I guess I wouldn't mind another one if one came up

[rkitek]

I'm curious what you all estimate one of the smaller sized Parla watercolours [66 x 85 cm] go for in this market -- any idea?

[afroken]

The last large one I heard about selling went for £12k and that was recently, so I guess 7-8k for a 22x30" smaller one?

[covertshadowops]

£15K for a big one actually.... even elms has heard that.

i really good one will fetch 20K i think.

watch the bonhams auction.... 2 there in that. £15K-20K all in i expect.

I think one has to be careful with wording a question like that. Clearly the market for Parla's works is thriving and not in any way related to most of the art which changes hands through these boards or trends that might be relative to it. IMO, everytime a Parla is sold in the public domain, valuations of his work will increase, as demand hugely outweighs supply. I can't see this changing in the near future either. So this would in no way reflect trends affecting, for example, signed Banksy prints or even most artists' originals at this specific moment in time. Parla's work is special and buyers won't become sellers overnight, in the vast majority of cases.

[rkitek]

I actually thought I was being careful in my wording to be honest.

The reason it was asked in that fashion was two-fold. First, while I tend to agree with you that people are not apt to quickly buy and sell Parla originals just now there still is a certain degree of market fluctation based on popularity (of course, I understand that some people will disagree -- that's just my perception and opinion).

And second, the question was also intended to solicit a response as to their current value as you do not see many come up for sale. In my case, I actually have a small Parla watercolour that I have no interest in selling (which tends to support your comment) and was just curious how the price had changed since I purchased it from Elms last year.

I understand Andipa has watercolors available for 15k GBP. I haven't confirmed this myself, as not in the market any longer.

[snausages]

the 30 x 44 watercolors were 9k retail just 8 months ago and that's US DOLLARS — I had better things to do than to spend that much for a work on paper so passed. Personally I think you're out of your friggin mind to spend more than 15k USD on one but that's cool I'm glad to see people chasing this stuff, means you guys will be well spent chasing all this stuff at Bonhams Urban Art Auction and for me that means less competition to pick up some nice contemporary art.

They were £7.5k in Genoa

Where are they now thats what I want to know.

[graeme501]

question : are there really none for sale ie: have they gone to good homes, or are a few people just waiting until the show when they will get a better return on their £7.5k purchase ?

I think it is more of a case of the buyers knowing that there are bigger things to come from Parla; why sell now when there is Parla's solo show at Elms in a couple of months time - which is both hugely anticipated and has a waiting list as long as that wall in China!

[Winter]

Elms are going to have to think very hard as to how to price the next show. I would guess the large watercolours will be £10k+vat with small canvases starting at £15k+vat

They are all already sold for sure.
