Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Apr 11, 2023 21:48:56 GMT 1, Hirst said the spin paintings were his least favorite series. Which is why he let his customers deal with the tedious design process Clever man he is.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Apr 11, 2023 16:56:20 GMT 1, Regarding the small ones: I think they look really good ( albeit being small ) Anything bigger would be too much for me ( as in too much “ in your face “ )
But good to see that tastes are different.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Apr 11, 2023 11:50:44 GMT 1, After much deliberation, I decided not to buy one after all. The link to Damien Hirst was just too tenuous for me. I'm sure e-bay will be flooded with the damn things once they start shipping them out so it will be interesting to see how much they go for on the secondary market. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision or not. Believe it or not but I don’t care at all about the secondary market value as it will go on the wall. Crazy concept, I know….

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Apr 10, 2023 18:04:08 GMT 1, Winners have been announced... who was lucky my wife was! I’m pretty sure at least two of the winners are heavy discord users who got spin paintings from the studio visit. No luck here! Three to be precise. Whining pays off I guess! ;-)
There is a lot I like about this project but not sure I will pull the trigger. Maybe I will generate a fully random one at the last minute and go with it. Or not.

Forum Auctions • Banksy Marketplace 🇬🇧, by kfroms on Mar 28, 2023 18:18:31 GMT 1, Forum auctions must be embarrassed There is either not much money about or not much interest in Mr B’s work? Both I guess. these „Banksy only” auctions really need to take a looong break.

The cover picture looks to be the ltd edition burnt cover version but doesn’t state that it the info. jakechapmanstudio.com/ Thought those were sold out? Or maybe he found a box in the attic.
Good opportunity to brag:

Georg Baselitz 🇩🇪 German Painter & Sculptor , by kfroms on Mar 7, 2023 19:48:44 GMT 1, Love Baselitz and look forward to the exhibition but this print wouldn’t make the wall. That said there are nice options out there and prices are ( not yet ) hyped.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by kfroms on Feb 9, 2023 11:32:09 GMT 1, I've pulled the trigger on the set, some of the comments from the purists on here made me throw up a bit in my mouth. So many positives here, I could care less of they are giclees and bigger is better 99% of the time, but...... the glare/reflection is already driving me nuts and they're not even on the wall yet, I remember now why Ive sold every Heni print Ive ever owned (as many at a cost/a loss as profit) they just never look right. I really want to hang at least a couple of these so I'm going to take to my framers to see if there is anyway I can reduce the reflection, if I find a cost effective solution i'll let you guys know. Obviously could remove the acrylic layer and use museum acrylic but I'm guessing that could cost £1,200-1,500. Maybe adding a layer of art glass but would then need a frame and subframe and could end up being very heavy, possible 30kg+. I'm hoping there is some kind of film or treatment out there. I guess the only treatment out there to solve your issue is trying to flip them asap! :-)
Fun aside - out of principle, I stay away from the colourful Heni Mirrors and always find it both interesting and surprising that people are willing to add heavy framing cost to mitigate a problem which would be so easy to solve at source.
It puzzles me ever since the first of these dibond editions why Heni is not offering a matt / non glossy version.
Also, these Invaders won't age nicely at all.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by kfroms on Jan 30, 2023 11:27:05 GMT 1, Here's mine framed by Fine art Solutions in LA. I was not keen on them mounting the piece onto board The blacks are very black Similar to mine! My framer advised to basically leave as is with all creases etc and not try to flatten it.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kfroms on Jan 16, 2023 16:15:28 GMT 1, If only there would be a thread with all the framed mats, that would be a great help! Fun aside, always nice to see the different options people went for. Very douche! Never framed mine as no idea where to hang it but I just frame it now and then figure out where to hang it. Funny , since the NY, you speak a lot about “ douche “ on here ! 🚿 what does it mean 🤔 Nobokov on here thinks that framed Welcome mats are douche ( basically you are a douche bag if you have one framed, please google if you are not familiar with the expression )
:-)

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kfroms on Jan 12, 2023 15:10:41 GMT 1, Even though they were for a good cause, they still look terrible and ridiculous on a wall. It's way too small to be functional as a doormat. A doormat framed just screams "douche" if you have to explain to everyone why you have a doormat framed on a wall. I'm glad to have sold it years ago after feeling the regret of chasing Banksy fomo. You sound a bit like a douche, to be honest.
Happy to have one as well, certainly one of the better Banksy pieces given the story attached.
