Well chuffed, got the WC portfolio offered for the presale price. Bought the 2019 portfolio (with Arthur Jafa, Katherine Bradford, Alvaro Barrington etc) from WC and the ladies there are absolute stars to deal with and the packaging was second to none.
Really looking forward to get these prints in May-June.

Anybody else got lucky this time around?

Yep, am absolutely buzzing! The Susumu alone would’ve made it more than worth it, but Reggie Burrows Hodges being in there as well has tipped this over to being my favourite buy for a long while. I’ve only bought individual prints from them in the past, so it’s good to hear they package the portfolios well👍

Anyone see the new Susumu release with Case Studyo?

Not sure on price etc, but they look nice!

Interesting interpretation from his newer works. Looks good

[Jimini Cricket]

It was in the WhatsApp group in December. Bunch of gallery owners and friends 😉.

[Cocteau 101]

Not sure I'd fancy hanging them on the wall. I like his process of abstraction but not sure it works in these pieces at all.

Is it me or they often don’t have the best image selection for their artists editions

Am I correct that Susumu has only made 4 prints, Aliso x2, White columns and Exhibitiona? The Aliso ones are awesome and I like the the large White Columns print a lot.

Because I’m an asshole....

Just wanted to warn the community that I’m determined to expose anyone trying to sell off the new Aliso edition on the forum. I’m good friends with the founders and have recently become acquainted with Susumu personally. I promised them I’ll pass along any and all information a regarding possible resellers.

If you were offered the edition, be a good boy and enjoy it.

If this post has your jimmies rustled, you can take your boomer ass off the inter-webzzzz. Yeet

As a huge fan of your posts, I’m disappointed in the implied sarcasm.
But please correct me if I’m wrong

We both know that works always end up being sold to the wrong people.

I’ve been collecting Susumu before he even started his poodle series, and I care deeply about his work getting into the hands of the right people. This edition should be enjoyed by those who genuinely love his work and want the opportunity to own something incredible.

I have given up trying to get a Susumu. I contacted multiple galleries he worked with and was pretty much ignored. 😒🐩🚫

Ugh, that’s frustrating. Happy to talk strategy if you shoot me a DM with your approach.

What are you, the Gastapo SS? They’re prints, not Picasso’s Guernica. If someone buys something and money changes hands in exchange for an object, they give cash for ownership and possession. What they do with it it is their business. Focus more on enjoying the things you enjoy and less on policing other people.

Blame the competition on the art bros. Once people like Harper, or Chehebar, or Xiao or Marquez or Simcho or to a lesser extent, that dumfuck asshole Todd Kramer get involved, it becomes art bro art. Then all the spin and hype become a factor and you can kiss your chances goodbye. Then it all goes to KAWS/LEAGUEOTO/Sneaker collector types.

+1 on a respectable response, especially your last sentence. I hear you.

I hate the idea of “policing”, trust me! I just get so frustrated by flipping culture. I’m sure we’ve all had moments where we’ve inquired about a work only to find that it’s sold out and instantly thrown on the Bay or forum by flippers.

I totally get that circumstances change tho, and just because someone is selling something doesn’t mean they’re a flipper. By sometimes it’s clear that they are.

Literally everyone is on here selling things they bought at one point, p2p. That’s what this whole cesspool that is the UAA is all about. Selling for profit on your purchase. If that aggravates you, you picked the wrong place to sign up an account on. Just saying.

You do realize that it’s because of this “flipping”, that Susumu is able to charge $5K a print (Ed of 60), $6K for a small wood sculpture (Ed of 50) and $12K for a large wood wall piece (Ed of 75)…all in the last year!?

How about we talk about his primary jump in less than 12 months? $15K to $45K?!

Without the very recent secondary market sales, allllll of that ^^ doesn’t happen.

So it looks to me that Susumu is doing better, and in such high demand, because of this “flipping” (or can we can just call it secondary sales)!?

When will people realize that a healthy secondary market is actually beneficial, and essential to an artist’s career. Yes it sucks you can’t get the work now, but next time support an artist realllly early (when there is no hype)! 😝

Someone sell me a Jordy Kerwick for $8K please. How dare these people re-sell the paintings for $200K. Like, WTF??!!!

P.s. Susumu was easily available for years (2017-2020) 😉

[Georgie Poppit]

Big artists should only really care about flipping of originals.

[Modern Rembrandt]

I appreciate those who messaged me to have a constructive conversation, and I respect those who have simply posted their opinions here. But the fact that so many people are clearly triggered by my post really cracks me up. Even some users who I always respected are seemingly irked. Lol

Like I emphasized before, I know that not everyone selling a work is a “flipper”, but there are moments where someone is clearly in it for the “profit” thus taking a work out of the hands of a serious collector. Anyone defending this is just doing it to be fuck weasel online, because I know everyone here has had a moment at least once where they’ve lost opportunities to purchase a work due to flippers.

Now I’m not saying that the secondly market is all bad. Obviously, it’s beneficial to the artist in the long run. I’m only calling out those who buy a work and then try to off it immediately at double the price.

The fact that you think that it’s ok to tell tales on those of us who have sold a Kamijo is laughable! You’re digging yourself a deeper hole every time you post about this garbage!

1. I said if someone is flipping the Aliso edition. Never said Susumu in general, you projected that yourself. Lol

2. U MaD BruH?

Please don't be offended by my laughing emoji. I think your opening line was enough for me to hit that button.
I agree there is nothing more annoying than missing a drop, then see it for sale within days or hours, but it's part of the game and something you have to put up with.
As someone said, as much as the artists and publishers make out they hate flippers, they are part of what makes the market for them.

I have a older susumu print if anyone is interested
