I have just noticed that there are two 2003 Adam Neate canvasas on ebay at moment. Seller has a bin price but will do a deal for both as long as they go to a good home.

[jam]

Two sold this AM on ebay, for only 2k each!!! Unreal deals

[babyford]

Thanks Jam

[ricosg11]

over under on the pieces at auction??

[sammyman]

Like the description :

"This is teh Portrait... buy it now? "

[Cocteau 101]

They had a BIN on a few minutes ago which has disappeared.

[jam]

I believe someone emailed him to list what other pieces he had on ebay with a buy now as it sold within a few minutes of being listed... plus the first ad was better.

[babyford]

The bins were 3.5 and 4.5k!!

Did anyone see the beer drinker on ebay? Looked mighty suspicous to me... anyone?

Yep, I did. Emailed him for prov and he saud he was a friend of Adam. Asked if he could arrange then for Adam to be there when I collected to confirm authenticity and he said he would need to "check his availability" never heard back. Emailed him after the auction ended and he said he had just sold out. Very suspect indeed

Yes very suspect as he couldnt arrange for the artist to be there when you collected, i bet he just thought f**k off & sold it on to someone else who would have been happy with some usuual form of provenance.


;D ;D

[carlito]

I reckon the artist should always be there when you buy a peice ...particularly the dead ones

let me add when I wrote to him after the auction ended he said he could provide a letter from Adam.....yeah right!!! I asked if it would be on Elms Lester Headed paper and their blind stamp on it......it was probably then that he said F**K *** ;D

[dumpsuk]

Not that I have to justify my suspicions but, It just didn't look like Adam's work. It was also painted on canvas, yet wasn't a gallery piece. Haven't seen any of Adam's street pieces painted on canvas? I looked through adam's site which documents every piece that he has done and couldn't find it either. The auction was changed from 7 to 5 days because seller was going away. The auction ended without even a single bid and the item was unsold.

[Montubu7]

He maybe could have had a letter from Adam you could have then checked that with Adam himself before making payment/collecting etc.

[dave313perry]

Whats the general opinion on the two on ebay at them minute then?
Authentic?
Price?

Cheers
Dave

[dave313perry]

BUMP! opinions please.....thx

[bobbymeachamjr]

Neate is sensational but I dont care if picasso did those 2 pieces - they're crap.

[fautebol]

Indeed. I have never seen an original adam neate, but can't believe people would spend 2K for this on ebay (Neate or not). This is some serious bulls**t.

BTW, since your tallking about Picasso, here is an Adam Neate interview of 2005 in French that I found interesting...
"Picasso est mon artiste préféré, il a peint environ 25000 oeuvres dans sa vie, c’est ce que je voudrais faire aussi, et toutes les éparpiller!"

EDIT: I was discussing about items 290147732377 and
290147798068. I dont't know much about Adam Neate. But why would someone believe that the canvas from auction 290147732377 is from Adam Neate seriously? Why would someone buy this? I can't understand...

[mammal2]

Tat! Spend it on a couple of beautiful prints....

[dave313perry]

THANK U. cant afford them anyway but wanted opinions. Their still better than the street pieces that fetch a hefty sum IMO. 2.5k-3k is not bad i reckon!

[dotdot]

My opinion - i thought they were pretty cool pieces.
from a phase the guy has since moved on from.
Some folks might say - a good phase and others not.
Either way they are on canvas - not print , not from the street and quite large, and ORIGINAL.

Not sure about the prov , though.

In my book if i could afford them well I'd be keen.

[Aza]

So they didnt sell (or did it end early?)
I think for 3 and 2.5k they were a good deal considering the prices of the prints nowadays.
If I had the money I would have bought them
