I wouldn't like to guess on the price, it's a small piece and it's more along the lines of one of Guy's conte/oil prep pieces rather than a painting. Whatever the final price it will be going to a good cause. However I do know one thing............bidder number 2 will be returning, that's for sure.  |

Well the conte/oil pieces at Bonhams have a 1 - 1.5k estimate on them, and charity might push the price a little higher? My conte/oil piece which is not much bigger set me back £850 a year ago.
I won't be able to afford it anyway, but hoping to win one of the other pieces in the charity sale.

Certainly worth it NM, I paid quite a bit for mine and it's my pride & joy. I'm going to have a go, budget allowing, it's perfect for what I want, size wise (hopefully pocket too) and I liked the image when I first spotted it. Wish GD would more towards this size.
The Damon Ginandes is also very nice, as are others.

Who's going to outbid me then? Not me.. no cash. I'm going to revise my predicition... £950 was a bit mad! I think you'll get it for £485.01 (give or take a tenner) |

Either there is little interest (fingers crossed but doubt it) or you're all playing your cards close to your chest.

That Matt Small record is soooo insanely tastey and I also love the Guy's and the Damen Ginandes ones.

Now you have to start worrying how to frame it!

I had that sussed days ago. Acrylic box (framed tightly) directly above another (C215) and next to the conte piece to complete the wall.
If it was going anywhere else I may have been tempted to frame it traditionally but I think it's going to fit perfectly in acrylic.

Well Done standard.... in between both my estimates!
I wanted the Dale Grimshaw but I have no money to spend at the moment so had to watch it disappear... but I did get a look at his show at Signal Gallery today thro the window and saw how fantastic his work is... another day, I'll have one!
