i liked seeing the stuff as i just knew the cr@p pow prints. Some interesting stuff but not my cuppa. Still better than what i had seen before.

Thanks for the heads up but nothing on there for me too

Yeah I know I was kinda hoping for prices like they were on the Faile site but sadly out of range now!

Nevermind

still hope Faile has some reasonable prices ......

[Opus Underground]

My mistake for thinking I would get in there first with the news and not checking ;D

Silky feel free to use you magic and merge the threads or whatever!

I was hoping a biggest difference between black/white prints and colored/numbered ones....I have almost no money right now...Bad period and I love Bast...Thus, I thought I would be out for the one offs or the numbered one but could get the "regular" ones....

But maybe lower prices would have created quickly a secondary market and hype...Not sure it's that bad that prices were immediately set at a certain level...Maybe the artist making money instead of resellers and less hype...I got one and I'm happy...And maybe, when I have enough money I will have a shot again...

Good way to stop flippers though, you gotta pay them the money to get the piece, rather than the lucky so and so who gets it first. Fair enough I think, if the demand is there.

Gutted... $400 for an unsigned BAST print? Good site though, love Bast's work.

i picked one up and i doubt i'll be disappointed once i see it in person. let's see ... one of a hand-finished edition of four for the same price of a regular old faile print in an edition of 121? you get my point.

that said, i very much doubt faile's new prints will be any cheaper. more expensive, if anything. good for them, bad for me, cuz i'm broke as f*** now.

I had arranged a trip to Los Angeles to see Bast's show in late August. I had hoped to buy an original but I saw the prices from his last show at New Image Art in Hollywood and the prices were very high.

Last night I bit the bullet and picked up the "STOUFFERS PORKY" original off the BAST website. I also got a "MOLOTOV DWARF" on foil vinyl whatever that is.

Judging by the size of the pieces, the relative scarcity of BAST's pieces made specifically for fine art collectors, he is a legitimate and well known NY street artist ans not some poser, and the fact that he has a big solo show coming up at New Image Art Gallery I believe these prices were very fair.

I think I am definitely done buying for the year unless Faile come up with some live stuff later in August...

now this guy is a true pioneer. Totally love the work and the prices of the hand finished prints are really fair.

I agree, I had to pick up a logoface and I'm still able to afford rent!
