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.

BANKSY | MEDITERRANEAN SEA VIEW 2017, by kfroms on Jul 28, 2020 19:44:22 GMT 1, Hmmmmm. That was rather dull and uninspiring bidding. Hoped it would do better.

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

Your latest Art Purchase?, by kfroms on Jul 17, 2020 14:24:50 GMT 1, 'Scheisse', from an Edition of 45 by the wonderful C O Paeffgen (there is a French and English version as well, if that's more your thing )
Finally got around to frame my Banksy GDP Rat. Went for a clean a simple version. No flattening, clean frame. Perspex back.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kfroms on Jul 16, 2020 14:50:21 GMT 1, I got lucky. What I really do not understand is that they allow to buy 2. Doesn't that invite flipping? And No, I didn't buy 2. It does say if you got an email your only guaranteed to be able to buy until it is sold out. Not everyone who got the email will get one. i think that answers that. Yes, I read that as well. Still bizarre though that , at least in theory, they let people check out 2. Anyway, I got my order confirmation.

Magnum Square Print Sale Password?, by kfroms on Jul 16, 2020 8:13:06 GMT 1, I work in the fashion industry hence curious to see what the collab with Vogue will look like. That said I have to be really picky now as space, even for a small print, is scarce.

Banksy Monkey Poison, by kfroms on Jul 3, 2020 15:25:48 GMT 1, So the Banksy bombed, most likely bought by the guarantor. No surprise after it passed twice. I still dont get why they kept shopping this around.....
Apart from this it was a pretty strong auction, particularly some good big ticket items.

Friedrich Kunath ๐ฉ๐ช Print Release โข Show News โข For Sale, by kfroms on Jul 1, 2020 17:40:12 GMT 1, These 20-something kids have only been in the game a couple years and many of their supporters came from here. Shame Curtis and Christian and now saying f off like they're PACE or something. Why even advertise? Have 'inquire' and sell all on the quiet, job done rather than this silly little facade. Agree. Feels like they are working (too) hard to show the world how great they are.
Not sure what exactly their goal is but I bet they want to become a 'proper' gallery, representing artists ( and not just getting the odd, un- planable print release )

Phillips Art Auctions โข New York, Hong Kong & London, by kfroms on Jun 26, 2020 20:28:20 GMT 1, Really strange that Phillips is trying to sell this for a third time in short sequence. Usually, burnt works tend to disappear for a while or are shopped around in private sales.
Sothebys or Christies wouldn't touch this so close to having sold twice.
Curious to see what happens this time.

Not on pics, unfortunately.
The original ones are on a thick, sturdy paper. Most copies on thinner poster stock which makes buying online a bit risky.

Julian Opie ๐ฌ๐ง Statuette โข Pop Art Portrait โข Lenticular , by kfroms on Jun 23, 2020 9:36:35 GMT 1, Always liked this Everyoneowes, can you give me a bit more information on it? Seen it as a poster, was it a print as well? Any background information would be much appreciated.
It is called โwoman taking off Menโs shirtโ , from an unsigned edition published by K21 Kunstsammlung NRW in Dusseldorf Its a screenprint, size 100x60cm. There is some small text bottom left and right in the white frame.
Edition size is unknown but estimated to be around 1,000 They got quite expensive ( I paid 200gbp for mine a few years ago ) recently and there are plenty pf (good) copies on ebay.
