Foinavon - I know it sounds like I'm making this up, but I ain't. Wiki will confirm what I'm saying...
 Having said that, I got some fabric paints for Christmas and I've been inspired to paint coloured circles on my pants already...they've turned out well and re-vitalized my stock of cotton boxer shorts completely. |

By:
I had some Mr Blobby underpants years ago.They had lovely colourful circles all over them

There you are - you missed a trick - you should have done a self portrait, wearing them.

"Untitled" forms part of Martin Kippenberger’s most iconic series of large-scale, mock-heroic self-portraits painted in the summer of 1988, while he and Albert Oehlen lived in a small studio in Carmona in southern Spain. While utterly distinct, the self-portraits, which are today commonly referred to as the ‘Picasso paintings’ or the ‘underwear paintings,’ are nevertheless united by a distinct iconography, showing the artist wearing nothing but underwear, frequently standing beside one of his acclaimed Peter sculptures while holding onto the string of a balloon. In Untitled, the then-35-year-old artist consciously presented himself as the imposing anti-hero, exposing human and artistic imperfection as well as a fear of failure, despite his real-world success at the time.

This rare portrait of the singer KATE BUSH chillin' out during the interval of a concert in St Petersburg was painted in the style of Singer-Sergeant by a celebrated Russian artist.(You should know who it was Vel).

It says -- PRICE REALIZED 16,405,000 us dollars -- and then you'd have to add a buyer's premium to that...beyond parody.

Signature in left corner...
But I can't read Cyrillic letters...  So I go with Serov or Repin, hedging me bets... |
|
By:
Yup, Valentin Serov. Good work.
|
|
By:
Serov-Repin entry returned 1.10 Euros for a one Euro bet...

By:
It's your own fault for Dutching, should have stuck with the favourite
|
|
By:
According to Christie's website, Kippenberger painting was owned by Benedikt Taschen who publishes all those excellent value art books.
|
|
By:
I love that portrait, simple yet sublime.
|
|
By:
I meant the Serov one. Taschen must have plenty of cash to spare.
|
|
By:
Who would guess you could make millions publishing art books?
|
|
By:
That's true but I have a number of them myself
 |
|
By:
Me too...I love a good value art book...
|
|
By:
Some art books are a ridiculous price. I found a book of Klimt drawings in Waterstones a few years back that I wanted but it was nearly £50 and that was in a sale.
 . Needless to say, I didn't buy it as I thought it was taking the proverbial. First class colour matching is expensive but none in a book of drawings. |
|
By:
Well, the key to it is...if it is a catalogue raisonne or even just a book covering a particular exhibition...I bought a Peter Doig catalogue for £8 at the exhibition in Fruitmarket gallery, Edinburgh, and it's getting £200 now.
A lot of my art books have school-style wallpaper covers on them... |
|
By:
These exhibition catalogues tend to have low print runs, like 1000 copies, etc.
|
|
By:
Yes, I suppose short print run was the main reason
 |
|
By:
There's more than one underpants painting - it was another one that sold for 22.5 million bux.

I like this one, it's called A TRUMP. Which is obviously what he is doing.

How the fook do you get this stuff past the censors, CRAGS? I got a pic of Ken BUCHANAN with a busty blonde rejected...and a Kippenberber art poster rejected...

I did this for a pop art project about 20 years ago...I blew up a Taschen pocketbook foto, funnily enough... |
|
By:
I sanded the canvas and used oil paint heavily diluted with boiled linseed oil.
|
|
By:
Despite the affectionate subject matter, the kid's white face makes it cold and rather strange. What was the project about?
I like the photo of Kate showing off her latest acquisition from the auction house...or is the old painting showing us that it can still pull a bit of arm candy? |

Pop!
