Is it not strange to anyone that the gallery leaked nearly the entire show.

Im a huge fan of Jose's work, but I would love to know what you found inspiring about the NY Retna show. To me it was an unsustainable embarrassment. Looked extremely rushed and lacked soul imo. |

I said on another forum that Retnas recent Hallelujah show looked like it had been produced with the MOCA show in mind. Get some press on the back of Deitch's endorsement and see the work sell and it did. Im not sure that show was a conclusive representation of his work. I think the calligraphy work he does on the murals with el Mac is sublime, the installation at Prism gallery looked incredible and some of his older works on canvas have more texturing and layering similar to Parla. I would also hang a number of his mono prints from Rivera and Rivera.

ill agree, those mono-prints look gorgeous. I just dont think that show did him any favors regardless of what sold, for how much, and to whom.

I was surprised the mono prints hung around for so long. Wasn't the show put on by the same guys that rediscovered Richard Hambleton?

allegedly redicovered, redated and retitled old paintings at multiples of the original prices... In an interview Jose said he is doing a show with them in Milan next month.
"JP: My next upcoming exhibition is titled: Walls, Diaries, and Paintings. The opening is on March 3rd at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in Chelsea – NYC, and will feature all new works. A new book accompanies the exhibition with the same title published by Hatje Cantz. Standard Culture is hosting a book signing on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel in New York, which is open to the public on March 5th. This show runs through April 16th. Then in Europe during April, I am doing a solo show in Milan presented by Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and Andy Valmorvida, with the support of Giorgio Armani."

They are also the people behind the PRISM gallery. I hope Parla isn't doing what Hambleton and Retna did with them...

Patrick Nguyen summed it up pretty well re the Hambleton show... Over the last four years, seven or eight of Hambleton’s large-scale paintings on canvas (six feet or more in height and/or width) have come to auction. The sale price in each case — including for three pieces auctioned in the past 13 months — was always less than $11,000 with buyer’s premium. One of these large canvases, titled Marlboro man, measures almost 10 feet wide and sold at Christie’s New York in October 2006 for $1,920 including premium. The same painting was in fact also part of Richard Hambleton New York, but listed under the different name of Red horse & Rider (photo inserted above).
Given the recent auction prices, AM was surprised when Andy Valmorbida confirmed to us that works for sale at the London show ranged from £40,000 to £2,000,000 (very roughly, $60,000 to $3,000,000). That’s quite a jump for Hambleton — arguably a dangerous and unsustainable one. It will be interesting to see whether, in the cold light of day, future auction results are able to mirror the new price levels for the artist on the primary market. This is a platform on which the skills of his dealers will continue to be tested.
It’s also worth mentioning the exhibition was produced in collaboration with Giorgio Armani, himself a keen collector of Hambleton’s work. more on that here... arrestedmotion.com/2010/12/viewpoints-openings-richard-hambleton-pop-up-show-the-dairy-london/As far as Retna goes, Valmorbida priced the work dramatically high and sold it all to high rolling fashionista friends, just as was done with Hambleton, but at least it was less covert and didn't involve hiding histories of old works. Where will Retna go with prices for his next show? Can he bring them back down to reality as it is unlikely they will be sustainable at the high levels for the recent show. Almost all of his older fanbase have been alienated by the price hike. If the prices do come down, the buyers, and friends / associates of Valmorbida will likely be extremely pissed that they payed over the odds.... tricky situation. i hope these people get bored and move on to another financial game. i certainly hope the same doesn't happen with Parla. |

Anyone know the pricing for 2ft x 3ft or 3ft x 3ft?
The others mentioned seem a far cry from the £90,000 + VAT that was being asked in 2008 at Elms.
That was $215,000 at that time, hat with the 2:1 Ex rate.
Now $60k.
Some people must be hurting.

2 X 3's are around 35K US.
215K must have been for a massive mural of sorts.
