The Iconic Alien Going For $150,000 | Behind the HYPE: Futura Pointman
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2021
- Futura’s ‘Pointman’ is instantly recognizable by graffiti fans and art enthusiasts from across the globe. Collaborating with Nike, Bathing Ape and the New York Mets, the figure has evolved from its origins with Futura experimenting with it on paper in the 1970's and 1980's, before it was propelled by UNKLE’s album cover artwork to greater heights. This is how Futura’s ‘Pointman’ became an icon in graffiti, fine art, and fashion.

This was cool to see. I recently interviewed up and coming artist, Xelephant and saw his collection which consists of some Futura pieces. Very impressive and he will be dropping his own custom toy soon.
I think his work has to be seen in the perspective, that it's quite old. Back in the day it was quite original and something different. Nowadays it's harder to value, same for Andy Warhol's style which nowadays can be done with the click of a button. I do think it's a bit disappointing that he tries very few new things. But clearly enough old skool fans that support him.
Agreed. I respect it and it’s origin/success. Just lacking the admiration part due to the lack of evolution
You don’t get it
Way over your head
That’s a good ass album no cap
ive been listenign to unkles album a lot but didnt know that this character had such cultural influence, verry interesting
A great artist, has a broad aspect of making art👏🏻👏🏻

Now this is art. Not some banana sticking on a wall with duct tapes
It's dadaism
no one in the world can convince me that banana guy wasn’t trolling like Demna Gvasalia at vêtements

Hi
Os gemeos ,Daim,Seak, mode2
I have one fl001 ready to sell if anyone interested
Cactus
damn
NiggaMoney Business !!!
the pointman was around way before, if you know Subway Art.
One time I saw Futura and he had the worst body odor I have ever smelled. You would think that if he made 100k off a plastic alien he would be able to afford a stick of deodorant or a bar of soap..
Not Suprising...
These Type Individuals Are Motivated By Something Else ⭐
I really don't see the appeal. Call me a hater but I don't get how these artists get so rich off of simple ass bullshit like this
Any Indian hypebeast's in the comment section??
I know a lot.. But I'm poor and 13,..fav sneaker?
Got knowledge but no bread to afford
@@juhanjames2653 retro 1chicago colourway
Sacai X nike for me.. Green/yellow colour
But I've stopped all this
. Mom says I shud study.. She can't afford this.. Of course
what a bs
Lame
More like overhyped this crappy alien doodle turn sculpture selling for that much is beyond me some people really do get that lucky break huh crazy dumb world we live in haha
Meh, Futura has been doing the same stuff for years. Time for something new.
do you wear jordans?
@@TTEREVE never owned one pair, why?
Nope, he's used one thing in multiple ways which is great. It's iconic.
His art is stupid bro. Jordan 1s are the best. Vintage Jordan1’s or Jordan 1s that I made look vintage are the only thing that is cool. And Hidden stuff. And EE shorts bro. Futura is dumb bro.
@@bakeraus drake is iconic. Futura, not so much.
I'm huge huge fan of this show. But this episode doesn't live up the hype. I'm sorry. Just my opinion
wow this shit looks terrible
Futura is the wish version of KAWS. While KAWS is the wish version of Takashi Murakami lol. Don’t put his name alongside basquiat and keith herring please lol
L
Bro said Keith herring
He was known before them
very disappointed he's making this go up because he's letting people just destroy the environment all because of a cool pointman figure or whatever
