 Thats put me off English Heritage

How dare they.

You'd think that having such a high end address for his gallery that he could afford a decent editor onboard Team Lamberty. That said it's not just Lamberty, the number of times I see gallery dates written with a redundant "of" as in 10th of June...grrrr. Being a pedant in this art game isn't easy ;-)

No funds?? The Tate is just completing a £260million extension!

So, not spending money on art then.

Hold on to the book prints / posters at the rate the editioned prints are selling for the posters will be far fetched soon

How they spend it is their choice, but they clearly have £260m to throw around so the funds *are* there, and galleries this big aren't reliant on the likes of D*face donations to keep them afloat.

D*Face has a few works in the V&A's collection. A print of his was displayed downstairs for a couple of years.

The D*Face was donated to the V&A. Most institutions don't have the funds to buy work, and that includes The Tate who are in the lap of the high-earning artists and galleries. 

The Tate has plenty of money and over pays for art due to nepotism and being run by a clique.

yes, that's true, some really nice photos... Just a bit worrying that someareassociating them with a price, as in Harrods.
But never mind as you say !

I enjoy Stik's work but can't see why people are paying over the odds for it when, as pointed out above, he's still making prints and canvases. You can get a new original for £12,000, so why pay £14,000 for an old one?

Likewise, he'll have a new print out before you know it, so why rush out and spend £5,000 on the baby?

Realistically when the majority of people are spending these type of amounts on Stik when at source they were so cheap , it is as an investment / make a gain rather than the so called love of the image .
I would rather buy a signed banksy at these prices .
This inflated market valuations could so easily crash soon ,
Just like those that bought into Nick walker and deface 2007-2009

Please God no.....don't trigger another Stik price debate!! Can't you just refer people to every other Stik thread .....

Any idea when the next print is due ?
Releases yearly and must coincide with the American book release ?

That's what I was trying to say. And I am agree with you.
Since the post of Missyparrott ( if I have good memory , I won't look in archives ) about a Liberty sold in auction for a crazy and nonsense price ( then, came all the speculations and sales about the baby ) it was calm here and we all enjoyed photos and Stik love,
As the amazing one posted by cyberkid Upthere too.

As said Sir Tati about movies ( I try to translate ) : "
too much color distracts the viewer "
We could say also : " too much money will kill Stik 's baby "
Sorry, it was not my intention to hurt you, but at the end, it becomes crazy and boring.

This is what I like about Stik. I have a rather extensive art collection, and for many who have seen it (well, some of it) the individual pieces don't seem a part of a coherent whole. But there are things that the art I own seems to share. One of these is an attempt by the artists to put themselves into their work and to share what they are thinking or feeling with others. The pieces are not just eye candy, but a way for me to connect with artists as people. With Stik, I don't just see a solid background and a stick figure. I see poverty and homelessness, I see hope and love, and sometimes I see politics and world affairs. And I only see this because Stik has shared his backstory with us; because Stik has been so open about how he sees the world and his distress at injustice. Trite as it sounds, when I buy art, I am buying a piece of an artist, and it is just as important to me who the artist is as what he or she paints. I like Stik's work, and I think minimalist art is much harder to create than some detractors want to believe. But in truth, if I didn't know anything at all about Stick, I wouldn't have any of his art in my collection. On the surface, it isn't impressive. But when combined with all that I know about the artist, I find it rather brilliant. And that is why my five year old neighbor or any of those posting in this thread couldn't possibly recreate Stik's art. For me, the same argument could made about Banksy. His work taken out of context isn't impressive. But add the mystique of the artist and his/her political views and strong sense of right and wrong, and the art is quite effective. Escif, one of my favorite street artists, is another example. And yes, for those members who are going to blow a cork, I am comparing Stik and Banksy and Escif. None of the three (well, maybe Escif), has created art that I would buy and display without knowing the artist and the why of it.
