Blu ๐ฎ๐น Bologna Street Art โข Print Release โข Art For Sale, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 13, 2020 3:09:15 GMT 1, He was never really interested to release any art to make money that's why he only makes murals and his pieces that he sells here and there are to fund his projects. His prices are high because there's nothing available on the market. there's no supply. Apart from his stuff with POW, there's not much. if you take Rennes for example, his last print. it was made with studiocromie who at the time was organizing the fame festival so I'm sure that the print was made in order to found art projects rather than make $$$. I for one command that sort of behaviour from street artists rather than artists who try to cash grab at every corner. Shows love for the craft. If you enjoy his art, enjoy it outside rather than in your living room. COA for an artwork is essential are you one of his trusted friends? at some point he will need money to pay bills as all of us... can't see nothing wrong on selling his art to people that loves what he does. Really he should take care to those people who are ready to spend (hard earned money) for his art, and may be invest that money for art project. 1) i have nothing to do with Blu himself. There's nothing wrong to sell your art and make money. There's also nothing wrong with not being interested in doing so.
2) As for COA being essential. I'm a private dealer so this is my job and daily life. I won't go into too much details but answer to what your assesment regarding COA is yes and no. What's the value of a COA is based on who makes them? COA is definately not essential if you can prove authenticity and/or provenance. Not every artists has an authenticity body like Banksy. The majority of works being sold on the market are sold without COA. It doesn't mean that they're fake.
3) I know who is the owner of that piece is and i can tell you if you cared to ask and check there is enough evidence of not only its provenance but also its authenticity.

Edit : after can only be used for a print not an OG. Obviously at dap said, use caution. But a professional using the wrong term to deceive a buyer is still liable

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by Brushstrokes 75 on Jan 16, 2019 15:35:03 GMT 1, the original sunday B were made with the same original screen and color scheme in an alleged edition of 250. Even though not officially licensed, warhol even signed some of them with the inscription "this is not by me". Those have a black stamp.
Every printed that Sunday B morning did afterwards, either in the original colorway or the new ones they are doing now are stamped in blue period. The switch the stamp not to confuse people. They are still high standard 1/1 reproduction that only have decoration value.
People are confused with what "after" means. After doesn't mean it's a copy or in the style of. it would take a long post (and i wrote one on a different thread about it). It means the print was done under the artist supervision but the artist didn't make the plate himself. Either an original piece of work was used (ex : a lithograph after a drawing or watercolor) or the artist entrusted his master printer (sometimes like with Sorlier and Chagall) to create a brand new image in the style of the artist that the artist would sign later.
The most expensive chagall prints are prints actually drawn by Sorlier and are after prints.
In this case, it most likely means that the original screens are used.

Bitcoin, by Brushstrokes 75 on Feb 7, 2018 20:54:16 GMT 1, Of course, there is massive manipulation as we speak. The whole blockchain technology is only in its infancy both in terms of the actual technology and its applications and its market involvement. Finance 101 is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The potential for massive profits is here and with that come along the massive risk of failure. There has been a serious downfall to modern finance of analyzing results in short term scope. Even risk averse mutual funds publish trimestrial and annual results. Between fear, market manipulation, hype especially in a risky (as of now) non regulated asset like this, volatility is off the chart. Bitcoin and all might disappear but blockchain technology is a massive world game changer in macroeconomic terms. There is no way to tell at this point what way it might go : get cemented or fail in its applications. I remember people thinking that internet would fail by early 2000, that people would never buy online, that people would never stream music online.... Central Banks for years have been planning for years to find a way to stop printing money. Blockchain definately offers a solution to that regard and offers traceability that is far greater than any notes printed. People talk about how bitcoin is only helping illegal activities but it's not that hard to trace movements and to identify who is what with serious knowledge. Cash is far more volatile in that sense and other assets (like art for example) can also be used in that regard (illegal activities). I also often hear things when some people wanna compare bitcoin and gold. People say bitcoin is not tangible that's why it's worthless. What is the actual intrinsic value of gold in itself? It doesn't reside in the fact that it's rare, that it's used in jewelry. It resides in the fact that it's an amazing medium of exchange. It's durable, divisible and it's scarce. You don't have to throw your money into bitcoin or in crypto to think it's interesting. I know people who are pretty up to date on the subject and have 0 penny in it. Last note there has been a lot of talk by government about putting into regulations. For some reasons, people see this as a bad thing. On the contrary, this is to protect investors as whole against shady and bad practices. We need regulatory frameworks. It doesn't mean it's gonna get banned. Just to pluck a bit of your thoughts, which I enjoyed reading fwiw, it'll be interesting how governments treat what is expected to be a big growth in privacy coins this year.ย The beauty of crypto in regards to the black market is how you're able to transport money anywhere in the world to make any sized transaction.ย You can't just take $1,000,000 in paper money on a plane or in a car with you but you can take a Trezor or a Nano loaded with $1,000,000 worth of crypto with you in your pocket.
Indeed, but criminals have always found ways to be creative when it comes to moving money.
It will interesting to see how it develops on both end of the spectrum.
There are other privacy concerns when it comes to bitcoin. Considering everything is on the ledger itself. You could pseudonimely identify people through their adresses and their use of money.
Basically, it would be as if everyone could know how much everyone has on their account (to some extent),
Thatโs why i see banks not disappearing from the get go.
Anyhow, itโs rather interesting to see what will happen on a lot of levels

Basically, it would be as if everyone could know how much everyone has on their account (to some extent), Thatโs why i see banks not disappearing from the get go. Anyhow, itโs rather interesting to see what will happen on a lot of levels

Bitcoin, by Brushstrokes 75 on Feb 7, 2018 12:30:27 GMT 1, Of course, there is massive manipulation as we speak.
The whole blockchain technology is only in its infancy both in terms of the actual technology and its applications and its market involvement.
Finance 101 is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The potential for massive profits is here and with that come along the massive risk of failure.
There has been a serious downfall to modern finance of analyzing results in short term scope. Even risk averse mutual funds publish trimestrial and annual results. Between fear, market manipulation, hype especially in a risky (as of now) non regulated asset like this, volatility is off the chart.
Bitcoin and all might disappear but blockchain technology is a massive world game changer in macroeconomic terms.
There is no way to tell at this point what way it might go : get cemented or fail in its applications. I remember people thinking that internet would fail by early 2000, that people would never buy online, that people would never stream music online....
Central Banks for years have been planning for years to find a way to stop printing money.
Blockchain definately offers a solution to that regard and offers traceability that is far greater than any notes printed.
People talk about how bitcoin is only helping illegal activities but it's not that hard to trace movements and to identify who is what with serious knowledge. Cash is far more volatile in that sense and other assets (like art for example) can also be used in that regard (illegal activities).
I also often hear things when some people wanna compare bitcoin and gold. People say bitcoin is not tangible that's why it's worthless. What is the actual intrinsic value of gold in itself? It doesn't reside in the fact that it's rare, that it's used in jewelry. It resides in the fact that it's an amazing medium of exchange. It's durable, divisible and it's scarce.
You don't have to throw your money into bitcoin or in crypto to think it's interesting. I know people who are pretty up to date on the subject and have 0 penny in it.
Last note there has been a lot of talk by government about putting into regulations. For some reasons, people see this as a bad thing. On the contrary, this is to protect investors as whole against shady and bad practices. We need regulatory frameworks. It doesn't mean it's gonna get banned.

Kaws Small Lie Companion, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 27, 2017 16:47:48 GMT 1, Probably at least 10k each colorway as Medicom is also due to a release. if the 4500 number is true, Perrottin got around I would say 3500, and Medicom will probably have the remaining 3k. I don't see the issue here. The toys are still cheap. Kaws rarely released the edition size in the past (apart from the numbered toys). Everyone just guessed and assumed the edition size starting with the resting place release. He could have easily made an edition of 2000 at $1k (like so many artists who raised their prices), it would have sold out. Instead he stayed with a low price. Those toys were $200 a pop, I remember resting place being around $325 in 2012. There is a theory that he used the "open edition" to scale his market (and I doubt those will get rereleased again, unless his brand goes to the gutter and he need easy money) and adapt the size of the future releases. I'd be willing to bet his last open edition was about 10K as well. Promoting this set like a limited edition is just nonsense. I mean technically every last manufactured item on the planet is a limited edition because at some point production stops. People are dropping 10k on Koons from editions of 2300 (20k for the older ones).
Not defending kaws as I hoped as well to have a smaller edition size myself and feel that if the number is too high it's actually a rather misleading premise.
But on the other side of the coin, those were also cheaper than the last OE drop.

Kaws Small Lie Companion, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 27, 2017 16:44:28 GMT 1, The issue to me isn't the number released, it's the lack of transparency. If it turns out that the Open Editions have been produced in similar numbers to this Limited Edition, then that's a bit of a con. Most artists release edition sizes. I don't know why Kaws doesn't. It would just be fairer to collectors. I noticed on his Instagram that he even had a go at someone for asking for an update on his order! Told them to ask Kawsone, not post on his Instagram!! Bizarre. True that mate. This is definately an issue I agree with and people are right to complain about it.
However, we don't know how many, so it's just speculation really.
If the edition is 100k or plus or similar to the OE, it is definately misleading. I don't think it's actually legal to call it a limited edition if those numbers are that high (in an art/collectible setting).

Tape removal without damage?, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 27, 2017 13:16:44 GMT 1, Yep, best is to go see your framer, he shall be able to identify the tape. If it is a water-based special art tape (starch), then yep, as said above, a little soaking and you should be able to remove it. If it is a bad tape, then indeed you may have some stains in the long term as tape has lot of acidity. Technic used is to heat the tape with hair dryer in order to soften the adhesive, you can combine with betine or lighter fluid soaking, and gently scratch or sand the tape to remove tape and tape residue. Note that lighter fluid dissipates and does not leave any staining so you can soak the tape. Bestine also works well. Some don't care much about the tape and will cut the tape at the edge. Note that if tape is recent, you may not have tape stains. If there are, tape stains are permanent. This little video (which shows the heating and scratching process without use of fluid) will give you some ideas - www.preservationequipment.com/Blog/Blog-Posts/No-pressure-removing-pressure-sensitive-tapes what ashton said.
However, if you don't know what you're doing, to be on the safer side go to a framer or a restorer.

FT white Nola for your Banksy Grappling Hook, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 27, 2017 13:13:22 GMT 1, I apologise for someone paying ยฃ12k for ยฃ7k worth of prints Utterly pathetic How much did an unsigned LA morons just go for on auction? Hereโs a clue a damn sight more than 7k. It was an LA moron. The LA set is lot rarer than the reg edition though.
The hook is a difficult piece for a lot of reasons. For me, I see it as a mix between Christ with shopping bags and a wachtower. Niche.
i think I sold my CWSB in 2011 for around 10k gbp I think. At that point nola was like 3.5/4. Now nola is worth more. so who knows what happens next. Can't blame a guy for trying.
However, I agree at this point it might be tough trade as whoever dropped 40k or 48 with taxes could have easily just dropped that on a NOLA if they wanted to.
Good luck with the search mate.

New prints by dmv, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 27, 2017 12:36:48 GMT 1, Ashamed to say I never heard of them... Who is/are they/he/she, please? You probably. It's Dran's crew (Da mental vaporz).
All pretty interesting and different style. Most of them are rather underated apart from Dran obviously.
Pretty nice pieces love the Brusks and Bom K is always dope (but weird as f***ck). Sowat's piece is nice. I bought a few drawings a few years back.
Too bad they are giclee print. I freaking hate that technique, I always feel like I'm buying a good quality photocopy...
