I can tell you that in the 1980s, the entire world was saying the same thing about
: Jean-Michel Basquiat. The proof's there in the fact that his paintings were selling for $100 to $200 and probably less when he first started. He was a graffiti artist to start with! He now holds the American Record for a painting! Go figure!
My point is this, if we all knew what was going to be hot then we'd all be rich.
I do not entirely agree on the "limited audience" point you made as the Asian market is rich in baseball knowledge and history and guess where the $110 million Basquiat went? Bingo!
Craig Kreindler's work is breathtaking and awe-inspiring and will certainly have a place in the finest of collections someday. I myself, can't afford one right now but still have his work on my list of things to acquire someday. Talent like his does not stay hidden forever!
