London show folks

[DMB22JEEP]

Some beautiful new pieces in there! Im sure youll be first on line! ;)

[eschiff]

i wonder if they'll do a print release...looks like a gallery exhibiting new work rather than an 'MBW' show...i've emailed for a price list and asked about a print. I imagine some of those are close to 100k. Despite my hesitations on the dude, those pieces are really nice, the marley is beautiful.

[Leveronea]

The NYC location of Opera Gallery is the one who hosted ICONS. They'll have the new work exhibited, but it wont be on the caliber of L.A.

[eschiff]

caliber meaning size in this case rather than quality i assume

[Leveronea]

The Opera show will be a gallery show. Art Show 2011 in L.A. is like a warehouse full of art.

[DMBTattoo]

Wow nice!!!

[Leveronea]

Wow nice!!!

ICONS was the same way, it was just in the middle of the lower west side. Up stairs and downstairs full of fine art. It was amazing.

Opera did a gallery show in NYC a few months before ICONS opened up. Im pretty sure all sales at ICONS went through Opera.

They did. Through their NYC location.

[eschiff]

the OGs are priced between 50 and 100k (GBP), i called up and spoke to the jean-david who is the managng director of opera and said it will be very similar to the nyc show, with new art being exhibited but there will be no print release.

that price for an OG is really exceptional. He's now selling OGs at banksy/hirst prices. I guess the real question is what do they actually sell at as when i was getting off the phone he was already throwing the 'let me know which one you're interested in and i'll help you out' line at me.

The first time I went to ICONS, one of the sales people sold a Jagger OG for 100k USD as I was standing there looking at it.

[DMBTattoo]

so insane. I cant even sell my posters for $15!

I saw a lot of buyers at the show. unreal cash flow...

Anyone want to buy my art for $1,000?

[MIKESTELLA]

A portfolio manager were I work got into MBW....he just went out and bought 4 pieces from a gallery...no OGs just prints...I know he did grab a legend as well as a bistro....guy knows I collect some stuff but didnt care and just paid up....told him that he overpaid and he said he didnt care at all....when you have money shit like this doesnt matter

[eschiff]

agreed man, it's a different ball game. if 80k didn't mean anything to me i would buy that bob marley, thing looks beautiful, can't wait to see it.

At ICONS, OG Legend in light brown, framed, large format canvas (I'd say approx 40"x60") was $50k.

I like orange, for some reason it's always been one of my favorite colors.

[vortec42]

It's nice, but at $400, I'm out. I'd be happy to try for someone though. I've had pretty good luck with the MBW drops. Send me a PM (may take a bit to write back - I'll be in and out this weekend).

[eschiff]

1/1 variants for 4k? you gotta be joking

[MUZZ]

$850....wtf

[eschiff]

please...pleeeeese tell me what he did to this to justify that price?

http://i40.tinypic.com/37zad.jpg

[dythuger]

He has sold out every print instantly over last couple years at ridiculous prices. Now just keeps on pushing the envelope.

[Leveronea]

I wonder if Steven Spielberg and George Lucas know about his love for ripping off Norman Rockwell, as they both have 2 of the most prominent Norman Rockwell collections in America. I've seen both, and the piece that MBW is using is actually quite nice in person.

[eschiff]

rockwell is incredible. i saw an exhibition of his over here. didn't really know anything about him but you're right, the stuff is really quite nice

[STEP2DMB]

Crazy $850. I rather have two grails for sure, than this.

[DMB22JEEP]

Wish I bought Rockwells 10 yrs ago when I had the chance - he's been my fave since 3rd grade.

yeah, you had a chance? how much would that have been??? few radar rats i imagine! :)

[DMB22JEEP]

10 - 15 years back they were selling for $10K (ish) - Not so much anymore. I forget the details but I think they were being sold off by the museum to raise funds. I was still to young (in college) to have that kind of cash but knew it was a no brainer to buy them.

[DMB22JEEP]

ugh... im getting old - more like 20 years...

[DMB22JEEP]

I had really hoped the Toys for Tots print this year was going to be another announcement and instant on sale. When everyone was complaining about the $850 price tag on the last print I had a feeling that they would be doing another print at a lower price... The ape is ok... I like last years Christmas print better. Just my $.02 Will I ever be able to buy another MBW print again???

As for the HIV print - looks almost like a crappy knock off of an MBW print. Is that thing for real? Who is the seller?

has the site come up yet?

[CBjornson]

Hello Everyone,

We would like to apologize to anyone who attempted to purchase an Everyday Life print this morning. Moments before the print was supposed to go online, our server completely crashed. Nobody was able to access the website and purchase a print. Since the incident, we have been working with our server providers trying to resolve the issue. As soon as the website is back up the print will go online, and we will send an email notification. Again, we apologize about the inconvenience and hope to resolve this issue completely for any future print releases

[DMB22JEEP]

Please disregard anything you read or heard concerning a password to get into website. There is no password and no prints have been sold. We are trying to resolve this issue.
Thank You

[CBjornson]

Strange that MBW's site is acting up so strangely. Usually I find his site easy to purchase off of... even with the hard to get prints. Simple PayPal button has never failed me on his site. I'm not going for this print but seriously, this sounds like a mess of a drop!

[DMB22JEEP]

Due to continuing issues with our server, the print will not be able to go on sale today. We will send out a notification with the new sale time as soon as we're able to. We apologize for the inconvenience.

3,000 hits in a week? how and why?

[DMBfan]

I think it's all Google, a few folks found a thread of mine when I was selling a Brainwash print around here a while back...I think it's all the search engine and our chatter about Brainwash. And for good reason, we've been chatting about him since the old days of 2008.

Thx I grabbed one

[DMB22JEEP]

What's the run?

[DMBfan]

150, not too bad

[levyhit]

Only 9 sold?

[Leveronea]

Only 9 sold?

Price is probably a factor.

[TDunk]

price is negotiable

[McGinnisM]

I just made an offer, it says there are 35 other offers pending. Mine is low so I know I won't get it.

[DMB22JEEP]

i offered 350... still to high but i havent gotten a fresh mbw print since santa last christmas.

[Swtworld41]

my offer was just declined....looks like they may be looking at the offer now

[DMB22JEEP]

350 declined for me. its a nice print but 400 is stupid.

[TDunk]

that might be true but its nothing compared to some of the other instant sellouts. shows how much hype plays into it.

[DMB22JEEP]

Hate to say it but a lot of his stuff isnt selling well on the secondary markets anymore...

[budichfan]

[DMB22JEEP]

I traded my Cover Girl for both regular and variant Stout Star Wars sets a while back. Best trade I've made in a long time. CG was nice but I feel like I got the better end of the deal by far.

[Leveronea]

Buying a Legend was a good decision. Prices for that are doing pretty well.

[DMB22JEEP]

:thumbsup thats all I'm saying...

[TDunk]

yeah big fan of that one

[DMB22JEEP]

I wish they did the drop last night when the email came out. The sites gonna crash from flippers...

MBW getting all lovely dovey....bullshit or legit?

http://vimeo.com/37369124

[DMB22JEEP]

Legit.

I've told this story and Ill tell it again. I teach a lesson on MBW 2 times a year to 5 different graphic design classes. 250 kids in total. We see student created PowerPoint presentations on MBW, they including all of the facts they can find on MBW and his work. Every semester the presentations gets longer and longer... It used to be 5 min, then 10 min, then 15 min, now a 15 min now it takes up a full hour with our debate and discussion. Ive seen several things happen over time in regards to his career and the students perception of him.

In the beginning he was an enigma... we didnt know anything about him just his work and some of the random stuff we could find on the web like the LA show, Life Remote Control, the quotes from Shepard Fairey and Banksy... there were rumblings of it all being a joke by Banksy. The kids responded really well and were really interested since they had a working knowledge of Shepard Fairey and Banksy this was a new twist.

Next the NY show happened, along with Exit and that is when the rumors blew up that he was a fake and he paid everyone to make his art... the kids were a little more skeptical but were blown away with the videos of (me) from NYC and the pictures I had taken while I was there - along with the personal stories... but I could tell they were skeptical now, the vibe changed... they felt like he was taking advantage of people. But still "cool" none the less.

Now, as more time passes, the kids see more videos (like the one posted above) of him talking about art, how "life is beautiful" and being positive and believing in yourself. The kids are seeing a really interesting evolution in a contemporary artist career (so are we)... the kids have come back around and are genuinely interested in his art (they love his work) and they get excited by him. (Im not standing there saying "you have to like this guy or else!") They genuinely love his work and the story's of his career, his interactions with Shepard (who my kids dont like anymore) and Banksy (who my kids LOVE) and the shows he has done.


With all the shit people have talked about him, who is the one person who hasnt talked shit? Him. Ever. He has never once said anything negative... If you can find it - show us.

I had a bizarre conversation the other day with someone over the phone and I said "Time has validated his career"... It just came out as I was talking... and in hind sight it is so true. And probably something that needs to be said publicly right now. So there I said it. first.

I'm incredibly grateful to him and his work - I applaud him for he has accomplished and I look forward to many more chapters!

Also - There is also something I dont think most people are aware of. A lot (most) famous artist have teams of people working for them. I know someone who is a "project manager" for probably one of the most famous sculptors in the world and none of the art touches the artists hands. He stops by throws a few ideas out and comes back a few weeks later - looks at it... makes some suggestions and then shows up at the opening. From what Ive seen MBW does a whole lot more than that.

Post 1,042... I'll start making them count.

PS - I also love this thread, and how the venom hasn't seeped in here... Thank you all for keeping it real!

[DMB22JEEP]

and this is post 1,043.

I like the Legit part.

[eschiff]

i do think it's weird how he inspires hatred in people, i also think it's odd how the people that like him proselytize about his virtues.

personally, he's not for me, that has less to do with people helping him do the art (which as you said most artist do) and more to do with just not feeling anything original from his work.

Didnt you have your sister wait on line at the nyc show for you?

[eschiff]

yeah, she waited in line, still has the prints actually if anyone wants to buy them? matching set hand finished spock/love splash or whatever they're called. that was an capitalist decision. I'll still try to get every release...not sure what that has to do with anything?

but you don't see any teachers coming on forums talking about how they're teaching banksy classes.

[DMB22JEEP]

I said I did... I do a unit on contemporary artist and graphic designers... Banksy included.

I actually dont show Exit to my classes but I know several art teachers who do.

Not sure I follow you?

ooh, the paint splash makes it an insta-buy :lmao

[TDunk]

That's crap

[DMBfan]

I love the print, but hate the splatter...his big prints are really impressive in person. Top notch quality.

[Leveronea]

This is going to be stellar in person. Expensive, but I really do like this.

[dmbforever]

junk in my book

[DMBfan]

So this is one of those puzzles where you move the pieces around, with the white space being an empty square. Why did he have to add the splash? I'd be in if it weren't for that.

[budichfan]

The heat is off, the joke is wearing thin, demand is way down... yawn. I'll make a 100 dollars elsewhere.

[DMB22JEEP]

I like Lichtensteins work - would of liked it better without the "puzzle" aspect. Love the size - only own one of his large prints. Amazing in person.

[Leveronea]

The heat is off, the joke is wearing thin, demand is way down... yawn. I'll make a 100 dollars elsewhere.

I agree his work has plateaued. Im glad he has moved on from the Rockwell imagery. The puzzle aspect is a bit of Faile's recent work with the Lichtenstein taking from D*Face's recent stuff. Combination does go well though.

[Leveronea]

Anyone go for this? I forgot about it, not like I was gonna try anyway.

[DMBfan]

I tried but failed.
