Budget en verzamelen 2

Feit: in mei ga ik het restant van mijn budget opmaken.

Ik ben u bezig om te preciseren welke kansen ik wil grijpen.

1. Carla van de Puttelaar Eigenlijk heb ik al besloten om een foto van haar te kopen, maar zolang ik hem nog niet heb gekocht zijn alle mogelijkheden open.
2. Liselotte Schuppers. Maandag heb ik haar thuis bezocht en twee foto's geselcteerd uit serie Anoniem. (Superman en Gladiator) Ze heeft me een goed aanbod gedaan.
3. Nicky Onderwater: Ik heb haar gemeeld voor een prijsopgave. De prijzen zijn stevig maar niet onredelijk, ze ad korting voor afdrukken die ze al gemaakt voor een tentonstelling. Het is moelijk kiezen uit haar werk.
4.Boukje Janssen: zij heeft een groepstentoonstelling "...Expectations" tijdens ArtAnsterdam met onbekend werk.
5. Enige andere kunstenaar op ArtAmsterdam die ik mogelijk tegenkom
6. Janneke Sprenkels: zij zal aanwezig zijn tijdens de Art & design sale in het Tac. Zij weet het niet, maar ze heeft een troef, één van haar werken staat op mijn want list.
7. Marleen v/d Heuvel and Liselotte de Groot zullen ook op de Art & design sale in het TAC zijn Maar geen troeven hier.
8. Andere kunstaars op de Art & design sale.
9. Merel van Beukering zal niet aanwezig zijn in het Tac maar ik heb contact met haar over een paar werken.
10. Afgelopen vrijdag heb ik nog meer mogelijkheden gevonden die ik domderdag nog niet kende. Om verwarring te vermijden laat ik deze even zitten.

Ik zal nog heel wat moeten trechteren.. .

Om de puzzel iets interessanter te maken :
elke kunstenaar heb ik het porijsberiek geven van het werk dat ik goed vind. Alle prijzen zijn in euro's. De rangorde is niet geheel random. Met een beetke kennis kan je de code kraken en decijfers met de letters verbinden.

a 2250 tot 4950 (ik wil er één)
b 850 tot 1500 (Ik wil er twee)
c 550 tot 975 (Ik wil er twee)
d schatting 300 tot 4000 (ik wil er minimaal één)
e schatting 200 tot 100000 (ik wil er minimaal één)
f 55 tot 425 (ik wil er minimaal één
g 100 to 200 (schatting)(ik wil er minimaal één
h onbekend normaal onder 100 (ik wil er minimaal één
i schatting 750 (Ik wil er twee)
j 85 tot 495 (Ik wil er twee)

Totaal is dit ongeveer 16000 euro. (Ik heb de vrijheid genomen om onwaarschijnlijk aankopen te verwijderen om een realistische som te verkrijgen.)

Van dat bedrag kan ik de betaling voor ongeveer 6000 euro uitstellen naar later jaren.(Ik weet dat er iets te regelen valt met galerieën) Dus dan houd ik 10000 euro over voor dit jaar. Mijn resterend budget is ongeveer 3000 euro.

Ik zal dus nog heel wat moeten trechteren.. .

Hoe ga ik kiezen: ten eerste ga ik naar ArtAmsterdan het Tac en de tentoonstelling Expectations. Dan zal ik beslissen.

Ik heb de neiging om meer high end en duurder werk te kopen (bijv. #1,2,4) Maar dat gaat wel ten kostte van vele goedkopere werken.
Niemand weet wat het wordt.

Ik beëindig dit bericht met de eerste foto die ik van Marije Arends kocht in 2005. In het vorige bericht liet ik de drie werken zien die ik als laatste van haar kocht.

next purchase or dialogue

The same day I went to AFH (see previous post) I had to go on in a high pace to Amsterdam. (where else) I'd got an invite from Isolde,(no Tristan around)who made an exhibit together with nine other artists who took a course as starting curator. As a curator you must be able to make exhibitions so they created this trial as their course-project. As artists they had plenty of art available. So they could concentrate on the exhibit itself.
All these artists are young, not long time away from the academy and eager to show their own taste of creation. The result was a very pioneering, hard to grasp, out-of the box art. The exhibition was not located, like AFH, in a hallway in an industrial zone kilometers far from the city centre. It was next to heart of the city centre of Amsterdam in a house which the inhabitant had transformed into an exhibition space. It couldn't be further from AFH metaphorically speaking.
The result I bought a picture. I had only a low resolution jpeg, but I replaced it by a better one. In the picture you see a frame. I actually bought the picture framed in the same frame which is in the picture. It shows that the picture isn't disconnected from the real life. The frame in the real world frames the picture and within the picture the same frame frames a piece of the picture. This inner outer world connection is enhanced by the socket which is just in the upper right corner of the picture. Off course this socket is there on purpose. It's easier to leave the socket out of the view than to show the socket in that precise corner. This creates a down-to-eart approach: Isolde created a picture from a woman lying in a pink dress under a frame flat on the ground, but keep in my mind this picture was taken in a place where sometimes people need a light or to hoover so there is also a socket in the wall.

Hear, hear... latest purchase

Like I wrote in my previous post. Last week I purchased a small work of art.
This time I didn't buy it through a benefit auction. I bought it at a gallery. The gallery Artolive is physically based in the culture park "Westergasfabriek" in Amsterdam. However that is not really important. Its virtual base is far more important. It's an online gallery with over 60,000 pieces of art. I often use it as a kind of database. I estimate that about 30 percent from the less known Dutch artists can be found on Artolive. And sometimes I find pretty things. Although pretty is in this case not the right adjective. Eerie is more in place.
I bought this work from Irina Babiouk. She was born in Russia. Nowadays she lives in the Netherlands. She graduated this year from art school. (St. Joost)

The work is called "Ear" and this is her description:
"All of the human body are energy nodes. A paranormal woman once told me that the ear is comparable to the foetus. As vulnerable and as source... puncture this with piercings and the energy nodes are wounded which are vital for the foetus."

latest purchases (3) or Benefit Aution (2)

The "cacaofabriek" isn't funded any more by the province. And the city council doesn't provide any means too. So the people from the cacaofabriek held an auction to raise money for their exhibition space.

The artist who once exhibited were asked to (partially) donate a piece of art. And the result was remarkable good. I am low on budget so I could afford just two bids.

The result of the auction was that 48 lots were sold and I bought 2 of them. While the auction was in progress, I was having dinner in Maastricht after trips to Tefaf and Marres. I'd made a written bid and just made it within my limit.

The lots are both drawings from "Petri Barten" I actually don't have a picture from them but I will provide it as soon as possible in this post.

Latest purchase (2)

Yesterday I blogged that I had made a written bid for one lot.
I won the bid !

Including mark-up it just cost me 135 euros while my limit was 180 inlclusive mark- up. The lot consisted of 3 silk-screens from the same artist Hans Vanhorck which also make a fine series.
A nice feature from 2 out of three is that part of the picture is outside the designated area. Not something you would expect from these works found at a regional auction.
But have a look for yourself:

Latest purchase

For reasons I will disclose later I instantly decided to buy three works of art.

All are from Sanneke Duijf . Originally these were meant for a competition. However they were not selected as a win.
I liked them and although I knew the works for 8 months, I just bought them a few days ago.

It will take a few more months to deliver because Sanneke mostly lives in Oslo which is rather far from Utrecht.

Below are the works I bought.
