Jean-Michel Basquiat 🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York • Graffiti Art , by South Bound on Oct 21, 2015 21:07:43 GMT 1, What's funny to me is anyone could take a high-res photo of his work, print their own screen print and it would be every bit as authentic as this. randomname you just nailed the very essence of the problem with this piece but as Wearology illustrated, if it has significant value to you personally, then who is to tell you different. At least the estate didn't spin some story of how Basquiat intended on releasing this image before his death as was done with the Haring Icons. I had always been told that icons was in production when Haring passed away, hence the lack of signature. That it was not some shady deal by the estate.

Banksy HW only make £37,500 at Phillips today****, by South Bound on Oct 15, 2015 20:19:32 GMT 1, The last lot in the auction made me laugh! As many of you might already know, Jerry Saltz is the art critic for New York magazine and is definitely worth following on Instagram and Facebook. A few years ago after a Richter painting sold for a record $34.2 million at auction, Saltz offered to pay any artist $155 plus the cost of materials for a fake-Richter. This was partly because, like the rest of us, he can't afford to spend millions on a genuine Richter but predominately because of his dislike of the absurdity of it all. The artist who Saltz ended up buying a fake-Richter from was Stanley Casselman and you can read about the whole things here. I mention all this because the last lot in this auction was one of Casselman's faux-Richters which came about as a result of Saltz's challenge. It sold for £74k earlier today - all very meta! hilarious Instagram, but definitely not safe for work

Nothing for sale, by South Bound on Sept 30, 2015 2:27:35 GMT 1, I get the whole concept behind the rules for people posting their "For Sale" thread. But if we are gonna bust some guy's chops about posting a "For Sale" thread on his 51st post, then something has to be done about the "For Sale" threads that keep going to the top of the board with each new post. There is one thread near the top right now that was originally started on July 20th and dude keeps adding stuff and bumping essentially turning this forum into his own personal store. To me that is more annoying and detrimental to this forum then a newbie posting a "For Sale" thread. What thread are you talking about? pm'ing you

Ron English Print 🇺🇸 Popaganda • Pop Culture • Toys, by South Bound on Sept 23, 2015 15:52:28 GMT 1, I think it looks great, not really my style. But I dig it, the detail on it is fantastic. Nice work by PTA (I have definitely been hard on them in the past).

Maya Hayuk 🇺🇸 Street Art • New Release • Art For Sale , by South Bound on Sept 18, 2015 13:53:42 GMT 1, Yes, it looks cool but I am totally turned off by her art & her pricing of her art. Her style has been done 30 years prior & her pricing is way out of line. You're contradicting yourself. It looks cool, but you're turned off by her art? Out of curiosity, why exactly do you think her pricing "is way out of line?" Because it does end up selling out, right? So it would seem her collectors disagree with you. And I suppose some might bring up the PTA release, but I'd challenge them to show me an artist that hasn't had a below average release at one point. Or one that has a completely unique style that no one has ever come close to doing before. i wouldn't call the PTA release below average (at least I liked it) I just think the pricing was overly ambitious.

Dude has under 10 posts (this thread was his first post). Original post was made when member had been on here for less than 30 days. He is selling sketchy / possibly stolen art.

New Pose Print – SPIRAL, by South Bound on Sept 2, 2015 23:05:27 GMT 1, Amazed that this is still available, yet if this a Martin Whatson or some dude on a cow it would have sold out in seconds. Your amazed? I'm not. Im a big fan of POSE and have a HF "Burn" and "Blot" but when I saw this image on wood and on hpms that were sold few weeks ago, I was put off by the image. I knew a print was coming but I was just not a fan on this one. It seems most people feel the same away since plenty are still available. I love his work and I feel "Let down" because of the image. Yes, others like it and thats nice but I cant find one thing I like about it. Not even the colors . I will be looking out for his next image though. Hope its a good one so I can add to the collection. BTW, not sure if you were comparing Whatson to Pose but there is no comparison. POSE all day. Cant even compare the quality of work. Whatson has been heading the other direction. You can get plenty Whatson stuff on ebay for dirt cheap now a days. People seem over his scribble. Except for Norwegian supporters of course. what I meant was that I was surprised because MW and Steiner catch or caught a lot flack for there work on this forum, while Pose typically gets a lot of love so I am surprised because MW never has problems selling out in minutes (And Steiner's cow print sold out relatively fast as well)
