ART • What's your Prized Possession?

[daveart]

I would have to say this Original on Canvas commission piece by FAILE - the journey to visit them - talking with them in their studio - and then on the same visit seeing the exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum - probably the highlight of my art collecting and personal investment in art overall.. < and the pain that I sold my stop & search to fund this > all comes together to make this 'the one'

Absolutely love this. So good you managed to visit the studio to pick it up too - think that is one of my goals of the next few years!

We've all got that prized piece we'd never want to sell...

What's yours?

I'm a new collector to the art world but my prized possession right now would have to be my MW/Pure Evil collab 

Is that from the Graffiti Prints show at Truman Brewery?  

Yes indeedy. I think the piece has changed hands a few times since that show but fortunately I managed to get hold of it 

[Deleted]

That MW collaboration is awesome, pass it on to your loved ones and never sell

I've had this 'a while'

Trevor having had the privilege of seeing your collection I'm surprised you could narrow it down to just one! I suppose this one isn't bad

Loved the Dirty Laundry era of Herakut and this is one of my favorite pieces of theirs...congrats!

kind of regret not snagging an elbow - when he was prolific , i say that with a wink.

he's back in the game - but his life is not the same - so his work won't be the same... time is a valuable thing.

That's incredible. Having a portrait of your son by Elbowtoe! Fabulous artist. And that's a great painting. What a privilege.

I have around 15 parla works as my screens in work on rotation and yours is one of them great piece and I am very jealous.

[Majestic]

That portrait is fantastic - you must be super proud of that!

[Cocteau 101]

Yes thanks, it means a lot. 8 years ago now though!!

That frame sure makes for an excellent hiding place for large bank notes and miscellaneous passports.
