I would like to think most art collectors know the difference between a print from an official estate and a living artist.

I look at it this way. Do I like the image and can I afford it. If the RH prints were £50 a lot of people that don’t agree with posthumous prints would probably still buy it if they also liked the image.

Certainly an interesting topic to debate. Especially the motives of the newly established estate and the relationship the artist had with the individual managing the estate.

Sure, collectors know very well the difference between an estate release and a release by a living artist. That’s exactly why, a gallery - like Maddox - that does not disclose the “estate” nature of their prints is despicable .

If you go on Maddox’s website, there is no mention of the estate, and if you enquire about one of these prints, again they keep that very salient info for themselves (see below - that’s what they tell you if you ask for more info).

Do you consider this honest behaviour?

Castle Fine Art

These Richard Hambleton prints are not official and worth nothing!

Wow. Top notch high street gallery there 🥴

Castle Fine Art is part of Halcyon Galleries so these will be everywhere

[Pattycakes]

To echo what others have said, stay away from these they are garbage.

I’d definitely be asking more questions after receiving that email.

I’ve followed up with my contact today doing exactly the same.

Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼

[John The Badgers]

As a big Hambleton fan, would give my right arm for something from him.

However, this to me exposes how people will try and profiteer from his legacy, and appreciate all the comments on this thread.

[artylang]

wow they released from heaven!

Richard Hambleton release.

There will be a release on 1st July this year of four prints. Each measuring 28” x 60”. All are silkscreens on Torn Edged Somerset Satin Paper with between 5 and 12 screens each.

They will be released by Richard’s estate.

They come in a very small edition of 95 only.

The collection is available to pre-order at £4,950 for each image, or at the special price of £18,000 for a framed set (£16,000 unframed).

Let me know if anyone is interested, I can’t share the images but i’m happy to pass on contact details.

I wouldn’t sit on this long but he might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Finding signed works is like gold dust unless you have seriously deep pockets so it’s a great way to get some of Richard’s art on the wall with added prov from his estate.
 
Check out ‘Shadowman’ on Amazon Prime Video if you’re not aware of Richard, most on this forum would likely be aware.

DM me for contact details

Would you have any details of Richard Hambledon's estate?

I've previously searched but wasn't able to locate a website.

It interested me to find out who exactly manages the estate, and if those individuals include actual family members.

A couple of years ago, I asked a gallery about this (one that was selling Hambledon originals and posthumous releases of multiples). The woman I spoke with said she didn't know. But she also sounded rather evasive.

As far as I'm aware, Hambledon had no children. With him being born in 1952, I suspect it's unlikely that his parents are still alive. What I have no clue about is whether he has any living siblings. Moreover, Hambledon didn't strike me as being the kind of person who would necessarily have arranged for a valid will to be executed.



[In a scenario where an important artist has no heirs and no will, query whether, following their death, it would be possible for an estate in their name to be surreptitiously set up by opportunistic dealers.]

Hi Met,

Just waited on an email back to clarify bits for you. Please see below from an email I just got. Should answer most Q’s whether it’s what people want to hear is another matter!





Andy Valborbida, a well-known art dealer and collector, runs Richard’s estate and he owns the licence of his ‘brand’ via his company ‘Untitled-1’ (you’ll the company stamp on the pieces).
He was one of the very first people who started the global movement to bring Richard’s name back to its rightful place.

He and Vladimir Roitflield ‘adopted’ Richard back in 2009. Since then, Andy collected as many of his paintings in existence as possible in order to exhibit them around the world.
Valmorbida and Roitflield reintroduced Richard’s work to the world in 2009 with a big sponsorship by Giorgio Armani, who loves Richard’s art and supported his first show in over 20 years!
A series of exhibitions followed the Armani show.
The last years of Richard’s life were very difficult and he isolated himself from everyone, including Andy.
After his death, the estate passed to his only living sister. Andy Valmorbida, being so passionate about Richard and his art, purchased the estate and all the rights from her.
This way, he could continue to promote and support Richard’s amazing legacy.

Andy trusted us with this program, knowing that we will treat Richard’s name and art with the due respect he deserves.
We, Castle Fine Art, produced the silkscreen prints here in the UK.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the helpful information. Much appreciated.

I was afraid you might say Andy Valmorbida, whom I have mixed feelings about.

Valmorbida may well be in the strongest position to run Richard Hambleton's estate — especially if the artist's family members are uninterested, too elderly or otherwise incapable of doing so. He certainly has a flair for promotion, a passion, and (as owner of a stockpile of Hambleton originals) a clear vested interest.

But I also don't trust Valmorbida. The man comes across to me as almost a caricature of a dealer. He would not have looked out of place as an extra in Velvet Buzzsaw. My concern is that, in cases of almost inevitable conflict, Valmorbida's self-interest will always take precedence over those of the Hambleton estate. Selling posthumous multiples through Castle Fine Art is already a terrible omen.



Below is an article covering the 2010 London pop-up limb of a travelling exhibition — organised by Valmorbida and Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld (and sponsored by Giorgio Armani, another prominent collector of Hambleton's work). It refers to the arguably opportunistic pricing at the time. Shenanigans are also alluded to, like the renaming of artworks to blur provenance — in particular earlier sales at public auction that hammered for a small fraction of the amounts later being asked by these two dealers.

Hat tip to lee3 for kindly assisting with the research, by providing previous Hambleton sale figures only available to Artnet account holders.

Man do your research, and tell Laura & Co they're parasites trying to cash in on a dead artist 

For the fucking last time there is no Richard Hambleton Estate

Amazing artist an an absolutely intrinsic part of our culture, but really find the whole posthumous money making machine around his name distasteful. 5k for an edition of 95 for an estate print? I think if you can afford a Hambleton, you'll buy one. I think if you can't -I don't know man, watch a documentary or buy a book, no need to try and create another "estate stamped" market.

I hear what you’re saying but I can afford £5k and can’t afford the £200k for the original of one of the prints they are selling.

All DM’s answered 🙌🏻

You were told by a few users that this is a cash grab like the Maddox ones.

Any normal user would stop posting about this but now your back with a big bullshit story

What's in this for you?

What is certainly clear — especially following irl1's posts — is that anyone considering making a purchase has now been given ample warning of the need to carry out their own due diligence.

If potential buyers are basing their decisions on assurances of legitimacy of the pieces being sold, they must also verify the trustworthiness of the source of that information. And, if applicable, the source's source.



I myself have zero interest in posthumous prints.

But if I were interested in the forthcoming Hambleton (or "Hambleton") release, I'd make efforts to track down the artist's sibling(s) for direct confirmation on whether or not an estate has been established.

Given the conflicting facts we've been provided here, it would seem unwise at this stage for anyone to place their faith solely on the word of a high street gallery that is trying to sell the prints.

Yes correct they are all still alive

[esfer]

Honestly I am also not a huge fan of non related parties releasing numbered "editions" after the death of an artist.

However, some people on this board are acting like they have a vested personal interest in his work. I have a very strong doubt that is the case here, so maybe just relax a bit hey? There are so many fakes of RH in the market that it's almost ridiculous to expect anything to be "legit".

I was recently offered, 4 authorized, signed and dated by Hableton, lifetime editions, for $8500 each. As such, 5k feels way too high for a non-estate editioned release.

Just my 2 pennies.
