Are we in an Art Market Bubble?, by Gentle Mental on Apr 26, 2021 16:13:04 GMT 1, The US fed printed so much money - even buying Dodgecoin turns a profit.
Money is THE bubble - folks are throwing it at anything that isn’t money.
Hopefully what they throw at don’t burst.
Most will.
I say collapse happens at August ish.

NEW ADAM NEATE PRINTS AND ORIGINALS portraits up, by Gentle Mental on Apr 24, 2021 10:13:30 GMT 1, Incredible that Adam Neate and Charming Baker, two excellent artists have ended up where they are. Goes to show how important having the right representation is.
Adding Micallef, Ian Francis and possibly Conor Harrington, Jonathan Yeo - amazing painters on the verge of global stardom possibly - somehow went out of style.
While Jonas Wood rocketed by being a Hockney wannabe - hmmm.

NEW ADAM NEATE PRINTS AND ORIGINALS portraits up, by Gentle Mental on Apr 24, 2021 8:19:26 GMT 1, They’ve been there since last year
I got the mail on these yesterday!
Gosh. These are lovely but unflippable I guess.

NEW ADAM NEATE PRINTS AND ORIGINALS portraits up, by Gentle Mental on Apr 24, 2021 1:44:20 GMT 1, 6 hours on the forum and not a squeak!
Is Neate that over? Like Baker Francis and Micallef? Too white and boring? Maybe the Lack political edge? Smell too privileged? These portraits are quite iconic and distinctively Neate.
The lack of interest is ... interesting.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Apr 16, 2021 3:23:31 GMT 1, 1st edition books - would be a fair comparison. The reader gets the exact same story, printing, book cover paper etc as the later editions.
Yet folks would pay more for the 1st. That’s the reality.
Especially if it’s a really good book by a famous writer.
However that shouldn’t stop folks from buying and enjoying the later editions - and making it a bestseller.
Great art is great art. Whatever the edition/version.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Apr 14, 2021 7:59:50 GMT 1, ive seen there are a few different versions 9the first 500, then the next release, and now the recent release). just wanted to check - are they all the same size / look? or do they look different? i know the 1st 500 had the label stitched and the subsequent ones have swing tags, but other than that are they the same in appearance? thankyou
The concept is the same. It’s extremely powerful whichever version. Like Duchamp’s Fountain. Doesn’t matter the Ed size to enjoy it. It’s a Banksy after all.
Price wise - as more and more swing tags get made the stitched tag will feel really limited. Once a stitched version hits an unsigned print price at some silly auction - the gap between the two will be forever widened.

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by Gentle Mental on Apr 3, 2021 17:05:24 GMT 1, Spots are clinical. Spins are random. Butterflies geometrical. These feel like a nice blend of Hirst’s idea of finding beauty.
Intentional chaos. Like Pollock. Life hope spring. Opposite of diamond skulls perhaps.
Reason why theses aren’t just Doctor office’s paintings is because these are part of Hirst’s unique journey. Simple as they are.
A one minute doodle by Picasso takes decades to happen.

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by Gentle Mental on Apr 3, 2021 15:52:35 GMT 1, Giclee silkscreen litho are all ways of applying ink on paper. All using machines. All checked and approved by the printers and artists. If the artist is happy with the giclee it’s art. And in most cases it is - Frederick’s, Hirst, Parla, Ricther etc As litho and silks just can’t get the colours right.. Doesn’t have to be done by an ancient technology to make it special. It just has to be right by the artist.

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by Gentle Mental on Apr 3, 2021 10:12:08 GMT 1, The aluminum panel is just the support on the back so it has nothing to do with the reflectiveness of the prints themselves. The glossiness IMO is caused by laminating the prints to the back panels.
Anyone has a photo of how reflective it is?

Being big is great! Hirst’s work works best when it’s HUGE.

Faile NFT launching tonight 18:30 (EST) / 23:30 (UK time), by Gentle Mental on Apr 1, 2021 0:15:57 GMT 1, If only these were on paper. Or comes with a physical version as well. Like the kings of Leon album.
NFTs would make great COAs.
Physical Artists would need to up their animation skills to really make the most of this medium.
The only thing nice about these is the fact they were the first from faile.
Pretty disappointed.
Mining fees are nuts.
Baby steps.

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by Gentle Mental on Mar 13, 2021 16:29:06 GMT 1, Here’s the ‘hanging mechanism’ on my recent H4-5. It’s a thick 1”x1” channel affixed to the back that makes it a breeze to hang and sturdy as ever. Better quality and much more effective than the hooks on the NHS editions. Hoping Virtues will come with the same hardware.
Thanks! Excellent news! All prints should be this easy to hang!

Any other art of this Ed size price at this range?
Micallef? Hockney’s book print?

NFT Art , by Gentle Mental on Mar 12, 2021 11:01:31 GMT 1, Will you honestly not buy a Banksy NFT at the usual Banksy print launch price of £500-1k?
I... don’t ... think... so....
I mean Blu’s Moto deserves to be an NFT. As does Christian Marclay’s The Clock. Or any of Abramovic performance. Even a cold stare. A Gursky mega high res. And yup Hockney’s iPad drawings.
If the art is good. It’s good.
NFT is just the tech that makes it accessible to more.
More artists more collectors more art. less barriers of snooty galleries shipping and exchange rates taxes even.
Ok. That’s all from me. See you at the KAWS NFT bun fight thread!

NFT Art , by Gentle Mental on Mar 12, 2021 2:10:09 GMT 1, How much would a full res NFT of Banksy’s Game Changer fetch? Edition of say 300?
100k each - easy.
Point is - Crypto provides the best provenance and liquidity.
Far better than a signature and paper.
Which you or banksy could print with the said full res file.
Oh yes beeple is rubbish. As are most/all NFTs out there now.

NFT Vs Real art, by Gentle Mental on Mar 11, 2021 22:19:51 GMT 1, I don’t own any NFT. Just crypto currencies. Nothing is good art so far.
I’m just very excited by rhe possibilities.
Okay folks.
Let’s wait for that Kaws/Banksy/Hirst/Ai weiwei NFT release....
Oh and Hockney - he has loads in his iPad.
And we will revisit this thread. And see how everyone feels then.
$69000000!

NFT Vs Real art, by Gentle Mental on Mar 11, 2021 19:54:44 GMT 1, I think most folks are missing the point here. Most NFT art is shit now. 99 percent utter screensaver rubbish. But it will get better. Wait till the names you love jump in. They will. after this Beeple sale. NFT eliminates most if not all middleman costs. From galleries to printers to shipper and marketing monkeys. It can - go straight from Cindy Sherman’s eye to your OLED wall. Or your Epson printer. The artist could make physical copies that can be replaced upon request. With no fear of counterfeits degenerating their value. The advantages will only grow as the tech improves. As would the market.
I bet everyone from Ai Weiwei to Banksy to Kaws Hirst Murakami etc are all figuring out what is the most on brand way of doing this. Wait for it.

NFT Vs Real art, by Gentle Mental on Mar 11, 2021 10:26:03 GMT 1, It’s shit now. But D face has joined.
As will others when things improve, advantages undeniable and money way more lucrative for the creators and collectors.
We will all be on our keyboards all night bidding and bitching as we have done before with paper prints and printout COAs.
No more shipping insurance, creases and sun damage worries!
There will be blood. This too shall pass. The only constant is change. Time to move from zero to one. I’m thinking of ending things.
This prophetic post will be NFT’ed.

NFT Vs Real art, by Gentle Mental on Mar 11, 2021 4:35:52 GMT 1, Facebook evolved from MySpace. As films to DVD to streaming. And yahoo to Google. The list goes on.
It’s not the sites or the software - they get obsolete.
It’s the ideas that can’t be denied. Better tech will prevail - regardless of the companies running them.
I love my vinyls and silkscreens. But I listen to Spotify and stare at LED sceeens most of the time.
Crypto is the future. Read ”Life After Google” to get a hint.

NFT Vs Real art, by Gentle Mental on Mar 11, 2021 3:53:35 GMT 1, This is only the beginning. It will evolve and be better. All good tech does. It’s always shit at first.
I like the idea of physical piece linked to an NFT. Like the kings of Leon release.
This works well with giclee. If the physical piece gets damaged we can print another. The ownership/provenance is still intact.
It’s the ultimate, most fluid COA.
The current batch of art is mostly shit. It will get better when the big name non digital artists get into the game.
Time to load up your crypto wallet!!
