Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Being Frenchy and knowing a little bit in the surroundings of the collectors who were there to buy, I can tell that "being hype" at Artcurial for showing off for a spot sale does not make prices on "collectors to collectors" market skyrocketing. Strong results, but not a trend IMO.
Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
I don't know, Artcurial seems to have pulled in strong results for a few years now.

Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
I bid on a Nixon, Hello Kitty and Global Warning. They closed beyond where I was willing to go once you factor in a 25% auction fee. Nixon would have been $712.50 delivered when all is said and done.eargasm wrote:As a heads up, there are some nice pieces up for auction here:

Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Some good deals on liveauctioneers.com tonight.

Malcolm X Orange
Street Weapons
Arab Woman Gold
Peace Woman
Peace Mujer
Marcos Diagram
DOH 2
Global Warning
Celebration (Led Zepplin)
Debby Harry 05
Sadly the auction fees will add $500
Oh, and if you are the person I ran up on the Godfather series prints, I humbly apologize.
Sadly the soup cans print had mat burn or I would have hit it a lot harder.

Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Wow, some pretty strong results..! Thanks for sharing
Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Why would that "Yes" screenprint go for over 1800 euro? No rhyme/reason in my mind.

Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
I was thinking the same thing about the say yes print.
Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
I'm thinking it has something to do with the size of the run.brintoul wrote:Why would that "Yes" screenprint go for over 1800 euro? No rhyme/reason in my mind.
Other than that, I don't know either.
Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Maybe someone just really liked it and didn't know any better? Sometimes people do dumb things

I have no idea. But I really like it.
Is this on canvas? would it be safe to say hat this was made with hand cut stencils? I also really like the collage work of this time,
this has some of the best Images incorporated, you could look @ this every day while having your morning coffee, and find something new. 3 of these in existence, all different collage, is one in washington dc, does Russell Simmons have the other?
My guess is that we may never see one of these come up again.

Isnt this about the time EC post a picture of his, he has hanging up in a bathroon or something, and wishs all of us a nice day.

Re: Shepard Fairey / Obey Auction Discussion
Also agree. If some nice Banksy paper can go for that much, I see a good chance that a unique collage edition of arguably Shep’s most famous image will fetch that much. Plus it’s right before an election - I suspect the timing is not accidental.password wrote:it'll go for at least $300-400k
