Thierry Noir 🇨🇵 Berlin Wall • French Street Arist , by kfroms on Mar 8, 2022 19:24:18 GMT 1, And despite the fact he's a long-term street artist on a street art forum a good majority on here don't want him to have the success his peers have had. Weird.
I wish him all the best and really enjoy the print I own on my wall. What amuses me is that some clowns on here try to make him something he is not and will never be.

I like his stuff but he will never be important in the world of auctions.

Thank you Ekap! Nice one.
Got to chat with him once in our local registrars office - I was there with my future wife, he was there to “get rid off” his current one ( or she of him, we didn’t speak about that pink elephant ) Nice guy. Enviable dress sense.

BANKSY'S AT AUCTION, by kfroms on Mar 1, 2022 18:38:31 GMT 1,
Such a special and beautiful painting, the display was very good as well. My two kids watched the video while I was browsing the exhibition when my little one came to me and said that a man told her that this was his grandparents painting. So she asked me if we go find the man again as she wanted to tell him how much she liked it. So we did that, had a little chat with the most charming couple and we all hoped that it doesnt disappear into a storage facility.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by kfroms on Feb 28, 2022 18:43:10 GMT 1, If I knew how to buy NFTs and it was a simple process, I would get one for 2.5K. But I don't so I wont. I just hope the actual prints will appear on e-bay for 2.5K at a later date.
Ask one of the mods on the discord. Buying on Heni Marketplace is super easy and the NFT business straightforward ( as long as you do not move / bridge it and only wait for the exchange window to open )

Watch Collectors ⌚ Buy & Sell, by kfroms on Feb 26, 2022 15:48:57 GMT 1, I'm looking at buying a watch from chrono24, has anyone had any experience with the platform? As it's a marketplace I'm concerned with Authenticity, they give 14days to raise any concerns and will refund, but I'm not sure if I'd spot a very good counterfeit.
Yes, I bought and sold on C24. Once you have the watch, go to an approved retailer of the brand and have it checked. Generally, C24 is a great platform for both buyers and sellers.

No offense, but don't really want it being a platform for 'critique' on any artist as such, only want to encourage positive contributions book related for people to enjoy, and hopefully generate further positive contributions from people.
What Johnathan says. This is about our enthusiasm for (art) books , lets please stay away from discussing the actual content. I really think we all learned a lot / got introduced to new artists on here without any kind of judgement. And just to point out that I really appreciate your usually well composed posts, Met!

Let me know if you want me to get you one, will be at Hatchards on Friday.

Nick Smith 🇬🇧 Pixelated Art • Colour Swatches • New Print, by kfroms on Feb 11, 2022 16:48:27 GMT 1, Got the email. Maybe I was a bit naive about this one. My two year old daughter's name is in proximity to several words that, if posted on here, would probably get me banned. With a Currency coming back from the framers soon, I'm probably good for multicoloured things to go up on the wall.
Hah! Thats why I stayed away from using actual names and went for “Together” Fun to see that “my” swatch is next to Warhol, Basquiat, and a few away from Damienhirst. Also, close to an “arse”! Have yet to decide if I go for the print tho.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by kfroms on Feb 3, 2022 16:26:42 GMT 1, Nice one if you are into expensive, red, square mirrors.
But then, Heni will for sure start selling gallery lighting pretty soon. And offer a framing option with non reflective acrylic glass.
I sound like a broken record but I really do not understand why these are always so terribly glossy. Anyway, happy if others like the look of them....

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by kfroms on Feb 3, 2022 0:21:00 GMT 1, I suspect it's a tax dodge. They squirrel the money away in a US bank account and so don't pay UK business tax on it. The choice of currency has nothing to do with tax. They want the NFTs to be sold to as international audience as possible.
Don’t bother - mooncup does not understand taxation but he / she does , obviously, also refuse to read up on it ( or on Heni’s companies set up ) or accept the fact that you can charge in any currency you want. Wherever you are based.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by kfroms on Jan 31, 2022 15:35:27 GMT 1, It's interesting that they say "due to high demand". Previous Hirst timed editions have run in to 1,000 plus so these must already be well over that amount.
Heni has confirmed several times that this is fake.
No restrictions. None. Nada. Null.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by kfroms on Jan 29, 2022 18:56:05 GMT 1, There is chat on the currency Discord of selling one currency, and buying a full set of these (as NFT tokens presumably). Interesting idea. Probably wouldn't get quite enough to buy a full set currently but not too far off.
I thought of doing the same. And of course buying a Currency again after having flipped the Empresses. Lets see, still a few days to decide

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by kfroms on Jan 29, 2022 16:13:43 GMT 1, No one paid VAT in the UK for The Currency. Nobody. It wasn't an error or mistake. You're thinking with a traditional tax accountant's head on here. NFTs are a grey area. Heni know EXACTLY what they are doing. But you are not buying an NFT; you are buying a physical artwork. If you're correct , then perhaps Heni get around the tax laws by saying the Hirst Currency painting is actually free to those that buy an NFT (and are happy for the NFT to then be destroyed). Heni does strike me as a bit of a dodgy operation. That's why they ask for payment in U.S. dollars even though they are based in London. They are trying to avoid paying UK tax altogether.
Your lack of understanding is both baffling and scary.
If you are interested about the amount of taxes Heni pays ( as well as their turnover, cost of sales etc ) I advise you to check Companies House. All data is there. You are welcome.
