Jan 28th Lazarides Auction..., by daveart on Jan 28, 2015 15:13:25 GMT 1, Hey all... great feedback so far.. thank you ! I edited the list above .. hopefully I got everything
Nuart Festival - I agree the body of work there isnt earth shattering.. it's more that 10 + years ago there wasnt a Bonhams, Sothebys, Christies, major gallery network for the current artists.. and now It's so main stream that Bonhams is a player in Urban art. So .. is this a moment where we see people look back and say remember when Bonhams did the Lazerides show and right before that there was the Sothebys show... etc.
Honestly .. 10 years ago .. i was just buying some of this new urban art because it was cool and cheap. if i had the money i would have been buying Harings and Warhols.. and now .. poof.. banksy, kaws, etc.. not a huge price difference now anyway.
I have seen the transformation of Wynwood in Miami over the last 10 years. 5+ years ago people would scare you from even going down there. now its all nice and lots of paid for walls, etc. i'll go with the side of that is OK for the scene. A lot of the artists are fantastic whether it is paid for or illegal and i give credit to anyone that will stand in the sun/snow/whatever and pour their soul out on a wall for everyone to see. but yes, definitely a big change from 5-10 years ago. i think it also lets in Swoon, Hayuk, etc.. and other female artists that have gained recognition

Jan 28th Lazarides Auction..., by daveart on Jan 27, 2015 17:25:43 GMT 1, <EDITED for feedback received !ย >
Some of you may not remember back in early 200'sย Urban art was fighting to 'be accepted'ย to be 'recognized' , etc..ย ย ย Auction houses were shy to even carry some of the new artists and then slowly a few artists started to be recognized...ย ย so i was thinking.. what are the top 5-10 moments along the way from 200X - 2015 .. and is this auction tomorrow another major moment..
Some key moments along the way -(you may think of others of course .. add them in ...)
a.ย ย ย Preceeding it all ... Santa's Ghetto Shows.. ย great addition to the list to bring in the new era of artists to the existing street/urban/graffiti scene.ย I would add.... maybe first new generation of artists that had the internet for promotion purposes?
1.ย ย 200X -- Urban Art auctions popped up along the way and - guess what?ย pretty successful..ย ย ย Drewatts was one of the first wasnt it ?( i still have the Drewatts 2008 PDF from the auction.. like a dolt i bought nothing)
2.ย ย ย ย Fairey Obama HOPE Posterย 2008ย ย (RIGHT> geez. i should have thought of that)
3. ย ย Tate Modern Show .. 2008ย
4.ย ย ย ย Banksy Village Pet Store 2008
5.ย ย ย 2008 - Cans Festival, London
6.ย ย ย Banksy Bristol Museum Showย 2009
7.ย ย ย Exit Through the Gift Shop 2010
8. ย Jeffrey Dietch - MOCA Show .. 2011 ?ย LA
9.ย Banksy Better out than Inย SHow NYCย ย 2014
is number 10 ย -- 2015 Lazarides at a major auction houseย that wouldnt have touched this in 2005 .. another important moment.ย Does it create a new normal establishing Urban Art as the important art form of the generation.ย or... is this like Hirts big solo show that marked the peak of his power.ย (did it? maybe i made that last sentence up)
where do you think we are now 10+ years into this ...ย ย is this a new plateau .. or is 2015 the peak moment for Urban art... and i dont mean VALUES only.. i mean.. interest in it.. new murals, new artists, etc.. new interests..ย

Everybody okay in paris?, by daveart on Jan 25, 2015 17:21:08 GMT 1, Banksy - christ with shopping bags
Book of Mormon - which i saw and felt embarrassed about. it is practically a hate crime in my opinion and it upset me. note: i am not Mormon
Dolk - priest versions and angel versions
etc, etc, etc
At one time on this forum there was specifically a thread for people looking for art that was anti religion or something along those lines.
People are trained to think that they must respond violently to seeing a picture of ... insert whatever it is ..
where i am going with this is there was a time not so long ago that Christian moms swattted their kids for using the word God "in vain" or out of Church .. the art mentioned above would be very insulting to a lot of people.... how they respond is the key. and yes, as mentioned with book of mormon.. i do think we can ask people not to go out of their way to be insulting and vulgar. is that censorship? not sure. never hurts to ask? that said. how you respond to anything in life is what defines you.

When Did You Start Collecting and What Was Your First Piece, by daveart on Jan 21, 2015 15:20:54 GMT 1, I could probably say my first piece i purchased in 1984. My goal in life at the time was to be a photographer and I used some hard earned funds to buy a framed Ansel Adams poster. Hung it in my room all through college - and my first few classes and photography jobs went pretty well ... and then ... i found computers... and that was that. I still dabble in photography and still have the Adams Poster. although now i dream of buying a signed original Ansel Adams.. but those are pretty spendy at this point.

FAILE Deluxx Fluxx Miami and Guy Denning Show Card, by daveart on Jan 19, 2015 15:43:06 GMT 1, lots of love for FAILE .. I should point out the Guy Denning card i have is signed... Just realized the one posted by Ottomatik is not signed. there is currently a signed one listed on Ebay .. seems a bit of a stretch for the price.. but does go to show these are basically signed prints.. not sure how many were signed.
Anyway... EKAP is looking strong for a nice Guy Denning card right now with not so many hours to go !

-, by daveart on Jan 18, 2015 12:21:52 GMT 1, Sometimes I read threads last page to first ... Just for the strange effect of knowing where the conversation ended but wondering how it got there .. This thread was actually pretty entertAining on that front .
an aspect of Banksy street art was to trash the commercialism of all the public space adverts constantly hyping everything from soda to cars and everything in between. So we are now hyping the anti hype message .
By modern art standards for established artists I wouldn't say Banksy prints are all that hyped or expensive .. so if we let the ultimate outsider into the big boy insider club ... Hype away .

How to win friends and influence the Banksy FORUM, by daveart on Jan 13, 2015 18:16:00 GMT 1, i was also just thinking .. ha ha .. i know right !? well anyway, this herd mentality has also worked against some artists.. just try to sell a Bambi piece on this forum. not up for that? .how about a Mr Brainwash piece.. oh the howling.. that's too obvious.. how about the loathing Whatson has received off and on over the last year. how about Nick Walker ? NW had a lot of support on here 8+ years ago and now i think the crowd turned on him and my guess is it slowed down his whole career ( just a guess!?!? dont hate me if you disagree). I do believe some of the crowd here have pushed artists away and for whatever reason almost actively pushed people away from buying artists new output. i never understand why.. if you dont like something fine.. but dont endlessly bludgeon people who do like it. I know for a fact one of the artists above feels this way because he told me this personally at a show when i talked with him. He was very sad he never commented on the forum any longer because the over the top criticism and abuse he took from forum.. which had previously been a place he frequented and respected.. So maybe the pendulum swings back and forth on here hot and cold..

How to win friends and influence the Banksy FORUM, by daveart on Jan 13, 2015 15:38:51 GMT 1, i dont disagree that artists get hyped on here and the early people get that fun rush of being first and seeing something they bought for 200 go to 1000 or something. but, the exposure gained on here may actually be helping some artists get to that next level of gallery representation- getting a show -etc. and that overall is pretty cool. this breaks the age old paradigm of the gallery owners deciding what artists do or dont get any exposure. the web lets us all vote and decide on our own and that is what is pretty cool about the last 15 years. if banksy had started pre internet.... hmmm.. not sure.. not sure if he would have gotten very much farther than a few local galleries peddling his prints. if a newby ends up with a cool dran for their house i am not going to lose sleep over whether the person paid 200, 400, 800 .. as long as they are happy .. the regret comes in when they go to sell... ahhhh.. i paiiiid tooooo muuuucccchhhhhh.again, sorry, just rambling.. strangely more fun than working.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by daveart on Jan 13, 2015 1:44:52 GMT 1, Pretty sure I upset them with my response.... I suggested they hang the "stop making stupid people famous" over with their Bambi pieces and see if it kind of all made sense...
sometimes humor hurts ....
I like some of the PJ work .. But I am not sure anyone is the next banksy .. The next banksy will be the person that leads the next major art explosion ..
