Harland Miller : It's works till it don't, by losvce on Mar 20, 2019 17:46:14 GMT 1, Many artists these days are a one trick pony. Social media, and particularly Instagram, fuel this fire, causing artists to product recognizable, easily identifiable works with animals, logos, flowers, colorful images, and generally distinguishable characters.
I'm sure people will argue that all artists have a style, and many do. A style certainly means something, and causes us to recognize an artist without slapping a plaque next to the image, which is a notable achievement. But a hook? A repetitive image? That's a label, or a brand, brands often don't hold value over time.
And so I think many artists, in many tiers, from martin whatson, to Kaws (except his original prints), much of murakami (particularly flowerball items), Katrin Fridrics, Mehdi (although maybe not that he now moved on from the giant cube in 90% of images), to Jerkface will have prices of their works and interest in their work just slowly slide downward.
Which brings me to the point. I think Harland Miller is going down. He is not a one, but a two trick pony. I think the old clever penguin works are amazing at first sight, but without the penguin, and with the cleverness (word?) becoming mundane, I cannot see his market continuing to rise. But I don't think it will be noteworthy in the long term, or that it will hold value very well.
Case in point, is this.

No penguin. Not even the word penguin.
I just think it's over. There's nothing left.

At first read I thought you were trying to spark a actual discussion.... But after seeing you write off any potential counterpoints as being from “investors” or “super fans” I was quickly reminded of where I was and immediately lost interest.

Not sure what people protecting their purchases has to do with this forum in particular, but I took it out, because you're right, it does stop the conversation and that's the opposite of why I'm posting. Would truthfully like to know where I'm wrong on this one. |

Harland Miller : It's works till it don't, by Romulus on Mar 20, 2019 19:12:49 GMT 1, When it comes to money and high auction prices, being a 'one-trick pony' doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Perhaps it makes the artist a safe bet

So let me get this straight, because Harland's art uses tex/titles, you consider him to be a one-trick (or maybe two-trick) pony? I consider him a one to two trick pony because the only thing he *did* was write cheeky titles on penguin book covers, a logo that he has nothing to do with. Now, he's run out of covers and it's old news, so we're left with less cheeky titles on book covers that look like finger painting. So I'd say he's a half-trick pony at best these days, and interest/prices will wash out in the long term. |

So much today is a remake of what was already done, I think the question is will it last. But to his edit, and the call out about it, '“investors” or “super fans”' make having such discussions painful as people can't look objectively when invested in something. They will bring up a recent auction as if that is proof because no where in history has an artist work ever sold at auction for less than the previous.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for many of the hyped artists of today and the lasting impact of social media's influence.
Why has he run out of "covers"? Can't he paint more? Edit: That Rothko guy didn't run out of colours to paint with. That kind of proves his point.... take a Rothko like painting, slap a silly title and you're done. Get's old, Rothko was unique.

And to make the basis for your entire art the cover of a book publisher is simply a cheap trick. And also agree that pumped up auction prices do not guarantee long-term success in any way. |

Dont like dont buy, if your worried you’ll lose money and cant handle that loss then dont buy(and dont buy a car or a watch or a telly eithers and so on). If you like and dont care if it loses value then buy.

Mind you his Penguin Book Cover OG pieces are flying up in price and extremely difficult to buy!
If anything HM is on a huge projection upwards. He has barely scratched the surface of the Asian or North American markets... and primed to explode!
Not to mention he is represented by White Cube- one of the World's premiere galleries.
HM editions are the gold standard for many interior designers... The future is BOLD and BRIGHT for Harland Miller
And good luck to all of us trying to buy his new incredible editions. They will be very, very, very tough to secure and deservedly so...

I laughed out loud at this, honestly, this alone would completely turn me off HM. Interior designers recommending a HM for the kitchen..
I’ve never liked HM except for this piece which is gorgeous in the flesh (the actual painting).

He has barely scratched the surface of the Asian or North American markets... and primed to explode! Not to mention he is represented by White Cube- one of the World's premiere galleries. HM editions are the gold standard for many interior designers... The future is BOLD and BRIGHT for Harland Miller And good luck to all of us trying to buy his new incredible editions. They will be very, very, very tough to secure and deservedly so... No offense taken. But I don't agree that anything you wrote means this is a long term buy. I think the hype is at its all time high, and that the slow slide down is near, unless the big dogs can continue to prop it up at auction then the bubble may be longer-lived |

Harland Miller : It's works till it don't, by Deleted on Mar 21, 2019 0:23:37 GMT 1, “HM editions are the gold standard for many interior designers... The future is BOLD and BRIGHT for Harland Miller” I laughed out loud at this, honestly, this alone would completely turn me off HM. Interior designers recommending a HM for the kitchen.. I’ve never liked HM except for this piece which is gorgeous in the flesh (the actual painting). I agree both pieces "In Shadows I Boogie" and "Filthy Thoughts" are gorgeous in the flesh!
where did you see them in the flesh ?

Harland Miller : It's works till it don't, by hairbland on Mar 21, 2019 0:29:00 GMT 1, So let me get this straight, because Harland's art uses tex/titles, you consider him to be a one-trick (or maybe two-trick) pony? I consider him a one to two trick pony because the only thing he *did* was write cheeky titles on penguin book covers, a logo that he has nothing to do with. Now, he's run out of covers and it's old news, so we're left with less cheeky titles on book covers that look like finger painting. So I'd say he's a half-trick pony at best these days, and interest/prices will wash out in the long term.
I disagree. I saw a twist on Rothko in his earlier work, and I think the fact that he was an author brings a personal element to his work. I don’t own anything by him, but I liked his Penguin work and I think these new ones are wonderful.

Harland Miller : It's works till it don't, by TheObserver on Mar 21, 2019 1:25:09 GMT 1, Why are Harland Miller prints so expensive when artists like Peter Doig prints sell for under 1k? Doig seems to be a more accomplished artist, so I am asking because i am genuinely trying to understand how the market values prints?

You’ve never seen one? They use so much ink in them, they barely turn a profit.

These prints are pretty far off from the originals in terms of color.
The print version of “In Shadows”for example kind of pulls your focus off of the text and onto the color contrasts imo.

Look at the bottom left green on Filthy. First thing I noticed from a design perspective is the harsh gradient under HARLAND MILLER on Filthy. It leaves no buffer and makes the text seem tight to the bottom, but that isn't apparent at all on the original. |

Harland Miller : It's works till it don't, by polymindset on Mar 21, 2019 5:13:45 GMT 1, No offence dude....but??? Harland Miller is SOARING! This new set of prints are AWESOME. LOVE the In Shadows I Boogie!!!! Shows HM can do more than just Penguin Book covers! Mind you his Penguin Book Cover OG pieces are flying up in price and extremely difficult to buy! If anything HM is on a huge projection upwards. He has barely scratched the surface of the Asian or North American markets... and primed to explode! Not to mention he is represented by White Cube- one of the World's premiere galleries. HM editions are the gold standard for many interior designers... The future is BOLD and BRIGHT for Harland Miller And good luck to all of us trying to buy his new incredible editions. They will be very, very, very tough to secure and deservedly so... No offense taken. But I don't agree that anything you wrote means this is a long term buy. I think the hype is at its all time high, and that the slow slide down is near, unless the big dogs can continue to prop it up at auction then the bubble may be longer-lived

I think the hype is at its all time high, and that the slow slide down is near, unless the big dogs can continue to prop it up at auction then the bubble may be longer-lived I agree the market is not equal for all Harland Miller's work but it seems the hype is. Obviously some pieces stand out more than others. Take a look at Painting for Charles Adams, Sweet Afton, Heroin, and many of his Penguin Plays pieces, although great pieces they are not in the ball park of his Penguin Book Covers. I'm not saying these new releases aren't worthy pieces to own but the difference between the originals and the prints I truly think makes these less desirable than some of his other works mainly his Penguin Book Covers. I think in the long term these will eventually slide as well. |
