Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by cashman on May 23, 2008 18:23:25 GMT 1, cheers for the pictures gerry, however that first one of the line made me feel ill all those suits just doesn't seem right. Things are slipping I feel...? What did you expect in Selfridges? Anyway what's the problem with wearing a suit? How can you judge people by what they wear and then say stuff like 'things are slipping'? Absolute bull
im guessing by your reaction that you are indeed a man in suit, The fact they refused entry to a tramp sez more

I sometimes wear a suit (mainly for weddings), yes. But if you are discriminating against me then you are just as bad as the people who discriminated against the tramp - it wasn't me who refused him entry.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by gerry on May 23, 2008 23:39:58 GMT 1, ive also just read the following on a blog "two comedy moments from the night. First was a Drewett Neate guy asking if Banksy was here tonight, so told him that if he was, heβd have come heavily disguised, probably as a homeless guy. To which he replied βBut we turned a homeless guy away earlier when he tried to get in!β. Told him that probably had been Banksy. Hope he didnβt believe me." taken from: bristolgraffiti.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/1400/The above statement shows that even ppl that live on the street, cant see the street art anymore
Yeah, but that was me jerking with some posh harry enfield 'tim nice but dim' style character on the street outside, who was asking me all sorts of questions about Banksy back in the day, and thus, in the Bristol tradition, deserved to get fed some antics.
The Banksy dressed as a homeless guy for public events thing i understand was true, but the notion of Selfridges letting homeless people into the exhibition in case they're Banksy seemed to be a very Banksy thing to be encouraging. After all, do you think the message in the 'morons' print wasn't heartfelt?
Seriously, i have no way of telling anymore sadly, but i reckon the Banksy i knew back in the day would have been amused by someone encouraging a posh auction house to let homeless people into an exclusive show to drink champagne.
cheers for the pictures gerry, however that first one of the line made me feel ill all those suits just doesn't seem right. Things are slipping I feel...? See, i felt that too last night in a way, having been around when Banksy was just essentially another tagger round Bristol. But at the same time, i'm beginning to realise that there shouldn't be an issue with these guys making some money back on what they've been doing for yonks. They've been arrested, and often charged with criminal offences, for their art, more than once, and they've still stuck with it, because they do it for the love. Is it now wrong for them to get someone to at least pay for their paint after umpteen years? People like Nick Walker especially, he's getting his payback now and everyone suddenly loves him, but really, the stuff he's done purely cos he loves doing what he does goes wayback. How does being paid for your work make you less authentic? What did you expect in Selfridges? Anyway what's the problem with wearing a suit? How can you judge people by what they wear and then say stuff like 'things are slipping'? Fully. I was wearing a suit at the night, and i felt awkward doing so, but still, judge not people by their appearance, but by the character of their soul. Or, or something...

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by iAmCxxx on May 24, 2008 0:42:08 GMT 1, It's not a question of wearing a suit or being some homeless fella. It's about people being into decent art or just being involved to make a 'sound investment'.
I guarantee three quarters of the folk at selfridges are there because they want to pick up a future investment. And even then, that's not entirely a bad thing. Banksy et al's popularity gets people into an art scene that had no platform even 2 years ago and now it allows artists that wouldn't otherwise be seen. Grafter's a great example of a lad who we all appreciate now because of this forum.
There's good art and bad art out there.
Let the tit-bags pick up the investments while we appreciate and vet the good art and the bad art.
It's easy to buy every release when you've got bundles in your pocket but if you don't appreciate what you're buying then what's the f**king point.
Art is sound.
New artists are sound.
That's it.

Dreweatts Art Auctions π¬π§, by slowmo on May 26, 2008 11:52:34 GMT 1, Feel for s-editions on this. If you wanted to try for a piece you go along and bid for it, no fastest finger, bid as much as you think is reasonable and if you get outbid then you'll know someone wanted that piece more than you, as they were willing to pay more for it.
Its far more egalitarian than having F5 on auto repeat, online selling encourages flipping, selling new work at auction prices, well it sets the right price. I am assuming anyone could rock up and bid?

How could Walker be there if he is out of the country? HITTING UP MEANS PASTING, SPRAYING OR STICKING ART TO WALLS THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU.

Do you think the forthcoming Dreweatts auction will be a step too far?, with very poor results, mediocre stuff in the auction etc.
Will it lead to a readjusting of the prices for this art scene, or, do you think it will be a blinding success and give everything a lift.
