JOSE PARLA ORIGINAL AT SOTHEBY'S, by Va Va Voom on Feb 23, 2009 23:21:49 GMT 1, This was painted by Jose in 2000 and is a fairly important work in as much that it documents a change in his style. Agree that this has been strategically priced to promote as many bidders as possible,after all you cannot buy a watercolour for that price !. I believe that the 6x4s at Elms are now pushing 60k.

JOSE PARLA ORIGINAL AT SOTHEBY'S, by Va Va Voom on Feb 23, 2009 23:26:17 GMT 1, Mose, yeh I know they are mainly known for design but Christina Grajales is hugely respected in contemporary circles. Who's kidding who here? Do you have any clue what goes on behind the scenes in "contemporary circles?" I work at a contemporary art gallery in NY and Grajales is not only NOT "hugely respected" it's practically never even mentioned in contemporary art circles. Please chill with the hype. I was really really curious to see what the "contemporary" Sotheby's crowd would actually bid this up to but now that's not possible. My honest opinion is that it would barely hit the top estimate, maybe a little more if it's a good day. But now that it's all over the Banksy forum it's going to be hard to say as all the Parla groupies are probably creaming their pants now, selling their dface prints and emptying their piggy banks. Sky's the limit here when buyers are basing prices on emotions and not on reality.
OUCH ....tad stinging for me there, whilst I agree with some of the latter points, your earlier comment on it not reaching top estimate is way out of line IMO.

That's going under a huge assumption that people on the Banksy forum have the actual coin to pony up purchasing (not talking about purchasing)
LOL at "selling their DFace prints and emptying their piggy banks!"
Lovely Parla btw!

Hey get over yourself, and yes I do know what goes on in contemporary circles and yes I have many acquaintances in contemporary circles so get off your fuckin high horse. Your negative on many things and whilst I understand your reasoning if you read my post I stated Parla doesn't need unnecessary hype. As far as Grajales are concerned in my view they are a highly respected gallery, let me know who you work for and what position you hold and we'll take it from there. No one likes a smart ass!

JOSE PARLA ORIGINAL AT SOTHEBY'S, by funster on Feb 24, 2009 0:18:46 GMT 1, This is a good Parla, but there's a distinct lack of 'slush fund' money circulating right now. I'm seeing from all sectors that the appetite for such work is probably at an all time low. There's only 2 art markets right now where I'm getting positive feedback from. Time will tell though. (btw - it will definatelty exceed all estimates).

I thought you would have had Sam's number.

- Calling Cristina Grajales one of the top NYC galleries is a bit much - snausages - I still think you're wrong on the 'level' of collector on this forum. Have you tried to sell anything here in the past year? You get ridiculously low offers or a swap that usually involves an Eelus (no offense to Eelus) - I am interested in what gallery you work at also bc I get to NYC frequently and love meeting fellow collectors/galleries (feel free to PM if you don't want your business public) - I'd gladly pay $12-15K for this piece if offered privately today. And you could call me a Parla fanatic, a Sotheby's regular contemporary collector, or your b!tch... but I'd have a 4x7 cracking Parla on my walls

I don't necessarily think this board represents the buying power of the urban art movement

Bit strong for you Cocteau, you normally advice people to calm down on forum disputes.
I agree with lot of Snausages comments though. Parla is a matter of taste and his fans tend to overplay his importance. The jury is still firmly out on his place in contemporary art, unless you confine that jury to .info.

As for G I stand by my comments even if they are a bit strong.

JOSE PARLA ORIGINAL AT SOTHEBY'S, by urbanangel on Feb 24, 2009 16:35:13 GMT 1, It looks like a low estimate but who knows? It's an early work, from 2000 according to Cityscapes. Looks like the decsription has the wrong size though( should be 6'x4'). A good example of his early work and will be intereseting to see how it does at auction. Does anyone know the date of Jose's first gallery work? The earliest paintings I've seen in his catalogues date from 2000.
I have a piece in my personal collection from 1999. i don't think i've seen earlier than that though...but sure there are some out there...he's been painting for many, many years.

Isn't the point that they do sell out at this price? Doesn't that suggest that there are serious collectors out there with this kind of wedge to spend on Parla?
Or are we to believe that, even at this price, they are being snapped up by "Parla groupies emptying their piggy banks" as suggested by Snausages?
It may not be the traditional collector that he is used to dealing with through his employment but maybe his gallery and many others, and the collectors they serve, are missing a trick here.
quite a few of my acquaintances believe the jose parla bubble is allegedly one of cleverly executed hysteria and market manipulation.
Another conspiracy theory to add to the long list that this scene seems to relish.

Doesn't that suggest that there are serious collectors out there with this kind of wedge to spend on Parla? Or are we to believe that, even at this price, they are being snapped up by "Parla groupies emptying their piggy banks" as suggested by Snausages? It may not be the traditional collector that he is used to dealing with through his employment but maybe his gallery and many others, and the collectors they serve, are missing a trick here. quite a few of my acquaintances believe the jose parla bubble is allegedly one of cleverly executed hysteria and market manipulation. Another conspiracy theory to add to the long list that this scene seems to relish.

Are you saying the price isn't absolutely ludicrous?

No I'm not. Of course it's ludicrous and completely alien to me.
