Valutato che qui ancora nessuno ha introdotto l'argomento ... parto io con una mostra in corso.

MISTER THOMS
Artista interessante anche se molto (troppo) Jacovitti.

Preciso fin da subito che posterò tutte le mostre in corso meritevoli di essere citate
ed in particolare quelle organizzate da Galo e Sasha nella loro galleria qui a Torino.

Non sono socio della loro attività, tanto meno ho interessi di qualsiasi tipo con loro.

Con Galo ci conosciamo semplicemente da quasi 30 anni e gli ho sempre dato tutto il supporto possibile come amico. Fin da quando a 18 anni si trasferì ad Amsterdam, contro il volere dei suoi genitori, per inseguire il suo sogno di essere uno Street Artist.
A distanza di più di due decenni il suo successo è stato anche un pò il ns che gli siamo sempre stati vicino.

A breve altri miei contributi "storici" provenienti da altri lidi

venendo ai Top Player

tempo fa in altri luoghi scrissi quanto segue e ne sono sempre più convinto.

".. che ne dite non è il momento di valutare molto seriamente anche la Street Art come un "investimento in arte e collezionismo".

Stealing Banksy 2 Rats

..... Banksy’s ‘2 Rats’ was created in Berlin on the corner of Kopernicker and Adalbert Strabe when Banksy participated in a local art festival in 2003. Painted on a metal door the work measures 200cm high x 76 cm wide x 30cm deep (with handles) and was purchased from a mechanic shop before the owner renewed the shop façade.
This piece is very unique as the door also features works by world renowned street artists Faile and The London Police.
Faile created the character on the door called ‘Bunny Boy’ which is their most iconic image.
The London Police created the character on the door called ‘Lad’ which is their most iconic image.

ancora e sempre più valida questa info che diedi.
prezzi in costante aumento e

" ... Siccome si parla di cifre veramente modeste,
rispetto ad altri nomi più blasonati,
merita seriamente farci un'idea
valutato che qualcosa si sta muovendo

Intanto vi posto la sua Bio e una sua opera ( la mia

Ben Frost
Ben Frost (born Brisbane, Australia) is a visual artist whose work seeks to challenge contemporary norms and values of Western culture and society. Frost’s visual work places common iconic images from advertising, entertainment, and politics into startling juxtapositions that are often confrontational and controversial. He currently lives and works in Sydney, Australia, and exhibits locally and internationally.
The title 'Ben Frost is Dead' comes from his 2000 solo exhibition of the same name where he faked his own death. Invitations were created in the form of a newspaper funeral notice and distributed nation-wide. Newspapers labelled him 'sick' and his actions 'perverse,' when, by complete coincidence, the invitations went out on the same day a local art patron died.
The collaborative exhibition 'Colossus' with Roderick Bunter in 2000 at the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane featured a 12m x 2.4m mural by the artists, called 'Where Do You Want To Go Today?'. The mural featured controversial imagery, including masturbating cartoon characters amongst a pastiche of advertising icons. The work was a statement on society's continuing loss of innocence. In the final week of the exhibition, a disgruntled viewer entered the gallery and slashed one of the paintings with a knife. Police requested the exhibition be closed. In 2002, he exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney as part of 'Primavera: Young Artists Under 35', where the same painting - 'Where do You Want To Go Today?' - was exhibited. Police again requested the painting be removed due to public concern.
The next year, he moved to Tokyo, where he contributed as an illustrator to magazines such as Black + White, Blue, and Men's Style for more than 3 years.
In 2005, he moved to Sydney, where he continues to live and work. That same year, he started the online art store and blog portal Stupid Krap, which continues to support and represent a number of notable Australian emerging artists including Anthony Lister, Numskull, Beastman, Kareena Zerefos, E.L.K, Mark Drew, HA-HA, Kill Pixie, and Bridge Stehli. Stupid Krap is currently located in a two-level warehouse in Annandale, which also incorporates Stupid Krap Studios - a multi-disciplinary art collective of ten established and emerging artists.
Frost has been exhibiting throughout Australia and internationally over the last 10 years, including solo shows in London, New York, and San Francisco, as well as group shows in Amsterdam, Berlin, Mongolia, and Singapore. In 2007, Frost participated in Tiger Translate in Beijing, collaborating with local Chinese artists.
Frost is currently self-represented in Sydney, and has had shows in several galleries overseas, including Brooklynite Gallery in New York, and Opus, Zero Cool, and Cosh galleries in the UK.
His work has appeared in countless magazines and newspapers including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Oyster, WeAr, Monster Children, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Ok!, HQ, Eyeline, FHM, Australian Art Collector, Broadsheet, and Art Monthly.

... a prescindere
questa invece la fotografai a Lisbona nel febbraio del 2015
Un'intera città dove gli artisti possono esprimersi con il consenso (e i muri) dati dalla cittadinanza e con l'accordo con le pubbliche autorità.
Cosa unica quanto rara

... a prescindere
questa invece fu una grande conquista ed un importante punto d'arrivo per la galleria sempre di Galo
(ed ebbi la fortuna di poter vedere e scegliere le opere in anteprima)
