Jose Parla • The Founders, by kfroms on Sept 22, 2021 22:48:41 GMT 1, I’d say under 500 And we’d be lucky to see this in hand by 2025 knowing Parla’s track record…lol Still waiting on the $500 record/sleeve and not too keen on a signed sticker…why not sign them individually???
Both logistically and financially it is much easier and profitable to have him just sign some stickers, send them wherever the prints are produced and slap them on. I am tempted but not sure this will ever make the wall….

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Sept 22, 2021 10:59:24 GMT 1, I am a big fan of the often silly but always creative and witty art by Martin Creed. His exhibition at Hayward Gallery a few years ago was really a great 'show'! Bought the limited edition catalogue - What's the point of it?
Its an edition of 250 and the 'artwork' included is a torn up, yellow piece of A4 paper.
Also, autumn is around the corner which means more time for books! Hah!

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by kfroms on Sept 19, 2021 13:44:06 GMT 1, Sure, it doesn’t happen as often in Europe / UK but it is still an issue. From what I understand from my friend who works at one of the big auction houses its the non-payers at online auctions which is becoming an issue.

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by kfroms on Sept 18, 2021 17:35:43 GMT 1, That's fascinating. 41% of Chinese auctions resulting in non-payment? Wow.
Yes. Which is why you really need to take all those high results from Asia with a big pinch of salt.

Sotheby's Art Auctions • LONDON 🇬🇧, by kfroms on Sept 18, 2021 14:33:43 GMT 1, What happens if you were to make the winning bid but then discovered you could make the payment? Hasn’t happened me, but just wondering ?
In theory they can come after you for breach of contract and force you to pay BUT non- paying winning bidders are quite common and other than blacklisting you not a lot will happen.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Sept 16, 2021 15:32:33 GMT 1, I will hodl but am happy for everyone who cashed out and puts the money to good use! Well done! I am sure you won't regret it but it's not for me. Felt a wave of relief when I woke up this morning seeing it had been sold. I'll be honest and say that this has consumed me the last few weeks. Good luck 🚀🚀🚀 I am lucky to have 2 - one will be exchanged for the physical piece as soon as the window opens. The other one is to 'play' with - maybe keeping it, maybe selling if prices increase, maybe exchanging as well. Lets see.

Gavin Turk Piss Can (Release), by kfroms on Sept 13, 2021 14:27:53 GMT 1, Its flat not sparkling. (Well mine is) 350x 330ml cans is a fair bit of piss. The video is well worth a watch its priced at the current value in Silver.
sparkling piss. thing is it will naturally inflate with the flatulence of bacteria, no need for the soda bubbles. cannot wait for the pissy walls I hope he ate plenty of asparagus before creating these works of art!

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Aug 31, 2021 20:02:31 GMT 1, thanks dreadware , just watched the video and am still trying to understand it, I’m sure I’ll get there. Wish I could pay someone to do it for me! I bet I’m not alone, now there’s a business idea (like having a financial broker)!! Cheers Why is so complicated? You'd have thought considering the sums of money they'd have a slick system.
Blockchain was developed by nerds, for nerds! :-)
Fun aside, I can’t see how the current set up and sky high, ever changing gas prizes will make this whole world more popular. Someone needs to come up with a KISS version ( keep is simple for stupids )

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Aug 29, 2021 11:19:46 GMT 1, Well done for cashing in, I hope the funds will put to good use.
Had a chat with my wife yesterday and we decided to stick to our initial idea of exchanging one to a physical and sell the other at a certain stage.
That said we were “wobbly” for the first time in terms of exchange - given the value we briefly considered to sell both, buy a long wanted Hirst wood cut print with parts of the proceeds and then move on.
Should the prices continue to go up, this really will be an increasingly “difficult” decision.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Aug 21, 2021 10:18:15 GMT 1, Anyone who likes hyper realistic paintings a la Chuck Close please check out Franz Gertsch. He is a swiss painter ( born 1931 ) and does most amazing large scale paintings. He also has a lovely museum near Bern.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by kfroms on Aug 18, 2021 16:43:20 GMT 1, It seems quite shocking to me (an NFT virgin) that that the process of trading NFTs is so unbelievably complicated. First there's Metamask, then there's Palm, then there's Ethereum, then there's gas fees that continually change, then there's people putting in offers who then back out, then there's various transaction fees as you jump through numerous hoops to try and get the money in to your bank account, which seems to me, as an outsider, as an unnecessarily complex process. And if you do one step incorrectly, then you seem to lose your money, with people saying it's your fault. The whole process is a total nightmare. I would have been happy to sell my NFT for 30K but I didn't dare try as I knew I would balls things up. If e-bay operated like this, it would never have got off the ground. I hope come the 29th September the process of swapping your NFT for the physical is going to be a lot easier. From what I understand it will. Your NFT will have to be on Palm side and then it should be only a few clicks. No bridge, moving things around etc.
You can really see and feel that this whole blockchain world is the brainchild of nerdy developers. User friendliness is more an afterthought, if even.... :-)
