Barry McGee 🇺🇸 Mission School Art Movement

[Harveyn]

Nice work V. Did the McGee come with assembly instructions. That said at the price I assume it to have cost I would have expected installation by Barry himself... ;D

[afroken]

Price wise I think you'd be surprised Neil. As Snausages said, slow and steady with this guy; no stupid unexplained price hikes. But yes, it took me the best part of 4 hours to hang.

Rumour has it that McGee has a blockbuster show at Deitch next year.

If anyone on here 'won' this item I recommend not paying as its a blatant fake

Just out of interest how can you tell? apart from there being no provenance.

[afroken]

Because it looks nothing like a McGee, either in terms of quality or in terms of the head painting itself - just look at the eyes, they're all over the place!

[muti]

Oh no!! that is a lot to pay for a fake, I can see it now, the poor guy is going to pay hundreds for a fancy style box frame and will be proudly displaying... his fake.

[Rsyok]

I've seen McGee's with their eyes almost in the back of their heads but aggree the painting detail looks rough.

[Harveyn]

Has to be a fake. Looks like a fake and anybody who puts "sold as is" in their description knows exactly what they are doing. Saying that anybody who buys when people use that terminology must be mad.

[walshy]

The line work very poor and as afroken said, the quality just isnt there

[volvic]

Very poor line work and looks very cartoony compared to mcgee's fine detail - i said the afro that this was fake earlier this week, can't believe it reached $1500!!

[snausages]

Yeah I wouldn't spend $1500 without seeing it in the flesh, Mcgee can get amazing line work and detail that is usually recognizable up close but it's hard to see it in the auction photo. A shame if someone gets ripped off.

But many bottles were stolen off walls in exhibitions over the years and Mcgee practically encouraged it from what I've been told. So there are a number of real bottles without provenance floating around but I don't recommend buying them without close inspection or having an expert look at it.

[hops]

I think this is the seller here :


;D

[easycraig]

^^^did you notice that the guy in the video has a black eye that Barry gave him! lol ! ec

[Harveyn]

I have loads of originals to trade, Dface, Blek, BAST, English Psaier etc. All canvases.

Looking for any McGees or Johansons.

Looking specifically for Powers 24"x24" original of "Everything Is Shit"

[Grubster]

Open to all and would love to see some artist from here participate and have their work shown. GL

sounds like an excellent show/event.

I know that they're judging the event but -
Are Shep Barry McGee and Ed Rusha exhibiting in the show too?

[fatwesty]

I'm looking to buy a small Barry McGee piece such as a drawing or bottle and was just wondering what sort of price i should be looking to pay. If anyone out there could advise me i would be extremely grateful.

Thanks

[afroken]

Cashman has a very nice little drawing for sale for $3.5k US, which is less than you'd pay a gallery for one. But £2k to £3k GBP is about right.

A Bottle with sound provenance will cost around the same, possibly a little less. But there are a lot of fakes out there so be careful.

[volvic]

Afroken is right, cashmans is a nice example and classic mcgee. defiantly give him a shout

$5000 is the going rate from gallerys for drawings and small pieces and 4-$5000 for a bottle.

Good luck!

[punkwithtats]

At PrismLA all drawings and bottles were $5k usd.

[Guest]

agree with afro and volvic, give cashman a shout (shine on WK).

[fatwesty]

Thanks for the advice guys, i've got my heart set on a bottle but i might give cashman a shout and have a look at his drawing!!
