2 Central Park Banksys for sale @Bonhams July., by Momo on May 30, 2014 11:20:29 GMT 1, Ha just get the mag was just about to post this too. Here's a question, if you were in NY and saw the stand on the day but were only allowed to buy ONE canvas, which would it be? Would have to be a flower thrower for me.
In reality I believe most people who are real street art fans walked by in disgust that day, it just appeared to be a hack trying to make a quick buck off of banksy's visit and as opposed to supporting the forger they decided not to purchase in the same way most won't buy replica canvases online. Its just my opinion but on principal I would have presumed they were fakes and not supported the faker.(later with huge regret)

The: Really? What am I missing? thread, by Momo on May 28, 2014 11:14:02 GMT 1, As I am compared to most (if not all) of you, a complete novice, there are artists and works I just don't "get" and I seem to be missing something with. (I hypothesize that I can't be alone in this and that others are also sitting at the back of the class with dunse caps on not having a clue) Thus I have created this thread and hope those with knowledge can impart it and those completely bewildered in some areas won't hesitate to ask. I understand first and foremost art and art appreciation and collecting is about what draws you in and what you like, I also believe that being educated on it should be enjoyable too and can open up a new appreciation, and lenses from which to view an artist and their work. Furthermore I will start off this thread with 1 particular artist, that for me I feel I just havn't "got" my head around yet but hope you can help me to: KAWS: OK, so he was an animator and illustrator and has built on his past in that world?? Has he a particular message or goal with his work? He uses the Xs for the eyes to represent death.? what is the death? is it childhood or for something those characters stood for but now don't? am I reading too strongly into this? the ears??? what's with them or is that a stylistic signiture ( oh a Kaws)?? I have to say that I really enjoy the toys and sculptures, but I don't get his prints and paintings. A lot seem to be close ups but why? like, is he showing us something or removing something? (not a great example but 1 that comes to mind of a piece of his is the spongebob prints) I think its tough to answer all these questions with an artist like kaws who has been around for awhile and his art has changed over the past decade. I also dont think there are always simple answers for questions like this, as there at times are multiple reasons an artist might do something. Artists also start with an idea that changes into something different as the image and artist evolve. Kaws I think is a perfect example of this progression aesthetically that started with graffiti, yet evolved into a more mature style influenced by his personal experiences but not relying on his past. Your best bet is to google interviews where the artist talks about his work in order to get a better grasp of what he might or was saying at a particular point in his career. Here is a recent talk with the artist that gives some insight into his beginnings.
Thanks man, much appreciated

The: Really? What am I missing? thread, by Momo on May 27, 2014 21:48:45 GMT 1, Go for what you like. Or if buying as an investment, go for what has the most financial potential. It's as simple as that. Art as something to enjoy or art as a comoddity. I agree but thats not what I was saying or asking wit the thread.
As mmmike was saying its about finding out more about the artists that just don't click for you in the hope you can reassess how you view the work.
Also standing up and saying "Oh s**t I never understood the hype either, your not alone"

What else do you collect?, by Momo on May 25, 2014 23:46:48 GMT 1, Been looking into collecting Japanese swords, missus is not too keen on the idea though how many do you own and can you share some pictures? While it's an amazing world of history and craftsmanship that still can not be fully understood, I can only advise to stay away as it will suck you in and never let go.... a little like another type of collecting we all know about. I was luckily able to pull away after a 3-4 years of collecting but to this day there is something thrilling about holding a 500+ year old blade in your hands and be able to trace it back to it's history right down to the family who made it and wars/battles it was in. If you do decide to jump I would highly recommend joining the Nihonto board and also check around Ricecracker as well. Lot of good people on the forum but just like here, good to do a little homework first and learn the basics and lingo. I'd be happy to PM you some pics of what I have but after a little surfing those links you will definitely get your fill of sword porn. I try to stay away from those forums now so they don't suck me back in Good luck! Holy crap they are awesome, wouldn't know what to do with em though, I hope you have them in a safe or something. I'll tell you why: One of my best friends works in his father's bar in lets say a crappy crappy part of town, One day he told me about one morning, around half 11 there was loads of shouting outside, went outside and 2 scumbags were taking lumps out of each other with Samurai swords (fake I imagine) point is as cool as they look and they are realy cool (also the whole craftsmanship and history so embedded in each piece )I wouldn't keep them in my house.

What else do you collect?, by Momo on May 25, 2014 12:40:23 GMT 1, I am starting to collect architecture books, partially for reference but I do really enjoy them. Never had a collection of anything as a child. This is a great book mate, it is huge!! We have one in the office but wouldn't mind my own copy. www.arcspace.com/bookcase/the-phaidon-atlas-of-contemporary-world-architecture/I have one swiss watch and can see how people get into it (i am trying not too!!)I love old modernist architecture, got out bidded on a nice house 2 years ago, i was gutted but the wife rightly stopped me. Will have my man cave finished soon in our new place,so along with art also looking to buy old modernist drawings and a nice old wine rack and get a collection going
Ah sweet hadn't come across this one, thanks man. Eileen Gray, Reitveld, murcutt and lewerentz my favourites at the moment.
When travelling, in a gallery in Kuala Lumpur I seen a hand drawn section by tadao ando. Was 6k BTW but unbelievable, completely blew me away.

New Beejoir @ Souled Out a week Friday., by Momo on May 21, 2014 14:17:17 GMT 1, I really like beejoirs work but why is this a "great idea". I just don't see anything in it really (obviously my opinion)
I do see a thread of relation to his previous work and a consistent theme, I see a level of detail and work at the top but I just don't see this as print I would want (again my opinion I know a lot will really like it) but where is the "great idea" (I not attacking a comment made by GP but simply don't see the x-factor thing in it is all at least as a print)
