Latest Banksy , by tartarus on May 7, 2017 21:12:47 GMT 1, Love it! How could something of that scale be done overnight without anybody noticing!? no one noticed the wrapped scaffolding that was up for a week beforehand. Once that comes down overnight there it is.

Happened upon some authentic Fairey and Swoon street pieces, by tartarus on May 7, 2017 11:07:00 GMT 1, ha ha fair to say that may be an over estimate on the face! Pretty sure he would knock you up a paste up on wood for a fair lump less than that!
Best chance youve got of turning that into a house, is to put legs on it and live under a table with a pretty roof!

Chuffed to f... with that!

Mehdi Ghadyanloo 🇮🇷 Mural Painter • Iran • Art For Sale, by tartarus on May 6, 2017 15:27:03 GMT 1, The added depth to those new paintings is fantastic. Best pieces hes done to date id say. And considering how much i liked his stuff from first finding it, thats pretty impressive.

Peter Blake - Dazzle Alphabet, by tartarus on May 6, 2017 14:37:07 GMT 1, wonder if the shrunken W is a nod to Eine. do you see space for a bigger W? id assume it could be done. Would be different angles to the one there, but dont see it being impossible to get them the same size.

Theresa May seeks General Election, by tartarus on May 6, 2017 12:50:58 GMT 1, Easy choice on the brexit side of things. Corbyn will negotiate Brexit, or May will force us into Brexile! Im totally lost as to why people dont get this. Surely their personalities alone direct you to that assumption.
No one wants to try and do a deal with someone who is just making demands. and if a deal is done that way, its always going to benefit one side or the other as someone will have to back down. Which will leave one side always feeling hard done by!
A calmly negotiated deal is most likely going to work for both party and be more likely to last!
And once you put all the public services, Tax issues, living standards etc etc into the mix, im just bemused as to how we are where we are, unless its down to constant washing over of tory mantra and rhetoric, or the unbearable media bias pushing people to want to be "on the winning team". i really cant see any reason to think the tory's have any interest in fixing anything!
Corbyn will bring Brexit (we already decided its happening!)
May will bring Brexile! Either by her hand (UK Tax Haven) or by the hand of Europe (delusional, living in another galaxy etc etc)
Media bias in this election is beyond anything ive ever seen. Its not even subtle, its just full on in your face! Not what id call a good sign for the future!
1993 criminal justice act will be bitting this country hard in the arse anytime soon if you ask me.

Stiks coments on German show at Kronsbein Gallery , by tartarus on May 6, 2017 11:45:48 GMT 1, There's this photo of the two guys (Kronsbein and Lalov) standing in front of the huge yellow container piece (most likely the one from Poland). You can see the piece also on the Kronsbein Facebook account. They say it's not for sale but regarding their price list for the STIK prints and canvases I guess that's the one they value with 200k - don't you think so? ah, no i didnt think it was that piece. partly because i assumed either they were serious about not selling it, or not stupid enough to point out that they were selling it! Also theres no way anyone would pay 200k for a piece that the artist doesnt want out there, has dubious history and has no COA and can never get one. But that said, you may well be right.
The whole show is a joke really, feel a bit sorry for anyone buying here whatever the price! . I think one of Stik's mail outs said he wouldnt be authenticating or COA'ing anything from this show anyway. cant remember exactly what it said, but mentioned something about it, due to the gallery having previously created the fake eggs with his artwork, therefore casting doubt over anything they have.

Id be interested to know what the hell that is! Well, you know what that is, right? Attached to the same Kronsbein E-Mail there was a picture of the 200k piece I guess... there is? i cant see it.

Stiks coments on German show at Kronsbein Gallery , by tartarus on May 6, 2017 0:49:49 GMT 1, just got the latest email from the gallery. Came as a surprise to me, but apparently "two works from the art collection of Galerie David with Kalashnikov of Blek le Rat, who is regarded as ancestor of stencil art, and Toxic Mary double of his not so well-known successor Banksy" always good to get a friday chuckle in though! I hope I don't spoil your weekend but I guess that's just a translation error. In German the Kronsbein mail says "Toxic Mary double von seinem nicht weniger bekannten Nachfolger Banksy" which translates "Toxic Mary double from his no less known successor Banksy" meaning "who is just as well-known". I hope that's proper English now - I'm German as you can tell by my accent... ;-) But if you'd like to have a real good chuckle: Just check their STIK price list again! ;-) ah i see! well it makes some sense at least! what i had was from google translate.

Stiks coments on German show at Kronsbein Gallery , by tartarus on May 5, 2017 20:13:49 GMT 1, I received this promo sleeping baby a few weeks ago from the gallery, I even watched the exibition vid. I'm glad the artist has made the statement of non involvement if only to clarify his position. Hope the gallery reflects and amends their promotional blurb. have you got a pic of the back?

Christopher Wool 🇺🇸 Stencil Letters • Book • Print Release, by tartarus on May 5, 2017 10:23:16 GMT 1, Destroys? well if that isnt a bit over the top as an explanation god knows what is! Looks like a couple of slashes with a razor blade or stanley blade so should be easy fixed. Bloody pointless thing to do, cant imagine what the hell he got out of doing it! Insurance scam? It all seems a bit fishy to me. Very odd. Would be weird if it was, anything is possible of course! But the damage looks so minimal and clean the repair isnt that hard or expensive. I think the publicity idea is probably spot on. Patch the back, touch up, back on sale in a week!

Instagram VS Gallery, by tartarus on May 4, 2017 11:30:42 GMT 1, I just find it much nicer to buy direct from artists. Its just nicer to have some chat etc while going through the process. I know you gallery guys play a roll in getting art and artists out there, but where you may have a nice long list of clients built up over years, the internet has access to almost everyone. So its actually a way wider market and so much easier to access than going to a show somewhere.
Your other problem from it is the impulse buying that goes on in the art collecting game. I know ive done it with most things i have, see it, have to have it, buy it, worry about finding the bill money some other way! So basically because the internet is always open, my money is often spent before i even get up to go to a show. Even if i try to stash some for a show, one must have turns up and its gone! The pitfalls of instant gratification in humans.
In my mind one thing is pretty stand out about the gallery experience and it always did, very few galleries go to any effort with the space. NOT an attack, theres lots to do. BUT the biggest thing a gallery can give an artist is an immersive experience of their art, bring the buyer litterally into the artists bubble. When i walk into a gallery with a bunch of pieces hung on white walls, my brain just goes straight to meh, my flat looks more interesting. Now my flat is pretty wall clogged so theres plenty to see, but that means a gallery needs to be soo much more, just to get my attention.
The other thing i see here, is that there may well be a split between collectors and investors going on. I buy what i want, yes i hope maybe they will go up in value, but i dont care. as a collector it doesnt matter, so where i buy it and what happens afterwards isnt relevant. An investor on the other hand may well think they need your guidance and experience and want to know the artist has representation and help progressing. Problem there, is that most of us realise that far to many galleries are not representing artists, they are just turn and burn. So get artists in, dont do much, if the artist takes off fast they will keep them, if not they just bin them off and grab the next one. so with that happening, its not always worth considering if the artist is currently represented.

Faile - Stories of Love in Brown ed of 17, 2008, by tartarus on May 1, 2017 23:05:44 GMT 1, Thanks for all the kind words, this was my first FAILE I ever purchased, bought it from the infamous SACKED. It is framed with archival tape to museum quality. My frame now works at MOCA in Tucson AZ, so rest assured it is framed properly. What does it do there?
---------------------------------------------- Read more about The Street Art World---------------------------------------------- Works is stretching it, apparently it just hangs around there a lot.
