Allthough I recently bought this from harveyn in here, I have just been given the chance to purchase a Parla this summer which is a dream coming true for me.

So, if anyone´s interested in this fabolous piece, feel free to pm me with offers. Usually I put a price on it, but I am not 100 about selling this and it would take the right offer for me to part with it.

Details about the piece:

Oil on wood, measures 30 x 40 cm and comes framed from gallery and with POA.

Can pm more photos if interested.

thats a great piece

This isn't really an attack, but it seems like every week you are parting with something over something else. Last week it was your other Choe which you were parting with because you now had this one, and now all the sudden this is expendable for a parla? Then there's the school bills I think I remember you bringing up as a reason.......

yeah but a parla changes everything

if u get the chance 2 buy 1, bills or no bills, u find a way

I suppose you're right. I would probably reach into the lower depths of my collection for a parla as well

On another note: is it me or is this the 3rd or 4th person this WEEK to claim they're selling so they can afford a Parla? Where are all of these mysterious Parlas coming from?

[graeme501]

congrats on the chance 2 buy a parla

a question, how do u get on the list ?

[origo]

I know, gave it some thoughts myself, but I am selling at reasonable prices and not trying to rip anyone off with flipping or insane prices.

Only thing, I am just trying not to loose anything, and the Parla was actually something I forgot about and then I got a reminder the other day. We all know the price on a Parla, and being a student that means I will have to part with a few things.

Can´t have it all, I´d wish I could though.

I contacted a gallery a long time ago, they said they would get back to me when there was something available again and the other day I got the reminder.

But who pulls 5k out of the pocket like that? Not me for sure.

[Eton Groover]

Well come on then, how much do you want for it?

[origo]

Not under 3100...

[Eton Groover]

Oh well, good luck... that won't buy a lot of parlas.

[origo]

I have saved some money besides the one´s I get from a potential sale of this, not far off.

agreed 100%. If you have a chance, sell everything to start the fund.

Cash + trade could be an option.

About Parla, when I first looked at his work I wasn´t that impressed, then I sat down and started browsing the net. The more I looked the more beauty I saw, almost hypnotized by the magic of Parla´s lines, coming from the mind of this genius.

I have seen many fabolous artists, especially after joining this forum, but Parla is to me in a league of his own, his work is beyond time and space. Timeless stuff to stare at for a lifetime, almost as good as looking at stars in the middle of the night, that´s free though.

So, fund my obsession please. ;D

[origo]

Guy Denning´s also an option.

[Eton Groover]

How much did you pay Harveyn for it?

[origo]

That should between him and me, but when I said not under 3100 I am just trying to get back what I paid.

Are you interested? You seem curious...

[Eton Groover]

No I'm not interested thanks. As you say just curious.

From needing the cash for a Parla, to accepting swaps or a Denning in the space of 2 hours stretches credulity.

Could be prints or drawings, but you seem to draw conclusions on your own.

Don´t worry bout my financial situation, I am quite capeable.

you thinking of one grame?

if i read right you are a currently unemployed student no?!!

you must have been saving up those loans...

[origo]

Student yes, unemployed no, loan yes, drink or smoke no, eat alot of pasta and ketchup and watch footballgames for free (FC Copenhagen - Man U. 1-0, the best free footballgame ever).

Being young is fun, so should art be.

[robotoil]

Who cares what origo is doing with his art. No need for explanations. Sometimes you have to live with the art before you know if it is going to stick. We're all big boys here. And wasn't this piece sold from Campbarbosa not too long before listing at $8500. If you like Choe, this original is priced very nicely.

[Heavyconsumer]

Agreed. It's one of those pieces that everytime it pops up it turns my head. I just don't have the wonga to throw at it. I'm after a few specific pieces (although not in this price range admitedly). Most of Jose's work is very special and very soon may have moved beyond the current price range. I know it's already very tough to get a hold of, so to anyone who has the opportunity, good luck. To be honest his work is already out of my reach and was by the time I knew of it, but it's nice to see fellow members grabbing pieces and showing them off on here.

[origo]

Now on ebay, but I´d prefer to sell or trade it to a forum member.

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120269287412&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=002

Still available, still taking offers. Had a few, nothing that pushed me over the edge yet.

[origo]

Now a couple of interesting offers came on the table.
