Micallef 'Dreamer' on Laz, by slowmo on Jun 12, 2008 22:15:29 GMT 1, I wanted to say fuck off. The price tag seemed wrong and it warped my initial thoughts, but this fits with his portraits and could be a watershed in approach. Like he said about his teaching, you should be able to make a face with four brush strokes. This is similarly minimal, its quite different. Maybe seminal, a change in gear on his real strength of painting portraits, in which case this could be a steal. either way, very expensive right now.

Micallef 'Dreamer' on Laz, by bobbymeachamjr on Jun 12, 2008 23:17:49 GMT 1, f*uckn' joke of a price. Talented but what kind of credentials does he have to warrant anything close to this price?
Hes associated w/Banksy wooo hooo! Now watch Laz put it in the basement and put a "sold" next to it and everybody will be shouting Micallef sold for £50k! Then some weak a ss micallef "originals" will pop up on ebay...

Micallef 'Dreamer' on Laz, by longhu6 on Jun 12, 2008 23:29:48 GMT 1, It's a severe reduction in price for similarly sized canvasses at the (sold out) LA show last year.
Something from that show sold later at auction for less than the buyer paid for it, and now prices have been adjusted downward.

i can tell you right now that he has more credentials than any other 'urban artist' discussed on this forum apart from the guy its name after
for one thing people that don't go on here have actually heard of him

Micallef 'Dreamer' on Laz, by master on Jun 13, 2008 0:52:10 GMT 1, Very well said 'type'. I usually just ignore people with idiotic comments but this one is actually about artist who's got buckets full of credibility and who I have all respect in the world. I bet he has never even seen any AM in front of him, and if he did I am sure he would think twice before posting any of that crap.

It would be interesting to see the feedback for Dreamer if the same image was anonymously posted on the New Artists thread.

Micallef 'Dreamer' on Laz, by user on Jun 13, 2008 1:18:36 GMT 1, Agreed. In the flesh it's a beast and pretty breathtaking, online it's pretty crap and flat looking. Needs to be seen in person to be appreciated.

The above is factually correct.
Dreamer is a stunning piece in the flesh. Online it looks like it has a silver outline, it's actually pink, just an example of how a JPEG doesn't give a true reflection of the work. It's very impressive and a piece I wouldn't have a problem owning personally.
Whether it's worth £60k, I don't know, but I do think it would have been closer to £100k if the recent auction results for Micallef hadn't been as poor as they have been.
I think the asking price is fair TBH. The only thing that I'm a little confused about, is when I was at Lazarides the other day, I'm sure it had a red dot on it, but now it's available.
Maybe I made a mistake and the red dot was for the piece next to it...or maybe there was a buyer that pulled out...who knows?
Changing the subject slightly, the piece at Christie's with a guide of £8k to £12k is a seriously strong piece IMO. If it goes for anywhere close to guide, it will be a fantastic buy for someone.

Despite the hate, the large ed, the over inflated prices, the laz effect, the brit museum etc etc,
despite all that.
I still think God I Want To Be Bad is the most beautiful print POW has ever produced.
I can't judge based on a jpeg, but I am fairly convinced it's hard for this man to produce originals worth less than £50k
