Susumu Kamijo 🇯🇵 Print Release • Show News • Art For Sale

[state]

Op,

Unless your services were requested by Aliso, acting as a “flipper police” will not help you suck up to the gallery for future releases. If you genuinely care for flipping, chase down the folks who flip originals for BIG bucks.
At a $5k price point, there’s no meat on the bone for flipping. In other words I doubt you’ll find an idiot to pay more than retail off the bat. What happened to people minding their own fuc*ing business?

Anyways, good luck on your hunt.

Who needs to suck up? 😂
I have my masks coming from Case and a small canvas coming from Stems. I’m happy to do this on my own accord. I’m enjoying the fact that so many people are butt-hurt over my post. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

I’ll emphasize again, anyone taking issue with my stance on this is a total fuck weasel and deserves to be doxxed. Everyone’s a smart-ass 300 pound power lifter behind a keyboard until they’re called out in the real world. (Not saying this about you State fyi, just generally).

I’ve lurked long enough, to know that a ton of members have bitched about flippers when it’s convenient for them. Yet when someone comes out of the woodwork to hold people accountable, they turn into little scared pups who bark. Life’s a bitch huh?

Now State, just to share my two cents on what you said, editions give
collectors an opportunity to own a work by an artist they love, when an original is not an option. Flippers prevent these works from getting into the hands of collectors who genuinely want to own and appreciate them. The print is already expensive, but we both know that flippers will attempt to scrap away with anything considering a profit. No matter how small. You’re telling me this print deserves to be in the hands of someone who’s banking on a 1.2k profit rather than a real collector. 🤣

You all whine about Kaws/League collectors having priority
access to popular artists. And when they end up selling shit, ya’ll point your finger and cry some more.

I’m confused as to why I’m the bad guy.

Ya’ll are maidenless. 😂😂

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.

What’s wrong with expecting a profit? The only mentality stupider than wanting to make a profit is to take the approach of dropping 5/10/25/500/100k+ on a work of art to be like: “If I lose money on this and the value never goes up, GREAT. I love paying scalable large sums on things that only depreciate”. That’s way worse than buying something you know is going to go up in profit.

[Ravnur 2020]

Looking forward to get my 167$ Susumu print from White Columns in May. If it appreciates then great (my kids and probably the taxman will benefit eventually). If not I’ll still hopefully get years of pleasure from it. That is the beauty of art when you don’t buy for profit. If you like (and can afford) what you buy you cannot really lose 😊

You must really not have a lot going on bud. Feel for you. Good luck with the policing 🚨

I was told repeatedly:

Please note that there is a lot of demand and that we will prioritise collectors who have been supportive of our program.

And


We will only confirm sales to collectors who support our program actively.

Make of that what you will.

If you can bring something big to the table, whether it be museum placement for the artist or your pouring of millions into their program, they will sit up and listen.

Aliso Editions have a programme?

Was this Nino Meir Gallery? Buy 10x Ginny Casey or Andre Butzer to be considered for a Jake Longstreth?

Wow - just wow.

If someone actually wants to police flippers I'd start with artists that more than 5% have heard of...

Sneak peek looks amazing

[Criminal Mischief]

If, by any chance, someone on here got the White Columns portfolio for the Susumu Kamijo and/or Reggie Burrows Hodges prints but was willing to part with the Leilah Babirye print for a fair and reasonable price, please lmk.

No prob. Agree it’s really nice. Didn’t think my username would match the print price when I created my account here months ago. In retrospect I wish I chose miguel100 as my username.

[Criminal Mischief]

As a printmaking enthusiast, I can't recall seeing silkscreen and woodblock printing combined on the same edition. Definitely looks like quality work.

The guys over at Marginal Editions really out side themselves. They wanted to experiment with the process a bit.

How would a clown like you know that?

[Georgie Poppit]

Have to say it’s a great example of his work and looks nicely printed. If I had a wall for this I’d go for one.

[ignition0]

Do we think these will be buyable via normal online purchasing or already sold to ‘friends and family’?
They reference a launch time which suggests maybe some available?

[Sunny Garcia]

5K eh?! Nice print, but I don't know at that price :/

[campfire headphase]

I own a couple of his paintings. This print is in my view, the most true to life depiction of one of his paintings. It looks really fucking good.
