Banksquiat. Boy and Dog in Stop and Search, by kfroms on May 5, 2023 15:50:33 GMT 1, Not talking it down or questioning his place in art history, it’s just a generally deflated market and they’ve priices it high. It might even pass. Agree it might pass. Though it only takes 2 big spenders to set a new auction record. Long term this would be a solid investment even in the estimated range. It wont pass. the piece has a guarantee on it so it will sell even if there are no bidders.

Banksquiat. Boy and Dog in Stop and Search, by kfroms on May 5, 2023 15:45:18 GMT 1, I always have to chuckle when I read “talking down prices…” on this forum. There is maybe a handful of people in the art world who can actually influence prices and these guys are certainly not on here. :-)
Anyway, this is an amazing piece & curious to see what this goes for. Estimate does feel on the high side….

Very Nice, are the signed ones only available from the shop, or can you buy it online? If you can’t find them online, send Hatchards an email. They are very nice to deal with!!

Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on May 4, 2023 17:29:37 GMT 1, Went to the Jeremy Deller book launch at Hatchards. The collectors edition with the signed and numbered print is really nice. And I like the legal notice and the threat of dying a horrible death if I’d sell the print for a profit. Iris, who is approximately 13 years old and drew the cover of the book was there as well and signed my book too.
Grab a copy!

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by kfroms on Apr 30, 2023 11:00:35 GMT 1, Finally mine! I've been looking for years to get hold of this Basquiat & Warhol pics by Ricky Powell and I finally got it (and a very good price) through Chiswick Auction. Great experience with them... Great photo … What was the date the photo was taken? If I remember correctly it shows JMB and AW walking to the opening of their show at Tony Shafrazi in NY in 1985 (?) google should give you a good amount of results.

Btw Lroy - still haven’t been at Saatchi, hope to go early next week.

Record Turntable , by kfroms on Apr 21, 2023 11:34:06 GMT 1, All I would say is that a lot of music made in the late 80s and 90s in the acid house, garage, hardcore and jungle genres were recorded onto tape and never released on any other medium.
This is why I keep a decent-quality cassette deck; a vintage JVC KD-A8 since you ask. Releasing new music on the medium is pure hypetrain, but working - a friend's band released a ltd ed 1000 cassette last year and made more money on that than on ther combined streaming & vinyl sales in the same year.
And as for record decks, 100% agree with the posters above - the 1210 has never been beaten but the AudioTechnica is a good second-best and better-suited to OP's request.
1210s should always come in pairs, of course I can spot NAD! Had an amp and tuner from them for ages. Lovely stuff

in the meantime SL1210 MK2. 30+ years old and works a treat.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Apr 19, 2023 19:13:16 GMT 1, Thats the big question. Ideally I want a circular frame for my small round one. Darbyshire’s quote is understandably very heavy ( 800£ plus VAT ) so not sure what to do. That said I am sure someone will come up with a solution by the time those are sent out. Will definitely put it behind museum glass. For which size canvas? For the small round one ( 23cm diameter )

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Apr 19, 2023 10:43:14 GMT 1, How are people planning to frame these? Would normally put a print behind UV/museum glass but with it being on a stretcher it lends itself to a floater frame. Thats the big question. Ideally I want a circular frame for my small round one.
