Curious to see what the Hockney 'A Bigger Green Valley' will go for - fantastic piece ( if you have a rather large wall, that is! )

CHRISTO, by kfroms on Jun 14, 2021 16:21:04 GMT 1, Very cool, presuming these are signed posters ? I bought one of these from Nurturenature not long ago - the paper stock is actually reasonably sturdy ( and by no means one of these flimsy, fragile poster papers ) Christo & Jeanne Claude donated the prints to NN, supporting their cause. Mine has a big signature from both on the top of the page, looks really good!!

The “artist” goes through all that trouble, creativity and hard labour for 4GBP? Idealist or idiot, I wonder. Actually, I do not.

And I have to admit that it is really really good. So is the catalogue. Hard cover for 28GBP. I thought these were £18 when the exhibition first opened?
No idea to be honest. I happily paid 28 quid last week ( on Amazon its 52gbp as a pre-order )

Sehr geehrter ,
ich denke es ist richtig beschrieben, das Coverinsert, also eine gedruckte Abbildung eines Polaroids, das lose in die PVC-Schutzhülle eingeschoben ist, das ist signiert. Nicht signiert sind die Innenseiten des Buchs.
Bei keiner der Reproduktionen, weder im Innenteil des Buches noch bei der lose eingeschobenen Coverabbildung, auf der einzig der Garten von Monet abgebildet ist, handelt es sich um Originale.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
It confirms that the Polaroid is signed.
On a side note - there were 5 of these books on the bay and now they are all sold. Nice to see!!

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Jun 8, 2021 10:27:33 GMT 1, Good question Rosac. I had a close look at my Polaroid and , to my little knowledge, it looks like a real signature. The publishing house states ' von Darren Almond signiert...' If you google the book I find lots of different looks of the signature, some with one dot, some with two dots and the actual signature varies as well.
Anyway, I sent them a message and asked if they are all hand signed and will post the answer.

Something pretty for a nice weekend: Darren Almond - The Giverny Plaroids I always liked DA and his way of taking his pictures at night, using very long exposure times. On first sight all his pics look 'normal' but looking at them closer and longer you can feel that something is different. For this book he took pictures in Monet's Garden at Giverny, of course at night. The 64 pages are bound in a way that you can take out the pages, it also comes with a hand signed polaroid. Its a lovely thing and easy to grab for around 40GBP ( just make sure you buy a signed one )
Publisher's Description
"Except for painting and gardening, I’m useless", Claude Monet wrote to a friend, preferring a life in Giverny, 3 km away from Vernon on the Seine downstream from Paris. He went there in 1883, initially remodelled the home and garden complex and made an ornamental garden out of Clos Normand. Later, in 1893, he bought a large area across the street, now the Chemin du Roy, where he could create his famous water lily pond and the Japanese bridge, which would be the key motif in his work from 1897 until his death on 5 December 1926. The street is partly the reason why there was no other view of the bridge for Monet, and it is said that he had his gardeners wiped the dust of the lilies every day, until he finally had the road asphalted at his own expense. Darren Almond, born in 1971, now lives in London and works mostly on elaborate photographs taken under a full moon. He has progressed through his participation in 1997 at the legendary exhibition »Sensation« via the Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2003 and not least by his nomination in 2005 for the Turner Price to become one of the outstanding British contemporary artists. After his exhibition at the Villa Merkel and the resulting cassette »Nocturne«, this publication, which contains new photographs of Monet’s garden, emphasises the sculptural floral motifs in Darren Almond’s photographic work. Also, the individual flower photographs can be separated from the book block, which is protected by a translucent plastic cover, in which a small signed picture of a polaroid with the famous lily pond has been inserted.
Publisher: Snoeck
Soze: 230 x 185 mm
60 pages with 31 coloured reproductions UV-varnished, glued and plugged in PVC, cover insert 162 x 137 mm signed by Darren Almond

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by kfroms on May 27, 2021 16:24:40 GMT 1, I borrowed this from Artspace ( the initial work was from both Emin and Sarah Lucas ) The work was made by cutting up Emin's old baby blanket and stitching it with yellow thread to match the very color combination of the Mark Rothko painting at the Tate that moved her to tears - with a label reading: FOR PRIVATE VIEWS AND OTHER STATE OCCASIONS. And that takes us now to the present work. Flash forward seven years to 2010, when Emin, now far more famous than her collaboratrice, was invited to do a pop-up shop-in-shop at Selfridge's department store in London, she made new Rothko Comfort Blankets, without Lucas's name, and with a slightly different tag, in an edition of only 100 - each hand signed and numbered exclusively by Emin Well, they sold out immediately, and are now considered highly desirable and elusive collectors items. Very cool, hadn't seen it before. I asked because we were reminiscing about an old friend last night and were looking online at an old Emin blanket that she made with Sarah. www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/emin-lucas-the-last-night-of-the-shop-3-7-93-t07605
I love her blankets! Shame she stopped doing them ( although I understand why )
