It would look ridiculous to have this on the wall surrounded by a bunch of Phantom Stranger and Deadpool art. Why did I read your response? Now I can't scrub it out of my eyes nor brain.

Easy to say in spacious unwanted rolling fields of Tennessee, but have you SEEN the cost of wall space in New York?!? Every inch costs. If he got a wall that big, even Gene would be broke.

zhamlau Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) The Frankenstein is probably my single favorite piece of "comic art" ever done...having said that....does anyone really see a million+ for it?

Does anyone with $1m to spend (generally people that know or know those that know how to handle money) see $3-5m in 10 years that would make spending seven figures 'the right move'? zhamlau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 It will be interesting to see how it will do. I can see how its a grail for some people and the detail is incredible but I always felt like there was too much going on in it and the drama of the moment is completely lost in 343 beakers on shelves. I have to think its sub 1m. I'm not big on the batman 251 cover yet I'd prefer that to this. Of course now that I've said that it will probably go for more.

An old artist friend of mine would critique hyperrealism categorically as ultimately (and thus also essentially) unsettling/dissatisfying to the casual viewer because the entire image is all perfectly in-focus. Foreground, background, edges, center, etc. All in focus. Which is not how the human eye actually works. So what would initially be stunning in a slavish technical sense ("mad skillz, yo!") would eventually turn out to be empty calories ("not good art"). I'm not sure if he would ever criticize anything Wrightson, just cuz, but if we were still on speaking terms I would certainly challenge his pro-Wrightson prejudice against that other self-professed standard of his (which I do agree with).

Bronty Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Right. Some of my favorite artists are very aware of that and lavish incredible detail on the focal points while barely suggesting the rest. Frazetta worked that way in at least some of his paintings.
