Those Yue Minjuns look very cool. I used to like him but I think his quality has gone down a bit, but still.
I try to look at TimeOut, but I'm a bit confused by the layout.
I've not seen any cool print shops and look forward to the one you mention. As for expensive coffee, for me its kind of part of the gallery and museum experience, its art's little cousin. So once in a while, an expensive cup is fun.
I've been living here one year but still get lost . I'm on the 3rd ring but to the east, i guess this place is on the other side of town.
Thank you for the explanation.

Hi Lucky 7,  if you can't get info from Timeout (which normally has a section on galleries/shows etc) you could also check out the following websites that have info on what is going on around town:

SmartBeijing
That's Beijing 

I use the Shanghai equivalent of each of these down here and they normally get updated fairly regularly. 

Damn China's slow internet!

Tried to be clever and add links - failed miserably (I.T. is not a strong point).  Here are the links:

I went today. Didn't have expensive coffee but did order a bad  cake.

Let the madness begin.

[Pavoni]

Always seems so happy....

[ca]

i would of considered it at half the price

[nmnm225]

Same - these are really nice, but 8k each seems a little bit steep

[blerd]

Sold out! Did anyone pull the trigger?

[The Italian One]

that face looks too much like berlusconi's face!!!!

[Happy Shopper]

I imagine these will appear at auctions for a lot more... $8k is still to much for me though!

Agreed. In hindsight probably a good buy. On first impression the price did seem punchy.

Cai Guo-Qiang print took over a month to sell out (including the pre-sale). Yue Minjun sold out in less an hr without pre-sales.
You should have went with the Yue Minjun; in terms of Chinese art investment. Much more potential. Chinese art is a totally different game. Learn about it before investing in it.
Asia is the second largest art market behind the US. Start researching asian artists better.

Hey, agreed! However as I said hindsight is 2020. This statement would have been magic a week or so ago .

Pre-sale went out April 29th. Sold out May 2nd. Unless you got the super secret insider pre-pre-sale I don't see how that's a month. Not debating whose a better investment but don't spout nonsense.

[Express Post]

...Last week people commenting that a $300 print by Ryan Travis Christian was too much and should be $200. LMAO

Presale started mid March

[Express Post]

Print was available to anyone with the means that asked. There wasnt enough meat on the bone for flippers which is why it didnt instantly sell out.

Still a solid artist, but at that price, the print would have been bought to appreciate rather than to "invest".

Can someone tell me how 8k for this would be considered a good deal? Do people attach more importance to an edition sculpture than print? Because you have a bunch of his prints available below 4k.
Also, to say the guy is on the comeup or wtv is a bit weird of a statement to me... he’s been amongst the top of world known Chinese artists for quite some time... hell, there were bootlegs of his paintings everywhere when I traveled China 6-7 years ago... imo his market is somewhat capped because a lot of people don’t like the character and typical imagery. Personally, I love it

[Express Post]

It is a fair price with no guaranteed flip potential. It has sold out and we are not seeing these for resale on other platforms. Would it shock people that these are being bought for keeps?
Also glad that hypebeasts art knowledge is also minimal, otherwise a lot of artists markets would screwed right now.

definitely on the same page, just thought that for a fan on a budget there are better options out there (i somewhat know because Ive been waiting on the sidelines for years waiting for the right piece at the right price). anyway, hopefully the sneaker/hypebeast train doesnt go through his station anytime soon

Dw. Hypebeasts are are too busy keeping up with kaws, brantley, arsham, gondek, jonas wood exhibition posters and jerkface prints. Plenty to keep them occupied.

Cool but overpriced

My wife would struggle with that in the house

New Avante Art produced print run of 2 varieties, hefty price tag. Opinions?

Hibiscus: €4,500 - Edition of 40 - 91 x 69 x 4 cm (Framed)



Hibiscus (Hand Finished): €7,500 Edition of 10
91 x 69 x 4 cm (Framed)




Both: "Archival pigment print on Innova paper with gold ink applied by hand by the artist.
All works come float-mounted inside an American Walnut frame using archival Japanese paper loops on acid-free mount board. The frame has UV plexiglass for protection."

I want to like avante’s pieces but they always seem to be too expensive - maybe I’m just a cheapskate 🤷‍♂️

I like their management system, but I somewhat agree with this. Premium and exclusive is great, I can afford it too, but can see how it can be discouraging and could drive down attention/interest.

[nixon451]

As if the average Yue Minjun image wasn't freaky enough, they took it to a whole new level.

Reminds me of Resident Evil 7, or whatever it was, when the zombies started having plants shoot out of their faces.

[Feels Good Man 84]

I was excited when I saw they were doing one of his works, but I agree definitely not the right image for me and pricey $$$
