6.5 seems a sound price.

This is probably a daft question but why are comparable works on canvas as opposed to paper always more expensive? I have never bought a blank canvas so are they that pricey....?!

Always wanted a Frost. He is on the hit list

I think it has something to do with conservation. To keep your paperwork in perfect condition you will have to do some effort, and in the end you will always (!!!) loose. With canvas things are a lot easier, and you won't notice the decline of the quality that sharp as with paper...

that's what I think.. but I'm sure artist on this forum knows it!

I once owned a Phil Frost piece on paper: I know for sure that he sprays the paper with something which makes/keeps it archival as I had inquired to the gallery owner about this very thing.

[Simococo]

any artists know the answer?

I haven't heard that one before, but if true, I wonder why any high dollar artist would make works on paper at all then. Afterall, there are Picassos, Renoirs, Dalis, Warhols, etc. all on paper.

If any of you have a Phil on canvas that you're looking to part with please PM me.
Thanks

Crickets.
How about galleries that carry Phil's work? Does anyone know general prices for his medium sized unique pieces?

[Simococo]

urban angel had one for around £6k i think

[oneeye]

Just checked their site. Don't see anything on Frost?

[maadbeats]

elms lester, fiona is the best to deal with.

[Deleted]

5-6K gbp is the price yes.. and urbanangel and elms have work available I think!

www.urbanangel.com/product/untitled_phil_frost/

nice piece!

[bozwick]

There is a lovely piece at Elms for 5K + VAT, same size as UA's.

[risky]

Elms Lester's has been Phil's main gallery in London from way back.
There are some great pieces there at the moment.
£500 for originals on paper.
£5000 upwards for canvases.
The ones at Urban Angel were either bought from Elms or the secondary market.

Scroll to the bottom, Andenken Gallery might be able to help you out.

This is one of the best shows of the year so far; just a great body of work. Definitely check it out if you're in the NY area. It also looks like a few of the pieces in the show are still available. (Click here for the full set.)

Very cool. I'm starting to really appreciate Phil's work. Thanks for the photo's.

[Simococo]

great photos. Anyone have a price list?

[afroken]

The larger full colour pieces are all $6,000. No idea about the others.

[Carnage NYC]

I overheard one of the assistants tell someone that the smaller pieces were $1100, but the quality of the small pieces varies, so if that is the real price then it would a steal for some of the more colorful pieces and a little steep for the simple black ink drawings.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

great pictures. thanks - I've been a fan of Phil's work for years -

[snausages]

I've liked Phli ever since I saw his work in the legendary Ray Gun magazine (issue 50) in the late 90s.

[Jonathan LeVine Gallery]

Now through May2nd.
Jonathan LeVine Gallery is proud to present Paperweight, a solo exhibition of new works by Phil Frost. For his first show at the gallery, Frost has created a new series of works on paper, including paintings and original drawings. As his first exhibition in New York in the past three years, Paperweight marks a highly anticipated event for this celebrated artist.


and in the project room...Jonathan LeVine Gallery is pleased to announce Hindi Love Song, a solo exhibition of new works by Gary Taxali. For his fist solo show in New York, the artist has created a series of mixed-media paintings and sculptures in what will be his largest collection of original work to date, both in quantity and in scale. Highly explorative when it comes to application methods, Taxali combines layers of collaged materials and silk-screening techniques. His images are produced using a variety of mediums—ink, oil, acrylic, enamel, and gouache—applied to a number of different surfaces including: paper, plywood, masonite, steel, aluminum, and vintage book covers.



Hope to see you at the gallery!
Cheers
