Does anyone here like Tracey Emin or David Shrigley?

Let me know if you know anywhere I can find unique works by them, or drawings, online? Is Shrigley mega expensive now?

There were a couple of very small Emins for sale at the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques yesterday. I thought pretty expensive though at about £3.5k. Can't remember the name of the gallery, left the catalogue at work, although the gallery represented English/British artists only. Will try and remember to look up details tomorrow.

white cube and counter editions have Emin editions. The mummified rock on counter is just plain odd.

I have Kate Moss by Tracey Emin, and whilst I know she may not be that popular here, I love it - it's simplicity is beautiful. Single line sketching can be hugely effective. (would prefer a Banksy Kate Moss of course!)
Love Shrigley - his Guardian cartoons fantastic, as is his book, The Book of Shrigley.
I also like I Like Drawing, and have his Kids Crossing print framed and up in the loo. It's quality imo.

As a big fan, I'd be really interested to know what kind of prices Shrigley's stuff goes for... have looked before but found little information on the web...

Shrigley- yes ;D, Emin- no

sorry guys, was out last nite

yeah, i met him at a book signing for ants have sex in your beer, and had a wee chat, and the topic of POW came up, so i asked him how that came about, and basically he was saying how he was sitting about, and his phone went and (shrigley puts on a bad english accent) 'hey mate its banksy yeah yeah yeah, i want u to do a screenprint for me'

he said he had no idea how banksy got his number, and seemed to suggest that banksy was in charge of POW, so he sent down 3 drawings, and he's never seen the finished piece, or had 1 sent to him - hence why they are unlimited and u/s

but because he's from glasgow, i've been able to see his stuff quite a lot, and he is proper funny and a top artist

[robstar]

I love Emin and Shrigley! Especially Emin's drawings. Retrome, do message me with the info on the Emins you saw yesterday please!

[Pattycakes]

try www.bloomsburyauctions.com they have I think 4 Emins including anice unique polaroid in their 3rd July sale.

[robstar]

Cheers mate, yeah I saw those, I like that print actually!

[graffoto]

Hey Robstar - all two of those Emin Prints are still available from source at Counter Editions
No Substitute For Your Love - £650 and Dog Brains - £500 plus another - check them out if you don't want to gamble on an auction....

[robstar]

Oh yeah I meant the unique print, from Parkett, taken from a poloroid of herself. I like that one. The others are great but I'm not so into those... I like the Frida one. I used to have lot of them actually but sold them to get a unique work instead.

[sputnikeye]

www.schaefergrafik.dk has some pretty nice Shrigley screenprints, they are on the higher side of the price scale

I share your opinion mate. I vehemently dislike all of Tracey Emin's work that I've seen so far. In some cases I would be able to strongly respect that emotive response in myself as an effectiveness of the art, but sadly in this case I find myself totally bemused as to how she's so respected and accepted an artist. I think she's the most over-rated talent out there. I would buy Zbiok over TE - that's how poor I think much of her work is!!! Clearly people much more educated in art disagree, so I guess I'm missing the appeal or "quality" of her work. Oh well!

[robstar]

No no no!!! Haha!!! I love Emin!!! All of her stuff!!!

[woodsman]

She's got a great pair of tits.

[robstar]

Ah man....
