That would make these an Ed of over 10000!!! Over $30,000,000 sale.
Doubtful.

Damien Hirst H9 • The Virtues, by Gentle Mental on Mar 4, 2021 8:24:06 GMT 1, An hour to go - would Heni email us the edition size? Or do we find out on the print itself?
Can we tell from the order number ?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Mar 2, 2021 10:44:48 GMT 1, Sorry to have offended.
Crux of my point
Don’t worry about value. Don’t worry about getting a better one with sand or more stitches.
The concept is the art. It’s not the Mat.
Never meant to piss anyone off.
I just worded it after a large dose of yummy medication.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Mar 2, 2021 9:51:25 GMT 1, I think... the more being release the more valuable the first batch will be. The less valuable the rest will be (flip price). Supply demand etc etc whatever. It’s just how the market works.
I think it will be a sad day when flippers add sand and wear and tear to their recently brought mat to get more flip value. Much like crippling a child to get more money from begging.
The fact that these mats exist is sad enough. Keep the “desirability” factors to ourselves. Feels weird waxing lyrical about sand and stains on one’s mat. And inadvertently generating a new ) and unhealthy) measure of value.
These mats exist because of a real human tragedy. They are all equally heartbreakingly poignant.
Maybe- be glad if yours are new and stain free. It could mean things are improving. There are less used jackets. Less refugees. And sufferings.
Those who have one would know - it is the most powerful artwork in their collection. I don’t think there are pieces that moved me more.
Buy it. Love it. Whatever the condition; stitch etc.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Feb 21, 2021 4:45:00 GMT 1, It’s quite easy to game this - just submit a thousand email addresses and flip the week after for double easy. Don’t buy secondary folks. Patience!

Guides to starting a gallery?, by Gentle Mental on Feb 18, 2021 11:35:04 GMT 1, I’m in Singapore. Covid is quite well controlled. Rent has dipped substantially. The shopping crowd is back. I have good connections with local and international artists who could pitch in. I really Like the idea of creating a community space. Promoting fresh artists. Not the usual tourist/auction tat - although I Will be selling those to pay the rent as well. There will be an online store as well - folks in this thread get early early bird discount. Haha. Just leave a comment!

Thierry Noir 🇨🇵 Berlin Wall • French Street Arist , by Gentle Mental on Nov 7, 2020 7:39:31 GMT 1, I would like to understand one thing. All these sales are via Instagram. 2k+ GBP a sale. Now, I have notifications on but I’m not getting every story, so, Ho can people always be on the ball and ready to spend 2 grands so easily every time? I don’t want to doubt on the sales but it starts to be a bit suspicious. Why not opening a “vault” event like in GP?
Yes like GP it’s not sold out but claimed it is. Instagram - like this thread - works by new accounts from same team/guy.
Gagosian does it at auctions.
But I kind hope Thierry get on the bigger stage through real news and excitement - from real people who aren’t on his team.
Stik never did this. Neither did kaws. It’s just unfortunate if this is how money is made for a great guy with a good history.

Thierry Noir 🇨🇵 Berlin Wall • French Street Arist , by Gentle Mental on Nov 7, 2020 5:06:22 GMT 1, There is no boost. It’s the same batch that mysteriously vanished after years of being unsold at ten times less.
Adding and removing items is a way to wiggle the FOMO bait.
There I said it. Sorry Team Noir.
I seriously hope I’m wrong.
Please... Show me a sell out show. Or a few crazy auction prices. Or a recent write up about this new Thierry Noir craze.
Unlike Mr Doodle; this Thierry homepage/Instagram/forum selling out action just don’t match reality.
Sorry.

Anthony Lister 🇦🇺 Australian Contemporary Artist, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2020 6:17:39 GMT 1, Do you have to be an asshole to make great art? Being on the edge - could be a source of confidence and creativity.
Lister dances around the line perhaps too often. As did Picasso and Warhol - known abusers.
It was easier back then, I guess.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 8, 2020 4:41:32 GMT 1, same same but different.
So far the only measurable difference is financial... possibly 2x resale value of a tag one?
And i think - as with all unsigned 500 banksy eds - the first batch will rise - as more and more tag versions are released.
unless the sewn tag returns and everything gets reset again.
anything is possible.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 8, 2020 4:07:15 GMT 1, Why aren’t all batches sewn? Or tagged?
It can’t be a cost issue or a technical issue - as 500 were made at 500 pounds each - with no apparent problem.
Can’t be a time issue - The tag version is taking as long as they like.
Production didn’t dramatically get ramped up with the tag version.
My thinking is - it’s an artistic choice.
So why the switch, Mr Banksy?

PichiAvo 🇪🇦 Street Art • New Print Release , by Gentle Mental on Oct 6, 2020 5:53:38 GMT 1, Coming this week to StolenSpace. Those going please post pics!
ABOUT EXHIBITION StolenSpace Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of new work by PichiAvo. The show, ‘Marbles and Bronzes’ will explore classical sculpture, with the artists’ signature contemporary twist.
PichiAvo is a duo of street artists, Juan Antonio and Álvaro, both hailing from Valencia in Spain. Both trained in Fine Art and Design before they met on the graffiti scene in Valencia, which led to their formation of PichiAvo in 2007. Pursuing joint projects, they focused on skills and techniques to develop their recognisable style and showcase what defines them: graffiti and classical art.
They have achieved global recognition for their skills at uniting the connection between painting and sculpture in urban settings. Their innovative approach at creating these fusions reveals the beautiful balance that can be achieved between classical and contemporary art.
Working both outside and inside the studio, PichiAvo’s work experiments across all mediums – including painting, sculpture, and installation. ‘Marbles and Bronzes’ is a study of sculptures from the classical period, with specific focus on marble and bronze pieces. PichiAvo pay tribute to these classical masterpieces by re-representing them with a modern twist for a contemporary audience. The artists’ pay homage to original techniques and materials, which have allowed these sculptures to be preserved.
To register interest for this show please email or telephone +44 (0)207 247 2684.

Sam3 - New Silkscreens, by Gentle Mental on Sept 25, 2020 10:39:42 GMT 1, Love this. Too much crap out there that means nothing but a branded badge, a decorative fomo fluff, a rip off from a cartoon banksy wannabe...
Sam 3 is so so so underrated.
It’s craft and heart.

Do you frame and glass your canvas?, by Gentle Mental on Sept 20, 2020 7:47:25 GMT 1, Thanks everyone. Very helpful. As this is my first canvas being framed what is the best safest most reversible way to do it? I know it’s float mount or Mylar tips be good for prints but I’ve no clue what canvas mounting is like.
Thanks !!
