Yes, I don't think Blek has ever been very good at marketing himself to collectors, maybe he needs some sort of PR management.

Has ANY show poster ever been £500? Who knows, maybe Blek knows the market better than our wallets do. Good luck to him, but that seems like a lot. Especially for such a depressing image. More like Bleak le Rat.
Hand stencil a rat on each one for £500 and it might be a different story. Give the market what it wants.

You'd be there 'til midnight, going through each poster individually. The staff, crying, begging you to let them go home. You telling them, nah, I'm a collector. You sit back down.
And another thing.
I like that they're fully describing the merchandise, but the specific mention of "felt-tip pen" doesn't classically scream "high end product". Just say signed.

Blek le Rat • "Art is not Peace, but War" Print Release , by drip on Jun 28, 2024 9:37:42 GMT 1, I love Blek, as both a man and an artist, I do, and I get the struggles of the artist. I too have wondered at times whether my hands will ever be clean again. Like, truly clean. Clean to the point where a friend or relative will hand me their new baby without momentarily hesitating.
"I WON'T GET PAINT ON THE NEW BABY!"
.........
"WELL DON'T TRY TO GIVE IT TO ME THEN!"
........
"I KNOW IT'S NOT AN IT!"
Anyway, I'm not sure whether I like the message, that art is war. It's not. It's a struggle at best. It's turmoil and financial hardship, it's being called a loser by people eating your cheese and drinking your wine at YOUR opening night.
Art is a privilege, art is escape from war and the horrors of life. Art is a moment of pause. Do you want to know what truly is a battle? Selling 100 show posters for £500 each.

But Artist profiles change, and at unforseen points. Maybe they will make it happen maybe not. Possibly a good time to pile in and buy the older prints if your looking for them though.

Yep, some artists really struggle to sell their art. Blek did so many shitty prints while crying-baby he is not getting the attention he deserves; then he tried collabs.
Reminds me of Warhol doing shit while hanging with youngsters to remain in the market and inspired. His name will remain in the art history book and his latest show was a sold out. He should be a happy man now, so why this? I guess there is more than recognition, he is either greedy or sold his soul to the greediest 
It's a rat race
PS. Selling "Diana and Angel" for 950 GBP.

"...The first 20 orders will receive a FREE limited edition Woodbury House X Blek le Rat cap and t-shirt."
I bet those are long gone though.
Has Blek ever had an agent or manager, or has it just been a steady stream of blokes he's meeting for the first time?

This ambitious pricing feels like something that happens when you're surrounded by "yes men". We all want to feel special, but sometimes you also need to have "no men" and also "let's-just-hold-on-a-minute" men.
