Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by kfroms on Feb 27, 2021 22:25:30 GMT 1, Thanks for the well thought out response aka you have no idea. If that was the case I wouldn’t have the gains on the banksy’s, Stiks, Pejacs, Hirst’s, Emin’s, Blake’s, I already own Given your collection, it's intriguing you're worrying about a $3000 piece, and you're using your kids education money to gamble on it. So I call BS
This. Given his exquisite collection he should be fine taking a massive gamble on a cheap Hirst. So i retract my initial comment and now advise to go for it. Buy as many as you can. Use fake names. Go go t Go.

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by kfroms on Feb 27, 2021 19:11:08 GMT 1, Evening all, Looking to purchase one of the edition to hang and enjoy, however I will be using cash that was destined for my shares Isa. I may need to sell in say 10 years for the kids education. My question is does anyone know of any previous drops that were a large edition and how they matured? I’ve done some research but can’t find anything, so trying to decide if I like it enough to forgo share appreciation/dividends.
Don’t. Just don’t.

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Feb 26, 2021 23:05:24 GMT 1, Not only do I like Sarah Lucas ( and her early work with Tracey Emin ), this is also one of the best book titles ever. Will be framed and hung in the girls hallway:

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by kfroms on Feb 26, 2021 8:49:27 GMT 1, I am not sure if it is only me but I am not a fan of the medium at all. It looks cheap to me if I am completely honest. I like the image though.
+1 I really dislike that cheap, glossy look. If i want a mirror on the wall I buy a mirror. That said I would buy one of those if it would be on a different medium / surface

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by kfroms on Feb 25, 2021 23:34:31 GMT 1, I decided to stay away from the glossy, plastic Heni editions. Just doesn’t work for me - particularly in this case where the original paintings were quite cool due to the texture.
Also, I fear these don’t age well. And they are huge.

Kaws what party (signed edition) book, by kfroms on Feb 23, 2021 17:29:36 GMT 1, Why some prîcks need to brag about grabbing a few is beyond me. Just say you managed to grab one even if you did manage to get a few for flipping.
This.
But why does Phaidon allow to buy multiples?

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by kfroms on Feb 18, 2021 19:53:15 GMT 1, Finally found one of these
This is lovely Ekap.
Can you advise a bit more detail about the piece? Can see it was an edition of 50, was it a photograph Tracy Emin took?
I remember one being posted a while back on here, cant remember by who, but also put a picture up of the building now.
Any detail would be appreciated here - lovely piece.
Can help you a bit as I posted about mine in the Best of 2020 thread: urbanartassociation.com/thread/168798/best-2020?page=2
It is a picture taken by a photographer ( Tom Bowditch ) of a Tracey Emin neon Installation at a shop on 46 Malden Road ( Kentish Town / Camden )
This was part of the Zabludowicz Collection Art Tour. Installation: www.zabludowiczcollection.com/events/view/kentish-town-art-tour

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kfroms on Feb 18, 2021 19:13:17 GMT 1, First batch is much bigger? I have one from the initial drop and another from maybe the third release and there is no difference. Maybe it’s just the most recent batch that is smaller there’s a lot of space around it in the box Bigger box?

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by kfroms on Feb 11, 2021 11:31:03 GMT 1, All that talk about Gerhard Richter reminded me to take mine out of storage.
Back in 2010, the Rheinische Post ( regional newspaper in Dusseldorf / Germany ) ran a special about Gerhard Richter. As part of this, GR came up with an exclusive piece called '20280'
A friend of mine worked at RP and as Gerhard Richter was known back then to not mind signing things, he asked him to sign one of the '20280' pages. Which he did.
One of my favourite pieces in my collection - not only do I love Gerhard Richter but it also reminds me of some fantastic years in Dusseldorf.
