If a street piece is on his website you can't question it's provenance really

I beg to differ. The picture quality is poor and the opportunity to just copy is high.

Yes I was, thanks!

[dealersam]

no probs buddy.

[alsbabar]

how much do you guys think this piece is worth if it was for sale?

[Rude Copper]

it looks like a cluedo game card,
was that the piece that didn't sell at auction?

[dotdot]

i think it was the piece failed to sell.
(anyone got a link?)

reserve too high ?

the hair is ala rsp (though not 3d) - interesting piece.

is it for sale alsa ? (prob way out of my range though..)

not a shade on lighthouse though.. which IS the image from the show!.imho

..

[alsbabar]

it is the piece that didnt sell just wanted to gauge peoples opinion, that if Neates stuff is from 40K-115K, then why didnt this go over £37K at Bonhams?

Maybe because people didn't like the image? You don't just lay out 40k cos it's a Neate. You have to like it too.

Also,. 37k is what it reached in the room, add another 20% and thats what the highest bidder would have had to pay. The seller must have had a 40k reserve which would have probably meant he'd have broke even with commissions if it had reached that figure. But it obviously back fired and now he's f**ked. He obviously bought it in october to flip it straight away and got burnt. I thought the card was too thin also for my liking.

The picture actually looks better than it does in the flesh in my opinion.

[guest2]

here is his better half .... much much better half!

[spirit]

I just think this one is relatively weak as Neate portraits go. I prefer all the portraits in the current show to this one. I Also find the proportions of the shoulders/body compared to the head very odd.

[Simococo]

I would have thought 45k

[alsbabar]

agreed frankie, 40K would have been the reserve, I think Bonhams charge 25% comm then vat onm top, so its £55K or there abouts
