Oh dear oh dear. A silly man at London’s Lazarides Gallery has just sent an email cc’ing everyone on their client list. I won’t reprint the list but suffice it to say some of the people on there have A LOT of money.

A bit of background – photographer Steve Lazarides founded LazInc many moons ago…it was unofficially running out of the boot of his car at one stage. One of the main artists on his roster is Banksy. The others are a who’s who of street art including Bast, Blu, Conor Harrington, David Choe, Faile, Invader, Lucy McLauchlan, Mark Jenkins, Mode2, Paul Insect and Vhils. Original works by these artists stem from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand pounds. Lazarides is a primary market dealer with direct affiliation to the artists he sells / represents. Though he might have slightly ostentatious taste in wristwatches and people hold mixed feelings about him [usually dependent on what they can get out of him], he’s a decent guy all round. His significance as the man who offered a platform for street art in this country cannot be negated. But he’s not someone you should really cross. That is all.
