Just wondering how much a Nick Walker Box would cost to purchase, as in the equivelant of the adam neate that sold at bonhams a few weeks ago. Does anybody own one that they would be willing to part? thanks in advance for your help

cool, not sure whether £750 is cheaper or more expensive than i thought. They are hand finished of a limited run, but it is effectively a pizza box... hmm....

Considering what a cracking book is inside and fact hand painted you would have to offer me a lot more than £750 for my pizza box ;D ;




I wonder how many boxes are owned by forum members, would be great to see pictures!!!

There were a couple of astro boxes I would have loved to have got my hands on but they were randomly distributed so never managed to track them down.

In the world of art is paper more valuable than cardboard or vice versa?

Cardboard won't last as long as paper.

I try to stay away from pieces that contain house paint, cardboard, nonarchival paper, etc.

Thanks for advice although now I am worried my two ghetto ghosts are going to disappear in front of me!!!!!

How long will works on cardboard last and what happens to them?

Note to self avoid pieces on cardboard in the future sorry Jef and Neates.

Nick has photos of all 100 boxes that he did - all slightly different...

what is wrong with latex housepaint? many established artists use it. I see no problem if the piece is then correctly lacquered.....

same with the cardboard thing -- s long as it is lacquered there and stored correctly there should be no problem....

edit* lacquer, varnish, you know what I mean.

This seems a little ambitious

Looks like one ManchesterMike spotted being sold for 4 times the price!!!!

[beasty]

That does sound a bit pricey. I managed to pick up a Paint Chucker canvas from the LA show and it was almost half the price of this pizza box!! I'm pretty sure that this box was up on Ebay a few months ago for about 100 quid and didn't have any bidders.

[romanywg]

I really like those paint chuckers, would work well as a street piece.

What does "The box i was suggest is in better the average condition for its age." mean?
