i wish my zhang xiaogangs were originals, but they are prints. beautiful nonetheless.

Difara's is the best. Hands down. Always worth the hassle (and it usually is a hassle).

ifoundfaile: you aren't going to be able to get a lot for the piece, as everyone interested in faile knows that it has been taken from the street. if you don't want to return it to faile yourself, i would be willing to give you a token amount as a finder's fee for it, and then i'll return it. if you are interested, send me a pm.

Recently saw "The Pictures Generation" show at the Met. In it, are three photos by Louise Lawler from the 80s, showing masterpiece works in private residences. The images themselves are beautiful, but they also make you think about how collecting isolates great art from the public.

Nothing lately, but there's a couple things that are tempting me.

Personally, I defer to the artist on most things, out of respect for the work.
I prefer to let the artist have full license as to the image, but am happy to give my opinion if asked. And when I purchase art directly from artists, either existing work or on commission, I generally let them tell me how much it is going to be and either except it or not. I never negotiate, unless the artist initiates it.

been trying to hold off from buying, but there's just too many good deals floating around these days.

not the greatest piece, but i'd be surprised if this doesn't reach $3k.

To be honest, I'm not sure. It's typical of Japanese artists. For example, sometimes you see Nara Yoshitomo and others Yoshitomo Nara. One is the Japanese order and the other the Western. But if you don't know which is which...
It does seem that his name is more commonly Masakatsu Sashie.

thanks jlg and svenman.
glad you like the dzama. my wife bought it for me, so it has extra special significance. and yes, the espo is on metal. it's 2' x 2' and is included at the end of the first and fifteenth book.

Hi all. Just joined the forum. A little about me... Eight or so years ago, I bought a Murakami print and I've been hooked on collecting art ever since. I'm still interested in contemporary Japanese art, but also collect street art, some photograph and just about anything else that strikes me. Looking forward to being part of this community.
