Two years have elapsed since his last full outing, so this latest solo show by Adam Neate has been widely anticipated.
But even if we hadn’t read the pre-exhibition PR, we could tell he was back by the plethora of posters and books that have started popping up on e-bay by the flippers, not wanting to let an opportunity to make a few quid out of the generosity of an artist to sit there and sign his name go to waste.
But with figures from anywhere between nine and fifty thousand pounds it would seem that these prices are out of sync with the present climate, but this is looking like a sell-out show. And if you were lucky enough to pick up one of the thousand works left on the street by Adam you might want to congratulate yourself on your good luck. Or exploit the situation like some, and bung it on e-bay with all the posters and books. And it wasn’t so long ago that Adam was leaving surplus work outside of charity shops only to have them rejected and put outside on the step for the bin men to take away. Oh for the gift of hindsight.
