Inflation? What cost £1 in 2021 is now £4750?
Artist Steve Porter has seen the value of his Signed99 paintings soar by 4750% since 2021.
Signed99 paintings use actual signatures as a twist
on the traditional portrait.
The starting price in late 2021 was £1.
They are now priced from £4750,
with 34 of the 99 commissions sold.
Before launching Signed99, Steve spent 20 years making murals and sculptures with children in schools, travelling across the UK.
Signed99 is:
99 signature portrait commissions
Individually priced: £1 - £1,000,000.
Individually numbered: 01 - 99.
“The pricing structure part of the Signed99 artwork,” Steve said. "So while they sell, all the values rise, like an auction."
Signed99 paintings can be enjoyed as personal celebrations or affirmations.
Other clients have commissioned Signed99 portraits as gifts.
Some have requested ‘neutral’ signatures for investment purposes.
Henry Briffel, MD and Founder of HXart in New York City said:
“I love this. It makes me happy. I love my piece of [Signed99] art and I’ve showed it to a bunch of people.” Henry owns Signed99/11.
THE QUESTION IS:
How long will it take for Signed99 prices to climb all the way up to the million?!
