#Is the world about to go D*Face mad??

[moff]

[giiiant]

Seems to me that people who own a lot of his stuff are hyping like mad while everyone else looks on with indifference

i own a lot of his stuff but i am disappointed that i probably can't afford to own more of the ones i like - certainly not from the secondary market at the moment that's for sure.

[fatherxmas]

slacker what you got..maybe we could do a few trads

It is amazing to me that people hype shit up soooooo much. D* Face is forsure very talented, but are you all honestly telling me you would rather own his stuff than Adam Neate's??? IMO this is what the street art world is based on and it is all hype. Beejoir, Micallef & Neate(to some degree) have all had their market hurt by all of this over-hyping! For one auction to blow up Nick Walker and D* Face because a few of their pieces sold for good money is crazy. the hurd will get burned in the long run. If Neate had a few prints in Bonhams auction they would have probably done very well, but because there was not any people forget about him. I may just be talking out of my ass, but I fear that these people that over hype a lot of these artists and then the hurd follows in mass buying could be very dangerous in the long run for street art....

I'm with the conrarians here. I feel that Dface in particular, eclipsing so many artists who appear to me at least to be a lot more talented (such as Neate and Micallef in particular) is a very temporary trend. Herd mentality is strong enough to create and maintain markets, but I hope it doesn't prevail over logical appraisal of truly quality art. I know it's just my opinion and that of some others and I hope all the Dface collectors out there get a lot of pleasure from his work, but I just feel it's more niche than some other work out there, which so efortlessly crosses over into the domain of "fine art" which could soon be more cheaply available than the works of Dface! Micallef and Neate prices stagnating while Dface and Walker prices go through the roof somehow seems pretty surreal. No offense intended to the die hard Dface faithful!

[manty]

I dont think dface is hyped, although my definition of hype may be askew

All i see are a few people that want to own everything he has done regardless.

I own a few of his pieces which are on the wall, and i like them, and I should have bought a couple of tarts when i could.

His 2 new prints in my mind are crap, and i wouldnt buy them at cost

If his market crashes and burns then I hope he doesnt bare the brunt of it, he seems like an ok guy thats not in it for the money

[ricosg11]

ya know what great about art....that anyone can like anything. D face doesnt do much for me and long term he will be lucky to be a footnote, as long as you like what you have is all that matters. Before you go laying out 1000's of your choice of currency think about whether you would want that on your wall in 10 years.

[Harveyn]

Manty - I have to agree. His last two prints I would not accept as a gift and I am a huge Dface fan.

I do hope both Nick and Dface do not suffer from this sudden hype. Either way it will not stop me loving and wanting some of his pieces (you know you want to Manty... .

It will be interesting to see what Adam produces for his next show in May. If it even comes remotely close to "Paintings, Pots and Prints" then I think he will start to set himself apart from the rest.

On the bright side if enough of the wankers who are in it for the money get their fingers singed, lose a bit and fuck off, the healthier the whole pleasant habbit will be for the rest of us... I've got the utmost respect for anyone whos out there " doing it" in their own way, and firmly believe that alot of artists really dont want alot of the hype that is thrust upon them ( alot who deserve it dont want it, alot who want it definately dont deserve it). Personal opinion is great, pointless hype...... not so great.

[manty]

Neil

I am thinking about it

[a4mnt]

who's hyping?

i don't see much hyping on the lightside. i know what that tells me.

[fatherxmas]

people are obviously trying to talk down prices.
dface is here to stay and prices are going keep going up. as fast as the passed couple of weeks..maybe but i doubt it personally. prices will creep gradually.
imo

[bill]

I am not looking to talk down prices at all. I have had a lot of time and opportunities to buy D* Face stuff. I was just throwing it out there for discussion

[junkieart]

I own a few works by dface, just thought I'd throw this out, is his work not only inflated by B's work being unobtainable?

[a4mnt]

I hear now is a good time to pick up some Cartrain?

[Harveyn]

If you keep this up Cracka my collection will be worth nothing.....

[dslug]

opinions are like assholes.

[junkieart]

I brought my first 5 banksy in 03, Previous POW it was young photographs something. Do you not think D*face is a swim off, I've seen dface's website with clothing etc, also seen eelus grow at the same time, two years ago. But EELUS was way bigger this time last year!!
Ideas??

[junkieart]

Oh bytw how do u get star?

you steal them off people like me who clearly have too many.

Sorry Harveyn, which part of your extensive collection do you mean though.

Mine's all Choe and Micallef, so about 50p should cover them at the moment. ;D
