Thierry Noir ๐จ๐ต Berlin Wall โข French Street Arist , by kfroms on Aug 23, 2020 19:56:07 GMT 1, Not sure how long he can continue to bring out these mini canvases at an increase everyday. Strange strategy and not sure it looks great. Totally agree.ย Happy for artists like Thierry to make money over flippers, but there's a tipping point where these will start to sit unsold.ย He's making up for lost time but I'm slightly worried for him that it may come sooner than expected. Very happy to be proven wrong though.ย ย
Not saying they do it but as know one really knows if they actually sell he can drive the price as much as he wants. A Mini for 1500? Declared โsoldโ after 4 minutes. And so on.....

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Aug 20, 2020 19:48:14 GMT 1, I have one and it's pretty good! I think the signature is printed, but it still looks very well. Your comment made me look closer at mine - really hard to say but I think it is hand signed. Here the pic of 'my' signed copy. Do you mind checking if identical to yours?

Forum Auctions โข Banksy Marketplace ๐ฌ๐ง, by kfroms on Aug 20, 2020 19:21:35 GMT 1, Everyone here acts like they don't know the advantages of leveraging debt. Loans are not a bad thing when properly managed and can serve as a wonderful option for certain people. Of course - if you know what to do and understand the risk, go for it.
It just feels like too many amateurs are invited to play the game.

Question how far that point is away. Maybe months, maybe years.

What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by kfroms on Aug 19, 2020 14:48:47 GMT 1, I can highly recommend the โElectronicโ exhibition at Design Museum in London.
Well done, amazing exhibits , great soundtrack by Laurent Garnier and some pretty spectacular installations. And you can even dance. To Chemical Brothers. Including strobe and fog. Like it was in the good old days.
Will add some pics / videos later.

Can you let us have some examples / direction regarding style or look?
Makes it much easier to help as there is so much different stuff out there.

Same here. The latest Boris Johnson like U-turn is my favourite so far. Now I am waiting for the OP to tell how much he got offered per print and that we can all f*ck off.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by kfroms on Aug 3, 2020 9:33:26 GMT 1, Flatten them a bit ( in a sleeve, for example ) and then live with the result. Its a cheap gift print on flimsy paper, so its fine if the look is a bit 'street'
Here is mine framed, btw. With Art Glass and a Plexiglas backside.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by kfroms on Aug 1, 2020 12:31:34 GMT 1, Not exactly the latest buy, but finally got round to framing and hanging 10 of the Dran Dessin du Jour prints from his London show a while back. Pretty chuffed with how they've turned out having framed and hung them myself.
Lovely. That one brown frame would do my head in though.

Banksy ยฃ10 โข Di-Faced Tenner, by kfroms on Jul 29, 2020 20:13:59 GMT 1, Not shipping /not accepting returns is a profitable business.
Mr SL paid himself 525,000GBP in dividends for the year ending April 2020 ( the profit of Laz Consultancy / now called Laz Emporium was 457,958GBP )
He is probably on a beach, drinking and laughing.

Hirst prices, by kfroms on Jul 28, 2020 14:33:11 GMT 1, Agree - lack of transparency in the Art world has always been an issue if it comes to actual 'market value' , paid prices, manipulation etc.

Hirst prices, by kfroms on Jul 28, 2020 10:42:55 GMT 1, Hint, something big happened in 2008. But why are other artists achieving new auction records all the time and Hirst is lagging behind? The whole market was down in 08/09 but has since more recovered....

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by kfroms on Jul 27, 2020 20:15:57 GMT 1, It usually takes me a couple of visits to Magnum to decide so not sure yet what to do. In any case, it will be less than usual. Maybe only the Enri Canaj and put it next to the Welcome Mat. www.magnumphotos.com/shop/collections/square-prints/magnum-square-print-solidarity-enri-canaj/
I frame all of my in the same way, colours depend on the motif. I want to keep the frames as small as possible & they all have a Plexiglas backside.

First Time in Prague and Vienna: Things to Do/See/Eat/Drink?, by kfroms on Jul 18, 2020 15:51:58 GMT 1, As mentioned above, go to Museums Quartier in Vienna. If short on time , focus on the Leopold Museum. The Klimt and Schiele works on show are stunning.
Have a sandwich and a beer at Trzesniewski, just off the main shopping street. An old institution which is also fairly unique. www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g190454-d714240-Reviews-Trzesniewski-Vienna.html
Go to Naschmarkt in the evening and eat a 'eitrige' Bratwurst ( its a sausage filled with cheese ) - eitrig translates to 'purulent' which is how this thing looks. Its tasty tho.
If you have the time leave Vienna and go for an 'Heurigen' www.wien.info/en/shopping-wining-dining/wine/heurige-2

Finally got around to frame my Banksy GDP Rat. Went for a clean a simple version. No flattening, clean frame. Perspex back.
