Charming Baker LA show, by nah on Mar 25, 2013 21:27:17 GMT 1, This is an interesting read from the art newspaper When you have the likes of Alberto Mugradi collecting, the collectors will protect the value and will make sure the pricing doesn't drop, he'll be well looked after now. apparently not - didn't a piece flop at Phillips just a few weeks ago?
found that whole article pretty unsavoury. got to admire the super bold gagosian within 2 years statement though!

Charming Baker LA show, by nah on Mar 25, 2013 16:19:31 GMT 1, Hugely talented artist + great management + excellent publisher + growing fan base/collectors = successful artist maybe... are the critics taking notice though? is it respected collectors/museums buying the work, or is it celebrities? the green day manager thing still sets off alarm bells to be honest. with that said i still think CB is one of the best artists frequently discussed on here

when do they usually do the big reveal? bailey apparently did " six pen drawings with African imagery and a giant female rabbit", whichever ones those are they completely slipped me by

RCA Secret 2013, by nah on Mar 23, 2013 14:02:34 GMT 1, I didn't win the raffle and so I was in queue at 5:15. Cold, snow and wind, but as usual warm atmosphere (even if somebody collapsed for the cold, but everything finished well). I managed to buy two postcards of artists I know and appreciate Laurel Johannesson and Cesar Baracca with two great pieces this year. So for me not a so great secret. I took two other postcards, maybe I could make a more hazardous choice. The cards I assumed to be by Julian Opie were already sold when I arrived at the desk. Curious to see if I recognized them. At the end of the day a great experience. the opies went quickly, dont think they made it past the first 50. a bit surprising as i thought they were a pretty tough one to crack (unless lucky enough to have stumbled across \/)

Bambi ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข Print Release โข Art For Sale, by nah on Mar 20, 2013 16:07:20 GMT 1, So did anyone on this forum go to the preview night? Has anyone ever met the artist? Reeks of a total con which is working well for the carpet salesmen of Walton Fine Farts. that's the problem when the market gets too bullish, attracts exactly the wrong sort of people (see also: that tyler shields thread). maybe a sign we're due a crash just to purge the system a bit

RCA Secret 2013, by nah on Mar 15, 2013 13:41:41 GMT 1, I always look through the cards later at night after 11pm and early morning before 8am. During the day their website is just too painful. It's bad enough theres no next button but with serious lag it's a false starter. To get an idea of the last event in 2011, I joined the queue at around 5.45am and was just over 200th in line. Not sure if that was including the 50 golden ticket holders though. yeah, managed to get through a good few of them last night. when/how does the golden ticket raffle happen?
edit: got it - tickets sold in person at the exhibition

The role of a gallery, by nah on Mar 14, 2013 20:08:13 GMT 1, Would love to know who this alludes to. Be interesting to see which artist related to this scene has this type of backing and management. Reminds me of a few buyers who have been talked into buying "the whole show". agreed - would be nice to know...

RCA Secret 2013, by nah on Mar 14, 2013 18:37:21 GMT 1, I can't believe there is no "next" button when viewing the postcards - makes the whole process a complete ballache Can't be difficult to do, and they have had two years to get the website ready. Anyway, I look forward to having to make at least 5,400 clicks to review all the cards... doesn't help that it's running at a snails pace hopefully it'll speed up later

Float Mounting โข Deckled Edge, by nah on Mar 12, 2013 20:40:55 GMT 1, Hi I've got a 1" deep piece on wood that I'd like to float in a frame (like below). Anyone know if it would be possible to do this without needing to fix it into place with screws? it's quite small and pretty lightweight, so maybe there are alternatives?
thanks!

Tauba Auerbach Screen Print, by nah on Mar 11, 2013 14:22:41 GMT 1, why are people getting annoyed at these being re sold? (they were ordered in october) people sell banksy prints the same week they get them for a huge profit but thats considered the 'norm'? any print sold 'behind the scenes' to select buyers is going to come under extra scrutiny if a bunch appear on the market, in part due to sour grapes. i wouldn't say banksy is immune to this - imagine a similar reaction if more of those special color nolas suddenly started appearing
