there is anything.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Mar 13, 2022 1:48:04 GMT 1, I don’t see DH/Heni doing an airdrop prior to the burn date. It would make more sense if it was done after, as a reward to those who hold. Yup. Announce there will be a drop the day after the burn.
Exactly. Much more interesting to announce an airdrop before the burn ( the airdrop obviously to happen after the date ) That would really cause some thoughts/ stress / fud.

Thierry Noir 🇨🇵 Berlin Wall • French Street Arist , by kfroms on Mar 10, 2022 20:38:40 GMT 1, What amuses me most about these TN threads is, apart from Henners every post, is the fact that the actual prices of his works are still low. As in ridicolously low. Irrelevant. Ignorable. Non-wave-making. I like his stuff but he will never be important in the world of auctions. 24 hours is a long time in art? What a difference a day makes? www.nowaves.comwww.irrelevant.comIt's by no means over, but im thinking this is ageing pretty badly after 48 hours. #crystalballsdontitch
You don’t really think that this one auction result for a measly 40k makes him bigger / more important / blue chip? Its still a piss in the art ocean.
