Firstly i would like to say hello, im new to these forums. I've loved art for a long time and recently started purchasing a lot of pieces. I'm probably the same as many people here and bought a lot really quickly when they started. 

I've really enjoyed reading literally 7 years of the £50 art thread and its great to see some pieces in there and artists that have made it when starting from humble beginnings. The other thread i have enjoyed is show us your latest art buy its great to see what people have been purchasing for the last 7-8 years.

I wanted to start a new thread something that could possibly run for years like the threads mentioned above so ive come up with this im sure people will have some cracking stories and also hopefully it will be a resource for all of us to find out about new artists and also in turn for some artist that we all happen to like to make some money out of us.

so i will start as ive said i have bought a lot of pieces over the last 3 or so months but out of all of them this is the one that i think i an absolute bargain



 


This is drift by David walker a bargain @ £29 
www.artrepublic.com/prints/14910-drift-silkscreen-signed-limited-edition-of-150.html

and also 

this is enthroned upon an empire of rust by Replete Hand finished a/p edition of 5 bought for £50. Have no idea if thats a good pricce but im well happy with it.

if you would like to share yours come and get involved hopefully we can all discover some new bargains

I'd forgotten about Replete, (whats he been up-to) he does some really good stuff, always kind of reminds me of the guys that funk up motorbike fuel tanks

I have some of his stuff, really nice, and a good idea

[danarge]

no idea mate just loved the piece so had to get it

reminds me a bit of the Paul Insect Head

[.dappy]

... shall we say that this Thread should be OTHER THAN when I bought a Banksy on release (or soon thereafter)  ...

[dreadnatty]

Spray Helmet by Nomade for me $100

[danarge]

nice yeah keep them coming and yeah probably shouldnt include banksys on release haha

[M]

danarge do you really want to hear how people bought original banksys for 250 bgp or less ;-)

[danarge]

no thats why we said dont include cheap banksys

[danarge]

did anyone else get one of those thoth heads just been back on artobox and they are sold out. To be fair it was an edition of 7

[Jeezuz Jones Snr]

All of my collection I picked up at cost (apart from my wife's grafter canvas). I would say parla st.giles which was pricey at cost but I love the image and won't be selling it so to me it's a bargain

Also I picked up a nice large 1/1 poseia piece last year for $125, constantly looking on gumtree for a big used gold ornate frame for it

Last year I sold my first ever print I purchased in 2008, I paid 50 pounds for the Mona Simpson (nick walker) bargain!! sold it as the wife didn't want it up on the wall, another art regret.

[dreadnatty]

My Kunstrasen 'Art Makes Me Happy'. Was like $25

The 4 ''poison" pieces on card I picked up from kobron last week. Bargain at £15 for all of them and they look great!

[danarge]

yeah i have some bits from kobron to be delivered they were very reasonable

Without a doubt Parasite's Leakig Rainbow for £17.71

everytime i go on parasites website everything is sold out

[londonboy]

I guess an original stik painting for £4.50

[mrblast]

My two are probably John Doe's Miss Universe on release for GBP 65. Hard to believe it took ages for these to sell out at the time.

The other would be my Stik commission.

Nice, it's SOLD OUT now, shame..I would of nabbed one of those.

It's got a Mark Powell vibe to it.

[t3c]

Chinook Hearts by Whatson for 35 quid, i bought 2 but gave one to a mate's gf who loves Chinooks. Major fail..

I guess the other would be Stik Lovers, £100 edition of 50. Bargain.

Don't have it anymore unfortunately ,
But the best 3 diet coke I ever bought..

Shepard Fairey "War by numbers" HPM on wood for 2k. Found an old printer of Shep's on craigslist advertising antiques and saw the piece is the background of one of images. Had been sitting in a storage unit forgotten about for like 5 years.

[Philpenn]

Scored a KAWS 4ft for below cost. Don't imagine I'll ever out do that one.

[cashewman]

Wow, these are better than I'd have thought.

For me, for joy/cost ratio, I probably get the most from Victor Reyes' Misspelled print:



Given that he seems to be moving on from his stunning lettering and rarely releases prints, I'm happy I scooped the large, many-layered screen print up for $150. I believe they're all HPMs too. First Amendment SF FTW.

Right now, I've feeling this way about Carl Cashman - his stuff seems criminally underpriced, and feels like it'll cost a lot more in the future.

Picked this up a while back… thought it was a bargain at £25.

Not sure the story on them, but the seller said they were never for sale, only available to people at the Launch Party of Turf War.

" mint ,never say mint "  to Danarge ...

Tea time with fresh ale instead of mint...

I bought Ma ville of Dran ( as we are talking about money in these kind of threads ), for 1 euro50 and a Roy Lichtenstein signature, for 1£.
Well, I feel no glory.

Anyway the tee of Agent Provocateur is amazing !
