anyone have a preview they can email me? or know prices? thanx. I don't believe they've circulated the preview yet. I haven't received anything, but I also haven't been very persistent with them beyond an initial request. We just pulled all these images from the gallery website. But prices, which should stay the same in this market, are as follows.. Paintings: 3x4 - 50k 4x5 - 60k 4x6 - 70k Watercolors: 22x30 - 10k 30x44 - 15k He has done some work that varies from these scales, often larger, but this should give you an idea. |

his work just keeps getting better and better.
Storms on cavas. Genius
But the pricing is so heavy....
I just dont get how they shift his work without heavy discounting, because on the open auction plains I haven't seen any justification of late

Yeah, I loved the show. Won't have a chance to see it in person until next weekend. But I thought the vast majority the pieces were very strong.
With respect to price justification, I'd agree to an extent. I wonder how they move these things too. I have to assume the bulk of this body of work due to it's immense scale was directly conceived of and marketed to institutions. In general, auction results tend to be directly link to accessibility. When that wealthy casual collector that doesn't have a means at primary market or the time to make the necessary connections, as is definitely the case with Banksy and Os Gemeos, prices reflect that lack of supply. There is far from a lack of supply at the primary level for Parla, so I believe that is why his auction results haven't been anything to take note of over the years.

Paul Laster at Time Out New York has a nice review of the show here: newyork.timeout.com/arts-culture/art/1114053/review-jose-parla-%E2%80%9Cwalls-diaries-paintings%E2%80%9Di didn't realize that the phone had a sound installation included, but it makes perfect sense.  " Review: José Parlá, "Walls, Diaries & Paintings" A former street artist channels urban energy.José Parlá finds beauty in urban ruins. A former Miami street artist of Cuban and Lebanese descent, Parlá mixes photorealist techniques for re-creating the appearance of abused city walls with overlays of sublime calligraphic writing. The result: rhythmic paintings that replicate the passing of time. Inspired by his teenage memories of tagging and the graffiti he documents near his studio and around the world, Parlá uses brushes, markers, spray paint, plaster, sawdust and fragments of flyers to create monumental works that pay homage to the anonymous artists, renegade promoters and poetic psychopaths who leave their traces on city walls. The massive Victory utilizes torn posters from New York's Chinatown, Little Italy and Jewish neighborhoods of Brooklyn to support painterly gestures simulating mold, crazy scribbles and sweeping street tags. The enormous Deconstruction-of-the-World-Palimpsest delightfully marries Abstract Expressionism with urban decay, while the magnificent Biographical Dance of Combined Stories features tangled webs of layered language, delicately woven in white over white on a darkened ground. Along with 11 canvases on view, Parlá has constructed an elaborate installation in a large corridor that replicates a decrepit alleyway. Created with the help of his friends, who heavily tagged the gritty walls, the piece features a pay phone playing found sounds that reflect the nature of cities and the spirit of Parlá, who leaves a magical mark on everything he touches. -Paul Laster " |
