My pleasure, good luck with the hunt! First piece is from his first solo show in Brooklyn in 2007? Second is a street piece he put up in London (using leftovers from his Brooklyn show). It was put up on the side of a shop on Percival Street in 2007, shop owner sold it to me for around £200! He set the price, not me.

I was curious about what happened to this street piece.

It was pasted by Judith Supine with my assistance in May 2008. And since the location was also just a block from where I live, I felt invested in the artwork and had looked forward to enjoying it outside on a regular basis.

But within 24 or 36 hours, somebody had already removed it. Highly irritating at the time. Nice to see it preserved nonetheless.

(I bought my piece from Judith, I didn’t steal it from the busshelter :-) )

haha, what a great story, must be so many memories tied to the street and this forum. I love how over 13 years it's gone from highly pissed off to nice to see it again.

Judith at work for Nuart, was an incredible process to be part of.

Happy Shopping he’s always tops for me.

That's wild! Based on my files it's fall 2007 and not 2008 but cool either way. Here's a couple pics of it in the wild.

That street piece does look amazing in situ.

For a day or so, it certainly brought much-needed vibrancy and vitality to an otherwise grey part of my neighbourhood.


In addition to these Before shots, did you by chance also take any After photos?

I remember the stark contrast being amazing as well, both in location appearance and psychologically. It was a case of stepping out for some flâneuring, expecting with child-like anticipation to pass by a magnificent (and indeed "wild") creature, and finding its carcass remains instead.


Granted, not quite the tragedy of the commons, but arguably pretty close.

Regarding the year, it may be possible to check the EXIF data of your photographs. I have my own snapshots documenting the street work, but they're still on an old laptop that crashed.


The reference points I'm using for the timeline are twofold:

1.  Judith Supine's Dirt Mansion exhibition at English Kills Art Gallery in Bushwick, which I travelled to attend in person (opening on 12 April 2008). His London street pieces were sourced from imagery used in that show.

2.  The Cans Festival at Leake Street, London (opening in early May 2008), which Supine came to visit.

[blurp]

I actually dont have any after photos. I had left my details with the shop owner and said if you ever want to sell the piece on the side of your shop, please call me. He called a couple days later and said "sure" naming his price which was, like I said, around 200, perhaps 250?   But you are right, it was May 2008. Time is a funny thing. Great memory.

I seem to recall there was another piece around there too on a white wall behind I chain linked fence. Cant remember exactly where... a bit fuzzy. I assume you helped put that up too!

PS It must have been a lot of work cutting that tree down!

I’ve really enjoyed this thread. Thank you all for sharing, reminds me of the yesteryears when we all enjoyed actually talking about art and the artist.

[jesustheba]

Sorry the thread got derailed but just wanted to share one of my pieces, I have a few but I love this one

The title is "my boyfriend" every time I had correspondence with the gallery they titled the email my boyfriend and then my name which led to some explaining to the better half

[Star Kitty]

Love these works! Been a long time fan of his work, his placements are always amazing and I’m lucky to own a bunch of works. If I remembered how to post photos I’d show them off ha ha

There is a large Judith Supine original on panel coming to Heritage Auctions in three weeks:

I know this is not for everyone, but I am thrilled with it. The pictures do not do the work justice at all, the colors are much more vibrant and there is a thick coat of resin that just makes this 'Eyes without a face' stand out.

I think this thread is better off enjoying his work as oppose to value.

This is such an amazing piece of art! Congratulations!

Hi, 

I'm in the process of moving around some pieces and I have this artists proof of Eyes Without A Face. It's a lovely print in excellent condition and has been hanging on my wall happily for the last five years but it's time for it to find a new home.

London based collection is preferable as the framing is very nice and it works well. Sensible offers via DM please and no swaps.

Thanks!

[burly]

Supine on canvas. Large.

[bgt5002]

Great piece. Good luck

Whatever happened to Supine?

[Peperami Monster]

supine wasn’t that great, I guess people saw through the hype and the fact it was just a bit rubbish 

[Wenters]

[Wenters]

Yeah.....rubbish.....total trash!!

Hype? One the least hyped figures of the 00's, he's an incredibly well respected artist amongst his peers.

Very much around and active as anyone can see from his IG; his current show in Mexico City is as Brendan Fagan

LOVE Supine......he is a lovely genuine guy too!
