Hello,


First of all to be clear love invader's work and been a fan for a long time since i live in his hometown.
However, i don't really understand the recent hype. What is happening to invader prices? I see everyday tons of prints for sale at prices close to Banksy work.
Maybe i missed something, maybe it is his real value but seems a bit fast for me.
How do you see the future of this?
Would be interesting to see this thread in 6 or 12 months to see how it ended.
Anyway just a thought...
Happy collecting

No worries, it's a good question..

I think urban and street art in general has seen a surge in popularity. It's not just Invader prices that have increased substantially. Banksy, Conor Harrington, Pejac are among artists that have suffered the same fate. Could be a knock on from Banksy's increased value. As his prices have risen buyers move to the next artist down on their list, maybe.

Or re invader it's something more sinister. Could be.

Not having ago at the OP but this debate has been done to death on here. Just as the flipper threads or will Banksy release another print? For what it's worth I think it is invaders time. I don't think it's anything sinister. Invader has been there from the start. He is known worldwide. His stuff is still fresh and appealing and because of this more people are getting into his work. No doubt sell out shows have helped as well.

And certain galleries have just been buying up all of his work for 6 months/a year, offered very high prices to their sellers so they created an artificial rise in perceived value, then they just held back all the stuff for a few more months, did a show and sold everything for x3 the value they bought it for.

It's a perfectly executed strategy.

Ok thank you guys

If the prices hold up then those RVE prints being offloaded at £4K will seem like a bargain when supply dries up. Time will tell...

[aymar75]

Yes time will tell. I used to own a lsd print which I sold 300€ on eBay. Guess I was not a visionnaire

meanwhile, in the non-news Invaders shop has just temporarily closed

[highflyer]

Ooo could be interesting. F5 finger at the ready...

Was just about to ask everyone their thoughts about this.

Inherently they don't have any value, he's seen to this by not signing or numbering his street pieces right?

[aymar75]

Not signed, not numbered but maybe a value on the secondary market with the recent price rise. It is a shame for the people who enjoy like me walking through Paris to find them

[Viking Surfer]

Can't see that as having any value on the secondary.

Just make your own.
