Coupart ©

Coupart © is an original abstract painting method inspired by the great, Jackson Pollock.  Instead of dripping paint, Mark Eiden uses small and medium explosive charges to cast the Acrylic paint onto the 16" x 20" canvases.  You never know what you will get and it's absolutely impossible to duplicate the originals. This exclusive, one-of-a-kind collection will never be made into prints and will only be sold as a complete collection. One of the desirable traits is the occasional canvas penetration from the charges. These are most often minor, and at times, excessive; a key to the art's authenticity and proof of concept.
​ (This form of art is extremely dangerous and should never be practiced unless by trained professionals.  If you are traveling by air, keep in mind while transporting these paintings, that pyro residue may be embedded into the artwork. Just let TSA know ahead of time. )

There will only be 100 maximum pieces of Coupart ©, ever!  Most art values are determined by not only the content, but the numbers available. Generally, the artist has to pass away for the art value to increase. I am creating a new concept of art marketing that accomplishes the same result, however, I don't have to expire for the values to increase; at least not yet. After completing the 100th painting, I will never create another Coupart © painting again; ever! This artwork, exclusive due to the unusual style, will become a limited collection with no potential for expansion. When number 100 is completed, that's it; period! I expect to complete the collection by 2020.  Keep in mind that this is an extremely dangerous method of painting, not recommended for anybody not licensed or experienced in pyro. All of the paintings will only be sold as a complete collection. Obviously, as the collection grows, the value will increase exponentially until the 100th painting is completed. The only way the collection can be sold before completing the 100th painting is if Mark expires before this is accomplished.  (There is a defined formula utilized to calculate the current collection value.)  If this happens before reaching the 100th and final piece, the collection ends there and there will never be another Coupart © masterpiece made!

When the 100th piece is completed or in the event Mark expires, the collection will go to the highest qualified bid within 30 days of the 100th painting  completion or from when Mark passes, whichever comes first.  After the 30 days, the first qualified minimum bid wins the collection.  If the 100th painting is finished, the minimum bid is $3,382,410.00.

Remember, there will only be a maximum of 100 Coupart © paintings possible, and that is it, forever!
