Soho has a new gallery that I'm absolutely thrilled about. It's called The Eloquent Delinquents or you could just call it subculture art heaven! It's full of paintings and drawings for rebels and rogues, which means my wish list just got longer! My favorite piece was the second, more rare poster for the Warhol / Basquiat show that opened on September 14, 1985. I have always wanted this poster, and I was delighted to see this rare version in person. For a promotional poster that one could get for free then, it now goes for $1,400.00. But, as a collector, I think these tokens of art history are worth it!
Also available are several Banksy originals, including "Welcome to Hell." As a contemporary street artist that already has work being auctioned at Sotheby's, expect to shell out some considerable cash. "Welcome to Hell," for instance, is priced at a reasonable $17,500.00. "Gallery Attendant" is half of a million dollars. Pocket change.
In edition to some incredible (mostly street) art, the gallery hosts an array of pop culture memorabilia and relics, as well as first edition books. Whether you need a limited edition signed portfolio of John Lennon lithographs, a psychedelic rock poster designed by Wes Wilson, the first edition of Clockwork Orange, or mug shot of Sid Vicious, this is the place to find it all!
