Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Apr 4, 2021 22:18:29 GMT 1, Love the JR - nothing beats feeling the manual work going into the production of a book! Edit: Just checked out the one on ebay. Nice. But 715gbp is a bit steep, no? For a book, for sure. Depends if it's regarded as an "original" I guess. Nice thing to have but for sure you'd find a ton of your favourite authors signed first editions out there for that price.
Good point. See it as an original and it is actually good value for money. Anyway, a great piece.

Not only does the man himself have a really interesting and colourful CV, he was also a terrific photographer.
Manged to grab this signed first edition at Hatchards ( which will be the first store I will visit on April 12th! )
Nice long easter weekend everyone!

Christie's Art Auctions , by kfroms on Apr 1, 2021 11:57:42 GMT 1, Strong auction results = condition doesnโt matter anymore, everything sells at crazy prices
Weak auction results = no surprise - have you seen the condition report?
Funny.

Watch Collectors โ Buy & Sell, by kfroms on Mar 31, 2021 9:25:05 GMT 1, Anybody getting excited about the potential new models from Rolex? Love to see the new models safe in the knowledge I won't be able to buy them so I can just dream like being able to afford a signed Banksy print.
Nope - but for me there is only one Reference in the current catalogue which I like anyway
Rolex could do so many great things. But what they do is fiddle with details, make cases bigger and offer new dial colours. Boring and predictable.
Will be the same with this years expected updated Milgauss and the Explorer I

TateWard โข Art Auctions ๐ฌ๐ง, by kfroms on Mar 26, 2021 15:34:02 GMT 1, I know we had that discussion but: I don't. Whoever is in the market for an original Keith Haring ( or any kind of substantial investment in whatever object ) had to do his own due diligence. I fundamentally disagree with you on this point. People choose to shop at auction houses and with dealers because they are paying for their expertise, they are paying a premium for the due diligence that the vendor should be taking. You are approaching this situation from the position of someone who has knowledge and therefore, quite rightly, in some respects, you say they should have done due diligence themselves. In reality it simply doesn't work like that when it comes to art for the majority of, dare I say it, novice buyers. They buy on platforms like artsy and through auctions because they feel they are spending their $$$ with respectable and reputable vendors who are selling them real works, if something is sold to them as a Keith Haring through a public auction, filled with lots of other hot items like Banksy etc, who are they to argue or even consider that they're buying a fake. The fact that TW have been called on fake items multiple times recently by members of this forum and collectors outside of it would not be information your average buyer would know. What's done is done, and I dare say there will be another couple in the next sale, maybe even some of those very decorative subway signs with doodles on them. Like I said, I feel sorry for whoever bought them, they've just flushed 100k down the Swanee. Well, according to Daniel's post the buyer was fully aware what he bought ( not that I believe anything he says but hey....)

I hope a wealthy individual bought it & will make it accessible by lending it to a museum.....

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Mar 21, 2021 12:01:29 GMT 1, Something slightly different:
Reading 'American Psycho' for the first time in the early 90s left me shocked, repulsed and fascinated. A few years later, Bret Easton Ellis did a book reading for his new book 'Glamorama'. After the Q&A ( which I remember as being very weird, mainly because BEE is actually very weird ) I got both of these signed. Certainly in the stash which I would grab when the house is on fire.

Juergen Teller - Marc Jacobs Advertising 1988-2009 Almost 600 pages with all the Marc Jacobs ads. Fantastic!
My wife got this one:
Kate by Kate Moss ( Rizzoli ) with the Juergen Teller cover ( there are 8 or 9 different covers ) You may or may not like Kate Moss but there is no denial that she was breath taking in her early years.
