Re: Sam Hall (St Ives)
You seem elated there Ed.
Did you just £400 + commission for that Sam Hall on the Maak site?

Not at all Phil , I don't Bid at auctions that much , but I can spot works that are good investments without relying on books and personal opinions .

Re: Sam Hall (St Ives)
Buying any contemporary Art or pottery for 'Investment' is a somewhat risky business. Who in heavens knows what taste might be like in ten or twenty years?

Re: Sam Hall (St Ives)
Tend to agree philpot but Ed does seem to like the work very much and if the worst comes to worst he can always start a Museum like JoetheHat and Troika-Ceramics.philpot wrote:Buying any contemporary Art or pottery for 'Investment' is a somewhat risky business.

life isn't worth a sh*t if you don't take a risk now and again and also it depends on how much you want to risk and can afford it , I am not boasting by any means but most of my collection has been bought through money made from buying low priced items and reselling ,so no risk involved at all really , hans coper pots were selling for less than £30 in 1971 , I won't live long enough to wait 30yrs to see what prices pots go for or for that matter care , tastes come and go , fads come and go you have to trust in your OWN instincts and not buy just because a critic has a book out pontificating about so & so , the maak auction is quite staid imo , good pots , yes , nice pots , but limited in appeal , boring even but I doubt they really care as long as punters buy the same old crap that keeps going around , there's more than a handful of samey potters & artists out there although you wouldn't think it sometimes .

Re: Sam Hall (St Ives)
well worth it though Ed, it persuades the viewer to see it as art and not just pottery

Re: Sam Hall (St Ives)
Yes Dan , I agree , whatever we have does look a million times better if displayed as it should , the right setting and light makes all worthwhile , even if it was very tricky , it's soooooooo heavy .

Re: Sam Hall (St Ives)
the mistake most pottery collectors make is to cram too much into a cabinet,we have a few forum members who illustrate this mistake to an extreme (you know who you are)
