Man On Dolphin shows a lively, figurative image with the central character flying through the air on a dolphin. Below him, four dancing figures wave their arms with joy as they float in the dotted body of water. This print is depicted in Haring’s simplistic linear style and rendered exclusively in black and white.\"}'\u003eFrom Rags To Polyester belongs to one of Harland Miller’s most recognised series of works inspired by the Penguin book covers. From Rags To Polyester plays upon the well-known phrase ‘from rags to riches’, which suggests a commentary infused with underlying notions of class and modernity. One interpretation could be that it reminds a viewer of classic 20th century English comedians like Albert Modley and Frank Randle, in true Northern spirit. Drawing upon his Northern roots and steeped in British heritage, Miller’s work celebrates a treasured part of his country’s national aesthetic identity, whilst at the same time forging a fresh interpretation of that aesthetic that catapults it straight into contemporary culture, reimagined in a new, artistic context alongside bold text. The text takes precedent and combined with the dripping colour and painterly brushstrokes the effect of these works is one of an ageing paperback infused with artistic vigour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGiclée

From Rags To Polyester plays upon the well-known phrase ‘from rags to riches’, which suggests a commentary infused with underlying notions of class and modernity. One interpretation could be that it reminds a viewer of classic 20th century English comedians like Albert Modley and Frank Randle, in true Northern spirit. Drawing upon his Northern roots and steeped in British heritage, Miller’s work celebrates a treasured part of his country’s national aesthetic identity, whilst at the same time forging a fresh interpretation of that aesthetic that catapults it straight into contemporary culture, reimagined in a new, artistic context alongside bold text.

I started interacting with Norio during the first lockdown

I started interacting with Norio during the first lockdown. Because interest rates were so low, I had little idea what I was doing and was looking for new investment opportunities. Norio was patient and helpful, and he didn't mind when I called with stupid questions. He has gone above and beyond to ensure that prints are delivered safely, and that all payments and purchases are completed quickly and easily. I highly recommend Hype Museum for its excellent customer service.

I can't say enough nice things about them

I can't say enough nice things about them. They simplified what should have been a time-consuming and difficult process. Everything went smoothly, from picking up my print to the restoration process and finding me a buyer. Norio is an expert in his field, and he negotiated a fantastic price for my Banksy print. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and his communication skills were exceptional. Thank you, Norio, and everyone else on Hype Museum team. It's been a pleasure working with you.

I cannot praise Hype Museum highly enough

I cannot praise Hype Museum highly enough. From the moment I spoke with Konomi, Ichiko, and Norio, I knew my sale was in good hands. I was nervous at first, but they walked me through the process step by step, kept me updated at all times, and handled my sale professionally. I can say with certainty that this is the best customer service I've ever experienced.

It's difficult to let go of something as valuable as a seller

The disadvantage of collecting art has always been the difficulty in moving on from a painting on...

The disadvantage of collecting art has always been the difficulty in moving on from a painting once you've grown tired of it. When you want to sell a "interesting picture," all too often the gallery where you purchased it has either lost interest in it or has "just taken on half a dozen works by that artist" and is unable to help you. Hype Museum has helped to alleviate that grief. They are on your side and will go above and beyond to find you a buyer who is enthusiastic and trustworthy. If you know exactly what you want, on the other hand, they will go out and find it for you, resulting in you paying a reasonable price. I've purchased and sold art through Hype Museum on several occasions, and each transaction was handled professionally and without incident. They are a pleasure to work with.

I had been looking for a Banksy print for quite some time when I came across Hype Museum

I had been looking for a Banksy print for quite some time when I came across Hype Museum. Buying Banksy is not the easiest task in the world, but with Hype Museum, it was a piece of cake. We began with a webchat on MYB's website (at 8 p.m. on Saturday), and I received a Banksy the following Monday. As a customer, I was respected and valued at every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Hype Museum.
