It's been my fav Obey image for years, and I spent ages looking for a normal large format a few years back. I never dreamt I'd end up being able to hang this version instead:
I had a couple bids in on that piece. I was hoping there were no baller there that day and I would pick it up way under cost. I was wrong. GREAT pick up
What was the final hammer price?

Agreed! All in, maybe $1300 over the original price from source. Very good deal, I think.

One of the Mandala (2010) HPMs was up on FB, what a frankfurter sexy print that is.

Thanks! I was hoping it might go totally unnoticed too, especially as the advance bids were so low. But still very happy with the piece and the price. Yes, it was $9,375.00 US all in.

It was $8.4k at the Your Ad Here exhibition in 2011, and was then sold for $16k the following year so definitely feels like a good deal now.

It's an HPM, so I'd say so :D

Are you going to frame it?

Those are nice! The crackled texture goes nicely with Target Exceptions.

I am. Unsure how. Thinking a large rabbet frame with the piece floated but I’m open to suggestions!

Hey y'all, happy Saturday. Hope you're well!

There are so few high resolution photos of older collaging here, so I figured I'd share more than a single photo - I hope you don't mind. I've shared this elsewhere, but not close-ups.

Jason must've helped with this one. I spotted some fan mail and many Warhol nods. It's a banger! And quite generously sized at 30x42, in comparison to 18x24s which I'm used to. (Iraq HPM for scale).
