Mose, If you think tauba's fold series is her 'initial hit' then that really shows the depth of your knowledge.
Reading through these post auction comments is much like driving past a freeway accident. I can't look away, but the more I look, the more disgusting it becomes. The armchair speculation and art history equations are laughable at best.
Tauba Auerbach is an artist that from the moment she first started showing has done nothing but become more successful, and established in the world of art. She's young, and has shown no signs of slowing, stalling, or slipping. I see all of her auction results as evidence that she is a rising star. As for the idea that a hammer price is too high, I say two words, supply and demand. I've noticed for quite some time that she has been very smart about how many works she produces, and how they are sold. The fact that we're not seeing any of her more recent, or larger works go to auction says volumes about her collector base's faith in her future. Much like the saying goes.. know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

sloppy? seriously? it's hand painted. this isn't some gilcee pumped out in an unlimited run. and for being hand painted, it's damn good. if one has to get within 2 feet to see the brush work, it's a gob well done.

COPE2

Post by avert on Mar 7, 2012 17:43:19 GMT -8
i really don't like straight up graffiti canvases in gallery settings. cope is a perfect example of this. all i see is him trying really hard to re-create a crushed wall, or his perfect cope bubbles. to me, it just looks wrong. i'm also getting to that point with his commissioned murals. they're a little too straight forward and simple. cope cope cope cope cope. don't get me wrong, the man is a legend, and has a sick style and a skilled hand, but as a gallery artist, no thank you.

afroken said it best, go with Gerhard Richter. I'll add, buy a big one....or two big ones.

wow!
10,000 bonus points to gamma for proponderously reviewing this show. truly excellent use of nouns and adjectives.
though i can't say it as well, i also previewed the show, and in person, the works really do look great. and with talking to palladino, i now have way more respect for just how much work has gone into these. he's a machine with his level of perfection.

Okay. I can see what you're talking about.
For me, the works relate to his paintings, but the impressive detail is lacking. Time will tell how the 3D works play out. I've felt this same way when I've seen other artists transition dramatically to a new medium, or style.
And shouldn't this thread be merged with the existing Palladino thread?

that Faile doesn't even look like a Faile. those jeans? i can't stop staring at them. as a side note....when did aiko move on and go solo? maybe i'm a little more used to the patricks on their own.

As I follow this discussion, I'm continually wondering if the comments questioning the pricing are coming from a stand of the work isn't good enough to command the price? Or they may be thinking of it from an industry price fixing perspective? Or is it simply a time matter in that they, the commenter, thinks the pricing is jumping too fast? ...but in a way thinks OG is good enough to command quite high pricing, just not now?

A bit off topic, but seeing that Franzen book cover reminded me that just today I learned that that book was recalled due to it being printed prior to the authors final edit. Interesting to recall a book.
On topic, really like that more abstract and busy vertical painting.

I still love their street works, but i no longer like 90% of their gallery works. Not sure if I'm alone with this thought/opinion.

Are you asking the forum how that price sounds from a market perspective? Or from the perspective of me watching you prey for a miracle to land in your lap by bumping your thread for near two months, and now you may have found one and are questioning the price? If you did find a print for $150, snatch it up and don't look back. But if you're offering the world that amount in hope of coaxing on into the light, well, I'd think that may not do it.

Curious to know what his Polaroids go for. I've always liked them.
