swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by classy on Jul 24, 2008 19:33:23 GMT 1, 1. it was a benefit auction 2. it was a benefit auction 3. it was a benefit auction
Hey everyone sorry to be out of touch - I will respond to all the PMs in turn please be patient.
I'm not really one for engaging in the pissing contest about who is really a collector who isn't and not am not a huge fan of people telling others when they can and can't sell their art as we're all adults here, but with that said I spoke to my friend...he says he met "ricosg" at the auction and that the guy couldn't stop talking himself up about how much money he made "flipping" banksy prints and how much money there was to be made in Parla's work and it just seems this holier than thou business is a bunch of hot air.
Rico, are you saying that my friend somehow deprived the gallery of money? Please explain how this is so, as he paid the gallery MORE than they would have made if the next bid had won?? Also, how much of the cash you made from "flipping" Banksy prints did you give back to the artist?

swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by ricosg11 on Jul 24, 2008 20:02:45 GMT 1, cool man. Totally misinerpreted though, Banksy bit is at least half right. Selling his prints allowed me to buy art that I love and can grow with.
As for Parla, kid said his parents wanted a piece and I just explained to him how his work had changed my life and allowed me to walk around the city and see peeling paint, scribbled tags, and torn posters as art. If that's bigging myself up, so be it.
As for arguing over the merits of instantly flipping a piece from a benefit auction...Ive said what I have to say.
goodluck with the sale buddy. Better yet enjoy your print. Peace.

Using the "selling for a friend" excuse = weak sauce
