Gonefellow ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by james10 on Dec 17, 2016 1:16:33 GMT 1, I don't know guys. Please just make me understand here.. I am willing to buy a print and asking if anyone is willing to sell. Seriously, what is the big deal? I really don't understand.. I don't really care - but the issue I think people may have with you is your attempting to leverage something you don't have in your possession for something else - treating this work of art like a commodity instead of what it was intended for. You came to a community of (mostly) purist who appreciate the art for exactly what it was intended for - a "one of these things is not like the others" scenario. You were lucky enough to get the privledge of owning this work , maybe you come off as unappreciative ? Just my 2 cents - but I would trade my old lady for a print of that graffiti truck print i missed out on ok, appreciate your explanation. Probably I was a bit naive and apparently I was (and still am) totally underestimating the value people put on that print.. (hence, a commodity)
Still, I might not agree with the defition of "purist appreciating art for what it is" as probably everyone in this forum is selling/buying art, making it a commodity - although this might piss people off. Anyway, I really don't want to get in any debate here. That is not why I am here.
I am here just to learn and discuss art more than embrace the "who flips what" mantra or make sarcastic comments.
Truly sorry if I offended anyone, I just wanted to buy a print I liked.
Cheers

Gonefellow ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by james10 on Dec 16, 2016 21:52:07 GMT 1, I don't know how much is going to be worth. I just like the print very much..
Maybe one day buyers will realize there is no banksy behind it and will let it go.
I still think my offer is fair. I mean, I did say I would chip in cash, didn't I?
So if anyone is willing to sell, I'm here. Pm me

No I didn't. And I am happy with my farmer which I would sell only if I am going to buy a new gonefellow.
I'm not a compulsive collector. I do have the one print per artist policy (which I did break only to buy a second pose.)
Plus, it would have been a crazy move. As those who got a 75ed. of the graffiti truck probably got this 100ยฃ /100ed print also. So I know 99% it is not going to happen.
But you never know.. maybe someone passed on this one and wouldn't mind a swap plus some cash in

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by james10 on Dec 14, 2016 17:58:40 GMT 1, the UV glass it is expensive too, at least here in Italy. we are talking about a 20โฌ for anti reflective glass vs 180/200โฌ for a UV protected glass..
Anyway, what about not using spacers with the antireflective glass? Is what my framer says true or shoud i put spacers anyway, even if the print will look opaque?

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by james10 on Dec 14, 2016 17:07:46 GMT 1, my framer told me that an anti reflective glass (non UV) is a good choice when you are talking about a 3/400ยฃ print - of course you dont have to put it under direct sunlights.
She also told me that when it comes to anti reflective glass, you dont have to use spacers, as: 1) the print will not stick to it as the anti reflective glass is not completely flat (or something like that) 2) if you use spacers, the image will result opaque;
I do trust her as she does amazing frames, but what you think? Should i use no spacers with an anti reflective glass and not worry about the print sticking to it?

Should I be afraid to buy a Banksy?, by james10 on Dec 5, 2016 16:05:06 GMT 1, I wouldn't worry about Banksy deliberately crashing his own market. Instead, worry about rising sea temperatures, manmade pollution, global corruption, wage inequality, a world population that's breeding out of control, mass extinction events, the fact that you can't eat a Banksy artwork, and driverless cars. well i do. i really do. that is actually how i get acquainted with his work and after that with the urban art world! My avatar says it all.

Should I be afraid to buy a Banksy?, by james10 on Dec 5, 2016 12:45:51 GMT 1, If you're so worried, buy a cheaper end Warhol print, or something like that, at a reputable auction. It is not about me being worried. I'll put it on other words.
If I were Banksy (and again the "real one" far away from every BS conspiracy theory), at some point i might enjoy doing something like i said before. And that will become my masterpiece!
Imagine that up to now i just made art criticizing the art market itself and saying that "morons are buying my s**t" for thousands of euros. What about taking it to the next step: moving from denouncing it with my stencils to doing something that would actually screw up a system? do something that could actually bring all this thing down?
I'm talking about the last scene of fight club here - of course i'm not saying he will blow up skyscrapers with dynamite.. but figuratively he could do that making the whole market crash.
Why would I do that?
I dont know. maybe because i'm Banksy, and doing that is just part of my whole project. I will not be completely surprise if he'll does anything like this. In the end, it is what he says in some of his art already.

Should I be afraid to buy a Banksy?, by james10 on Dec 5, 2016 12:12:13 GMT 1, Hi everybody, lets make clear that this is just a rethorical question, as i (unfortunately) cannot afford to buy any of his works.
Lets say one day i'll sell all my prints, add some extra money and buy one or two Banksy. Is it going to be a smart choice?
Apart from the "buy only art that you like and you cant be wrong" mantra, we are not talking about a 300 pounds print here; when you are buying a Banksy you are not just buying art but also making an investment (and an expensive one).
Now, let's not take into account the whole conspiracy theory of him being a product pushed into the market by a few gallerists, and let's not question this aspect.
Banksy being "Banksy" it is a variable that should be put into account. What if one day he might go completely bananas and start releasing prints like there is no tomorrow with the only purpose to screw the international art market up?
so, should i be afraid to buy a Banksy?

THE CAGE OF THE BODY TO THE SOUL (New Sandra Chevrier print), by james10 on Nov 30, 2016 16:11:34 GMT 1, I dont know about this.. I mean, it is a nice print - althou it has its flaws (what about the central tooth?), but is 400usd. So we are talking about 400euros-ish at the current exchange rate, plus lets say 70/80 for the shipping costs, 80 for the custom fees.. it is a lot!
On one side, she is getting bigger and bigger, so maybe the next print will cost around 5-600 usd.
On the other side, if you miss this print, the next one is going to be pretty much the same as this one, as she is not really developing anything new here..
What to do? what to doooo?
I think i might buy it, and if i still cant make up my mind once i get it in my hands, i'll sell it to any forum member for the same price, taxes and shipping fees i bought it for
