Hi all
I have several original works on canvas by Fika Leon and am considering letting one go.
Price will be an approximate market value based on recent auction results.
Please get in touch if anyone is (seriously) looking to buy.

Thanks 

[kathart]

And what would market value be? Anyone know more about Fika? The last results seems so crazy - just out of the blue

[Bart Simpson]

Fika Leon's auction results were USD70k to USD110k so far. Looks like another Aboudia in the making and one to closely watch out for

Isn’t Fika that cool cultural thing the Swedes have, stopping work every couple hours to eat pastries and drink coffee.

Don’t get caught up in the shills. Buy up cheap artists, shill them to high heaven and dump. Same bidders over and over again

You can always rely on reading the same old negative drivel on here when an artist’s market takes off. His auction results have been extremely strong..it happens!

Let’s review this in 2 years shall we? Also, keep an eye on Emerging Artist auctions and play guess the shilled 

[Jimini Cricket]

No one talking Jammie, but his shillers have run out of money. He's been passing in at auction lately or barely making low estimate. And he used to be the hottest...

[Bart Simpson]

Another two pieces at the upcoming Contemporary Discoveries auction. Those who want one, this is a great chance but not sure if the auction will go haywire again. I've a feeling it just might.

No surprise to see what’s happening at Sothebys re Fika. Suanjaya Kencut also looking strong

[countrymouse]

Is it worrying that only had a few pieces at auction? And no gallery representation? Or a good time to buy!

[et123]

Fika is doing an absolutely amazing job at creating beautiful art…

[Hey Brooklyn]

just looks like bad art to me. But some people love it.

Can we talk about “current auction results”?
No offense to OP, I see it all the time on this forum.

Results:
minus 25% buyer premium.
Minus seller 8% premium.
Minus seller 10% premium on amount above high estimate.
Minus seller shipping and ins to auction house.
Minus seller state & federal taxes (32% NY) bc action houses report sales.

Let’s stop kidding ourselves in thinking the art is worth the hammer. The beauty of this forum is so that all parties can avoid all the above. cut out the middleman and buy and sell great art. Set a price with this in mind. Keep it honest and make it fair. And buyers, do the work. Do the research, and always keep sellers honest.

✌🏼

[Patrick 01]

At no stage did I state that I was looking for the hammer! I stated that I was using the recent auction results as a base to work from! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this!

[arte7]

Anyone know if he still sells directly? His style is growing on my! I think he have sold privately before, but don't know if it's still the case. Anyone tried?

[arte7]

I see, he just got a show at Kantor Gallery. Good or bad?

Does anyone know how he suddenly got featured at Sothebys - with not real CV or anything?

[arte7]

Lovely recap @msredhead. Two more coming to Sothebys. Will be interesting to see, if he can keep it up

[Couch Tado]

Anyone score a piece from Kantor? I was offered one of the smaller pieces and decided to bite!

[rinz]

Just made another crazy result at Sothebys. Sold for 94.500 usd.

Was your offer recently or a few weeks back? Congrats by the way! Hollywood seem to be keeping an eye on him now. 

Was actually yesterday. They offered me 2 pieces, so I went ahead and took both.

Nice. I tried to ask them, but got told that it was all sold out to californian customers

I am sure I posted earlier- Pat are you still selling yours? Sorry if your sale got lost somewhere! X

I may have one to sell. If Niels Kantor is selling multiple works to individuals,as
one of the above posts suggests,I’m happy to let go sooner rather than later 

[Bart Simpson]

Another insane result for Fika, the upcoming one in a few hours will probably go high? It's a pretty looking piece. All the best to all holders.

Happy to own an original by Fika Leon which I will keep... but damn... are we holders now? 

[gota]

I have some works for sale if there are people who are interested. Send me a private message.

Best

[kathart]

Another bad result now. Huge and hammered for 5.5k gbp:


Another previously went for 5.945gbp with fees... What is going on? From 90k to this? Do we think this will plummet his prices/career - or can he turn it and come back?

[Patrick 01]

In all fairness you can’t really compare this work to those that were in previous sales. It’s nice but a much weaker example in my opinion. His market has definitely softened and seems to be very image dependant rather than buyers throwing money at every single work due to the hype around the artist.
There’s a colourful work coming up in Christies next month.

[et123]

Yeah you can’t compare black white bad images to real paintings with amazing images. The colourful one at Christie’s right now image is cut off on bottom isn’t best image.
EVERY artist has bad images that sell low. Warhol, banksy, etc. Last 3 Fikas at auctions have been awful people trying to sell junk.

I just saw this AMAZING image. First amazing image in a while I put link below:

Hello
pls can you share image and price of the Fika Leon’s work you have for sale. Am interested 

[et123]

I buy many other artists from all over the world. I have been collecting fika, kenkut and jj for a long time. Just cause they have hype now is cause of there incredible work as artists…

[Patrick 01]

Bill Brady not Bradley.

March apparently. Agree re the Kantor “fiasco”!
