New Edition from DRAN, by tobeannounced on Dec 24, 2016 1:42:57 GMT 1, Really frustrating that these didn't go out to the general public... anyway, if you have one for sale, hit me with a pm. These were available to the public, you had to send an email to the gallery. I'm just being a pessimist, I sent a mail as soon as I saw on insta they where teasing something new from Dran, sent another mail when they where revealed, haven't heard from them at all... in my head, that's not "general public" availability.

Barbara Kruger ๐บ๐ธ Graphic Design โข Art For Sale, by tobeannounced on Dec 16, 2016 19:55:09 GMT 1, Hairbland - I have seen the different framejobs on google, but they don't really help me in regards to the concerns I had pertaining to the bag unfolding over time.
@luchini - There was one on eBay just a few days ago for 950 USD, but I can't seem to find it right now. As far as I have been able to gather that's the going rate for these.
The bag is from 1990 and was made in an edition of 9000, so there should be a lot of them floating around... but due to it being a functioning bag and that they gave them away for free at one of her showcases, most of them have (probably) been used and thrown away. But still, it is a rather cheap (compared to her other works) way of getting a legit Barbara Kruger on your wall, and it looks amazing :-D
I was very lucky to stumble across one in a small antiquarium/gallery in Zรผrich for just under 300 USD... a real bargain in my opinion.

Barbara Kruger ๐บ๐ธ Graphic Design โข Art For Sale, by tobeannounced on Dec 15, 2016 20:28:49 GMT 1, I just bought this paper bag from Barbara Kruger and could really use some framing tips, as I am a little bit lost on ideas. I was thinking of a simple box frame, but I am nervous that the bag might somehow unfold or open just a little bit over time, and I really don't want to start glueing og taping it shut.
I thought maybe some of you guys had tried framing irregular stuff like this and might have some good tips or creative ideas.

Japanese Artists , by tobeannounced on Dec 9, 2016 19:31:19 GMT 1, I just bought my first Takashi Murakami print and have been trying to dig into the japanese art scene, but find it a bit hard to navigate do to the language barrier.
Are there any artists any of you guys can recommend that I should be on the look-out for?

Buying art from a gallery... can I negotiate with them? , by tobeannounced on Dec 1, 2016 9:16:41 GMT 1, I have never paid full price from a gallery, when all is said and done, it's a business and times are rough.
What type of discount you can get is an entirely different matter, everything above 15% and you are starting to cut into their core-profit.
Personally I would ask them directly what their lowest price was, considering you are buying both and that you are aware that they have been unsold for 8 years. Almost regardless of what price they then give, I would write back politely, that I had envisioned something a bit lower and that I was going to have to pass on the offer. More than likely, they will write you back with a different offer, trying to secure the deal.
I do this all the time, and on my last 3 purchases from galleries, I have had 20-30% discounts, and these where from artists that sell out fairly quickly (Roy Lichtenstein, Barbara Kruger & HuskMitNavn).
If they are not willing to give you any kind of discount, they are either really bad at doing business or they have some motives that go beyond just selling the art, for example if there is some prestige involved in having the art/artist represented.

Smaller pieces?, by tobeannounced on Nov 17, 2016 1:56:52 GMT 1, I am always on the look-out for interesting new pieces, but often find my self holding back because of the sizes, as I simply think that they become to dominating compared to the rest. I try to keep a balanced display of pieces in assorted sizes and have a select few larger items that deserve the extra attention and can stand the test of time.
Lately I've been passing on anything above an A2 size, and I've been increasingly frustrated to see that prints as large as 100 x 70 cm are becoming the norm.
Do any of you know of any interesting pieces that have come out, that are smaller in size? and are there any artists, that I should be checking out that offer smaller size prints?

Tribe called quest - cars of rap Print , by tobeannounced on Nov 16, 2016 15:44:20 GMT 1, I would 100% buy this if I knew what the other 4 cars would be based on. I'm a huge hip hop head - but also somewhat of an elitist, and I wouldn't want to risk having to buy a Rick Ross or Ace Hood inspired print, just to complete the series, hahaha.
Also, what are the measurements?

Barbara Kruger ๐บ๐ธ Graphic Design โข Art For Sale, by tobeannounced on Nov 5, 2016 2:22:08 GMT 1, As I don't really know where to post it correctly under the "Art Wanted" segment, I thought I might as well post it here.
I am on the look-out for the Culture Vulture print by Barbare Kruger from 2012. Everytime I locate it, it slips right through my hands, I have been able to track one down in a New York gallery, but they want 8000 USD, and that's more than double what it usualy runs for.
