Itโs really interesting, almost morbidly so, to hear about all of the pieces that could have been. Also how many would be $100k+ purchases were nixed by the significant other (or at least thatโs how we remember it now).

The one that got away, by bradk on Dec 7, 2019 0:42:37 GMT 1, What artists do you think people are sleeping on at the moment? I definitely need to get out more and open my eyes to other emerging artists then the ones talked about on here. Anyone anyone suggests looking at? There are a ton of artists with originals still at a reasonable price, and less than prints from many of the artists discussed here. I love seeing what Jonni Cheatwood is doing, I know one of the forum members recently picked up a canvas from him. Kind of reminds me of Eddie Martinez. I also like Brandon Lipchik, who I discovered following Oli Epp on IG. I've inquired about a canvas from Brandon and they're not totally out of this world price wise. But yeah, I feel like local art shows and instagram are the discovery tools for me.
Couldn't agree more, prints are great and what essentially got me into collecting but I find buying an original from a true emerging artist so much more satisfying - firstly you have something totally original and the excitement of watching that artist career grow and knowing that in the smallest way possible, you've ultimately helped them along financially and with some exposure even if to just friends and family!
I write this as I brought a Brandon Lipchik this year and totally love it - one of my favourite works in my modest but ever growing collection!!

I can't remember if the yellow, red and black were a set but they were relatively easy to snag at that point. I also considered buying those prints but I just couldn't see myself staring at Sponge Bob Squarepants on my walls. I can't stand his voice. Absolutely no regrets.

Had one reserved at Ruttkowski, cancelled my hold, had second thoughts and called to purchase but it was sold out by then. Quite a small print but would look great in my hallway (considering the limited amount of wall space left).

Probably about 10 years ago? And yes there were loads of canvases around

It could have been worse you could have been the owner of the stall next door sitting there all day. But it proved it's point no one's bothered!

The one that got away, by ntinla on Dec 24, 2019 8:15:11 GMT 1, Was sent a canvas link by an up and coming artist (in my opinion, who I have already mentioned in 2 other threads. His name is Yoon hyup. I have no affiliation I actually reached out and he did not respond)
Canvas was priced at $600 and had been posted for a year. Figured I had a day or two to think about it. It sold within 2 hours of me being aware of it. When his gallery sent me current available pieces they were much simpler pieces for much higher prices. Lesson? If you love it, buy it. Worry about the credit card later. But you better really love it or you may find yourself regretting it or having to sell it for less than you paid to pay off the bill.

I walk passed windows filled with Banksy knockoffs all the time.
