Hey guys,
Anyone looking to sell an Audrey original? I know it's a long shot, but I've been following her stuff for some time now, accumulating my favorite giclees while slowly putting money aside for a genuine painting.
Problem is, even though the galleries put me on their advance lists, her stuff always sells out before I even get the chance to buy, and I don't see my chances improving at any of her future shows. On the other hand, some of you have been fortunate enough to own a few Audreys, while others might be looking to collect on their art investments, so I figure there's always hope asking in a place like this.
I'm new to buying art, so would appreciate any and all tips if you guys know of potential sellers or have suggestions about how not to get suckered into paying too much. I've got nothing against those looking to make a profit, mind you, for without such collectors, I doubt my dream of owning an Audrey original would ever come true.
It's probably too much to hope that I would ever own one of my favorites, but I've prepared a little collage of a few of the (existing) Audreys I dream of owning below. I especially love the paintings that feature more than one person (whether two girls or co-ed) or have an erotic edge to them (it's all in the eyes, really). I'm also interested in her solo boys, in case any need a new home.
P.S. I've had better luck with prints and did manage to buy one of Pressure Printing's new Okimiyage intaglio before they sold out. I also own copy #2 of Copro Nason's giclee-on-wood edition of Sophia. I wasn't planning to part with either print, but would consider applying one toward the purchase of an original, if that catches anyone's interest.
Thanks!
