Top Ten Gifts for Under £5,000

The Christmas Gift Guide

1.

Tracey Emin

I Promise To Love You, 2014

£3,000.00

 

 

Since the late 1980’s Emin has been making her mark on the art world with her provocative, bold and often crude imagery. We are huge fans of her work here at Mustard and are pleased to be able to offer a signed lithograph at such an incredible price. Seasoned collectors and newbies alike, this work would make an ideal gift.

 

 

2.

Joan Cornella

HUMANS ARE A VIRUS, 2020

£3,000.00

 

 

 

Joan’s illustrations take the term ‘black comedy’ to new heights, mocking the human-race with his satirical and often sick imagery in his own unique style. He’s climbed the ranks of the art world in recent years and is a firm favourite among our collectors. Why not surprise the one you love with this classic signed edition by the man himself.

 

 

3.

JULIAN opie

woman taking off a man's shirt, 2003

£2,500.00

 

 

 

As ‘open editions’ go, this is up there with the best and has had consistently high auction results over the last few years. Julian Opie’s work can be found from museums to member’s clubs alike and, although unsigned, this particular three-colour screen print epitomises his unmistakable style.

jose parla

the founderS, 2021

£995.00

 

 

 

Jose Parla’s distinct style is certainly one for the discerning collector. His work is often featured in museum shows with his original works being acquired by some of the world’s biggest art collectors. To be able to offer such a beautifully produced work at this price is rare as he has slowed down production from hi studio in recent years. Show your knowledge of the art world by giving this as a gift this year.

bleck le rat

the anarchist, 2020

£995.00

 

 

 

Every collector should own a work by the French ‘father of street art’. He wrote the rules on stencil graffiti and inspired many street artists over multiple decades including likes of Swoon, Logan Hicks and Banksy. This is a classic example of his remarkable style and is hand signed by the artist.

 

 

6.

BANKSY

SOUP CANS (UNSIGNED), 2007

£2,850.00

 

 

 

For an artist that needs no introduction, Banksy’s works have gained in popularity so much over the last two decades that the majority of his works have become out of reach for many collectors. He has made ‘fine art’ available to the masses and with his ability to reinvent himself means that he has followed in the footsteps of some of the worlds greatest artists including Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. This exceptional yet affordable lithograph is a true example of his work and would make an incredible xmas gift.

 

 

7.

david shrigley

art will save the world, 2019

£4,950.00

 

 

 

David Shrigley is arguably becoming one of the greatest British visual artists. His ability to tap into the consumer side of the art world means that you are likely to see his work on a daily basis featured on everything from mugs, tea towels to greetings cards. His signed limited editions are for the serious collectors, some of which are becoming incredibly rare as the pool of Shrigley collectors continues to grow. This well priced edition is a must for any Shrigley collector and very competitively priced.

joan cornella vs DAVID SHRIGLEY, 2022

i got your face tattooed to remember how much i hate you, 2022

£3,000.00 

 

 

 

When this collaboration was announced it was no surprise that Shrigley and Cornella would end up working together. Their similar use of colour and differences in sense of humour mean that their co-produced sculpture ‘I Got Your Face Tattooed To Remember How Much I Hate You’ is a future classic and part of a collection of collaborative works available on the Mustard website. Make someone laugh this year as they unwrap their next addition to their collection.

kaws

what party (pink), 2020

£800.00

 

 

 

KAWS is one of the biggest artist’s pioneering the shift from fine art to global commerce, commodifying his famous companions and making them affordable and available to everyone. A favourite among street art collectors and one of the leading artists acquired by the ‘new wave’ of young collectors he’s solidified his place in the history books with his unmistakable style. ‘What Party (Pink)’ is one of our favourite companions and is one of the most affordable works on the Mustard Website.

 

 

10.

oli epp

carpe diem, 2018

£4,000.00

 

 

 

Oli Epp’s meteoric rise to fame over the last few years is no surprise considering his ability to connect with everybody within the art world. His choice of gallery representation tells us at Mustard that he’s just getting going, coupled with a string of significant auction results it seems as though he is destined for big things. Carpe Diem is a classic edition from Oli produced back in 2018 in a small edition of 30 and, in our opinion, is a great investment… It also looks pretty good too.
