Hi all,

I have an artist friend that was gifted a unique Invader entitled Quarter Space in 2003.

It was recently sent back to Invader for some restoration work and to acquire the COA - which is in the artists and owners name & confirms it is a 1/1.

What do you think this is worth everyone?

I’ve no idea and neither does the owner, and he’s thinking of selling.

PS it’s still with Invader so will ship directly from him in France

Thanks!

will offer cost at €50.

but realistically this is in alias territories so £30k+ maybe even £40k+

Thanks for sharing. So Invader is cleaning up an old gift. I wouldnt be happy if it went straight to sale. It's worth a lot.. of gratitude.

they've had it for nearly 20 years and can do what the hell they want with it

Not sure what's the exact size of it but I'd probably say you can relate it with the mosaic books. Those from Paris 1.0 are from 2003 too. Those are also unique, got a similar number of tiles and come signed with a coa...
They go for sale on auction around 30-40k+premium
Maybe a starting point here?

Also during the last Invader exclusive sale the following item went for 38k (+ premium)

Item 1/1 made of tiles on a brick

Great piece ! You'll need to share the precise dimensions if you want to get a better idea of how much it could be worth...

Based on its place in history (early - 2003) and size I wouldn't be surprised if he gets an estimates above EUR 60K for it from auction houses. The auction route is not always the best IMHO (time, payment, uncertainty, luck) and I tend to prefer the "private" route myself but probably a little discount to be applied if you go that (faster / safer) route...

Agreed! Thanks very much

I don't know of any alias going for less than 80k euros. This one would be a very early work, looks quite nice in my own view and is very 'invader'.
Can you share the coa?

Thank you 😊

The piece is with Invader currently and he has said to the owner:

''it was made for you, and there are not 2 like this, It is a "pièce unique", (not an invasion kit, not an edition)

and it is not an Alias, it does not exist in the street. ''

As far as Invader can remember there are only 2 or 3 quarter ones, and the ones on wood he only did for friends.

[choca69]

Morning all!

The owner has stated that they’d accept £60k / €70k for thé piece (plus shipping and any import duties).

Best,

This is all very odd because artists usually dont like fixing up gifts to be immediately sold but who knows - maybe he doesnt care.

Take it to auction. Easy answer.
