"He has a sort of endearing tendency to talk about his work mainly by saying what other people have written about it on the internet." Made me chuckle.

And Half Gallery seems like an odd choice. My view of them is tainted by the crap they produce through Exhibition A. They strike me as total ambulance chasing cowboy wannabes! harsh words! they've put out a few good editions imo, the richard kern one has been on my to-buy list for ages |

Have you ever bought one of their editions? Trust me, they are shoddy as hell. They have a great selection of artists often producing great images, but the machine production of the editions is extremely low quality, on a par with cheap knock offs from a street market (although admittedly I've only experienced the canvas prints, but can't imagine the paper ones are any better). They must cost pennies to produce. My advice would be to steer well clear. If you want a reproduction art work, get it produced yourself for a 10th of the price. And then there's their customer service, don't even get me started on that!

I don't know, I quite like the first one and I can totally see where these sit in his artistic practice, but they're not great.

I read everyone's comments this past week and I was really awaiting the photos from the show. To be completely honest, I have to agree with Afroken, I for some weird reason like this work. I can't really explain it. I would take the red and black one and hang it on my wall.
Any idea in regards to pricing and if the work has sold?

No idea vlcane, I haven't enquired. I'm guessing they'll be around the $3k mark and it wouldn't surprise me if they all sold. From what I'm hearing there's quite a feeding frenzy around this artist at the moment. I sense that people are panic buying, much like what happened with Tauba Auerbach 2 to 3 years ago.

$4500 was mentioned. Them being sold has also been mentioned. So more expensive than the pie paintings or small rain paintings. Odd decision. |

Can't say the pricing/availability I mentioned is 100% accurate, as it is not straight from the gallery. But, it's what I have heard at this point.

I called to enquirer this afternoon and the gallery rep stated that the show consists of 6 works and that they are sold out.

Well, the work certainly seems to be finding good homes!

Adams not the end all be all but his statements and acquisition of Lucien's work has to be acknowledge as important to this young mans career.

Hype, hype, hype.
I just don't get it. Most of his art is not very well thought out or well executed, IMO. What is he doing that is really new? I can't think of much.

Honestly, it seems like 'Richard Prince bought' is a new tag for art-darlings in NYC. From Smith, to Colen's upside-down skateboard ramp at his stinker Gagosian show, to hush mentions in regard to several LES up-and-comers, etc.

Even if Richard Prince is cool, do you think that he decides what to collect based on what other people think? Who cares? I dont think that Kerouac was sitting around trying to be Henry Miller, nor do I think Miller sat around trying to be Thomas Maan. So if I am going to collect why the hell to I care who purchased what? I dont want to be a perfect copy, I want to be an imperfect original. *steps off soapbox Oh PS. these still suck

I am not tripping over myself to purchase this work, I like the guitar with the bottle caps and glitter. Now I did fall in love when I saw the first rain painting in person.
