I originally didn't buy this chick but I switched this chick for another photo with chicks. That's why this picture is later than the previous two.

budget and collecting 3
Fact my budget has been spent more or less.
In a previous post I said I was in the process of narrowing down m choices . I somehow did.
1. Carla van de Puttelaar I actually decided to buy a photograph from her and I did this Friday. It will take a lot of paperwork to conclude an I need to make space it's 208 x 78 cm but bought is bought.
2. Liselotte Schuppers. A month ago I visited her house and selected two photographs from the Anonymous series. (Superman and Gladiator) She made me a good offer. I took the offer this Friday, but delivery will take place in December 2009. I need to save some money first.
3. Nicky Onderwater: I emailed her for a price query. Prices are stiff but fair, some discount for prints already printed for an exhibition. Hard to choose for these pictures. Result: alas next year she has a better chance. Not enough budget left.
4.Boukje Janssen: she has a group exhibition "...Expectations" during ArtAnsterdam with unknown work. That was not the work I really liked but in the previous post you saw that I did buy one work.
5. Any other artists on ArtAmsterdam I might encounter. I encountered many artists saw many works and bought one from Jantien Jongsma.
I will come back at her when discussing ArtAmsterdam.
6. Janneke Sprenkels: she will be on the Art & design sale at the TAC. Unknown to her she still has a trump card. One of her works is on my want list.
Unbelievable, but that work is still on my want list. I did buy three other (cheaper) works from her.
7. Marleen v/d Heuvel and Liselotte de Groot were also on the Art & design sale at the TAC. But no trump cards here. No trump cards, but their prices were so low I couldn't resist. I bought 3 works from Marleen and 2 from Liselotte.
8. Other artists on the Art & design sale: there was actually one I brought work from. Karlijn de Groot and her sister Liselotte de Groot were sharing a booth. I bought 5 photographs from her.
9. Merel van Beukering wasn't at the sale but I contacted her about some photographs and bought one photograph as stated a few days ago.
10. I found some more options to buy art I wasn't aware a month ago. To avoid more confusion I'll leave them out for now. I also did not use them, although they're very tempting. Maybe later I use them.
These were the original 10, but I found out some more works to buy.
11. I bought a photo through the photoq.nl auction see this post. and I've bid on two more which will end in a month or so. These weren't expected.
12. I bought two installations from Roos van der Heiden which wasn't the intention beforehand.
13. Amanda Besl is back in the picture her Gallery Aeroplastics made a smart move, they offered a payment in installments. Maybe they're reading this blog. :-)
I do have the inclination to buy the high end art and so more expensive work.
I actually did buy 1,2, 4, 5 with high end expensive work, but all with payment in installments or with a late delivery. In the lower end I bought a lot of works but most under 100 euros with a few exceptions. So I still can afford collecting art.
These installments will have effect on my budget for next year, but I thought the same thing last year and I still cope with it easily.
I bought three pictures from Janneke Sprenkels as I stated in #6, from these I publish two pictures with some humor in it:
First: A Game of Chess:
Second: Making eggs.

purchase #40 Boukje Janssen
Sometimes coincidence needs a little help. This Friday I went to the atelier from Boukje Janssen to have a look at the installation Ensemble. I had seen it on her website and was seriously interested to buy it.
However the installation was too vulnerable for my taste. Considering I have a cat lingering in my house who likes strings to play with and likes to explore new places to lie in. The only thing I could have done was buy it and immediately stock it. Therefore buying wasn't a real option. I buy art to watch it not to stock it.
However next to the installation Boukje had hung a just finished painting. It had a similar theme and even a similar figure like "Ensemble".
Yesterday I bought it. Delivery will of course be later, that's quite common in Art.
One surprise is still left. The painting hasn't got a name yet... Yes it was that fresh.
Below a picture:
and a detail:
---
general remark about my blog:
The close watcher will have seen that I skipped a lot of numbers of my purchases.
The even more close watchers will have seen that about five artists moved from "watch list" to "in collection". I reveal later what I bought from whom.
And yes I will discuss ArtAmsterdam later.

Dearest Tinkebell,
TINKEBELL. has a different view on the world than most of us. She wants to explore why our society is made like it is. Usually she is focused on our behaviour against animals. Why is it illegal to import cat's or dog's fur into the EU but breed thousands of minks in the Netherlands to make fur coats out of them?
In my blog I use her name often to distinguish between fairs which just show the easy art for above the couch(Primavera, Eindhoven) and fairs which also show more controversial art. (ArtAmsterdam , ArtRotterdam)
This is not without a reason in stead of just questioning she acts. Probably her most controversial project was killing her own cat and making a purse out of it.
An other one was saving 61 male-chickens out of the bio-industry, however threatening to put them into a shredder if the chickens weren't bought from her. about 10 were bought...
A third one was making a cat/dog from the fur of a cat and a dog. Inside out the dog became a cat and the other way around.
Mostly because of the first performance she got hate mail. About 100000 hate mails did she get. So what does a artist like TINKEBELL. with 100000 hate mails?
She makes a book out of them. Together with Coralie Vogelaar she took about thousand
of these mails and went looking for information about the ones who sent the on the Internet. Coralie described it as searching in "the armpit of the Internet"
The result is a 700 page book full of hate mail and pictures and texts from the ones who sent those e-mails which were picked from the Internet.
The question rises whether it's illegal to create a book with copyrighted hate mails, Internet based texts and photo's. Yes it probably is. No one mentioned in the book however tried to get the book out of the market by a court decision.
So you can still buy your own copy. Therefore look here.
And what was my action? I bought the book the first day it was published. I wasn't the only one. They were for sale in the booth at ArtAmsterdam from the Gallery representing her. It was sold out the same day. The following days people kept asking for the book both at the booth but also at the information desk of the fair.
Some remarks afterwards: Her cat she killed was maltreated by the previous owners and was behaving at least strange. Most people would have taken the cat to the vet to have it killed. TINKEBELL. isn't most people.
The male chickens' destination was the shredder before they were "rescued" by TINKEBELL. This happens all the time in the Netherlands.
Finally a link to a youtube movie about the Popple (the dog/cat). (In Dutch but pictures speak for themselves.)
A link to an English article from a Dutch paper.

budget purchase #23 Merel van Beukering
Sometimes I collect according to plan. Coincidence or plain chance usually have the most influence in what I buy. This one was different. In the begin of this year I placed Merel van Beukering on my watch list. A few weeks ago I contacted her about her works. She mentioned what was for sale en for which price.
An other part of the plan was to contact Nicky Onderwater for her photography. Also she sent met pictures and her price. I liked her work, but won't buy it this year. To understand her work I want to buy two pictures, but that doesn't fit into my budget. They go on my want-list. I do not show her pictures because I usually just show what I bought.
But an other link is here.
I did buy one picture from Merel van Beukering. But also placed one of her works on my want list for next year.
The one I bought you can see below.

spare flies and bees
I skip Art Amsterdam for now, but will come back later.
At my Art Club in Utrecht (kunstliefde) there is an exhibition from "Belofte 4" i.e. Promising 4.
In there was some amazing work from Roos van der Heiden. She makes installations with insects in them. They are mostly called "Worst case scenario #." I actually never saw an installation made around insects.
I bought "Worst case scenario 4" and #5. After e-mailing her she promised she would deliver some spare parts in the form of dead bees and flies.
The artists statement:
Bird's parch in backdoor gardens.
The driver searches for a spot to park his car.
A chicken wonders where her leg has gone.
Wood stacks in front of the house.
I buy a loaf of bread and pick up the parched bird
I watch the driver and the empty parking spot.
The chicken lays her last egg en I take my soldering iron.
Wood is in the wheelbarrow and will hang from the ceiling later on.
What would be the faith of a pigeon in a cage whose owner has died a few weeks ago?
Why are there so many recreational facilities and are we bored to death?
I would like to lure a mouse with a piece of chewing gum.
What I make has a trail of events from which I do not question the purpose or aimlessness.
In my thoughts I stroll from memory to experience and from materialisation to frustration.

purchase #19 Anouk Kruithof
To avoid titles as "again another purchases" I started to number them.
This photo is my 19th purchase this year. I bought it from the auction website from photoq.nl.
The Artist is Anouk Kruithof, an ambitious and talented artist who goes from residency to residency. Nowadays she resides in Prague.
The photo I bought however is in Berlin. So I t will take some time before it will be delivered.
Below you can see it. It's called "There is ..." It's more in installation she made a photo of than a plain photo. Anouk usually makes installations and photographs.
You can view more work at www.anoukkruithof.nl -> works
