I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the more valuable Banksy pieces out there

... mr lee: he has the letter from banksy (signed by banksy) saying that he can keep the mobile lovers piece and sell it for his youth/boys club ... the letter was auth by PC as being real. I agree with all of the above but as a matter of policy, I'd be surprised if they would issue a COA given the unintended consequences of doing so (i could be very wrong). Likewise, you can be certain that all 3 of those houses listed will not sell a work in the absence of a COA which explains why this is being valued where it is. The letter was a very nice gesture but doesn't change the fact that it was still an outdoor piece and they've been crystal clear about their position on outdoor works since '08. I'm certainly not trying to be argumentative here either so I hope that it's not coming across that way. |

Exactly. Isn't this more or less the only authenticated outdoor Banksy?

... no arguement mr lee, but PC did auth the letter so that the club could keep the piece that was in the 'safekeeping' of the Council albeit in Bristol Museum for the public to view and make a donation (for the club) if they wished ...
there is a thread on here about mr b setting a (potentially bad) precendant.
I very much respect your views and knowledge of mr b and his works.

MOBILE LOVERS: Banksy spotted being valued Antiques Roadshow, by lee3 on May 30, 2014 20:29:55 GMT 1, Dappy, I agree and mobile lovers will have all kinds of demand but since it was painted in the streets, it will have a few less venues to be sold in vs. some of the other works. That fact doesn't diminish the fact that it will still be a large windfall to the club. To your point about the potential bad precedent, I think they've avoided as much by writing the letter vs. a coa. Most street works will never have a letter from the artist so this one will always carry an seemingly unique cachet.

Lost me there. It's a door; pretty easy to sell anywhere, seems like.

Although it's always interesting to see what some of the valuers say about stuff.
Rupert Maas can't really go wrong with his valuation (for insurance usually)
"Maas is frequently called upon to provide independent valuations for museums, both domestic and international, and has previously valued individual pictures and entire collections (for example the John Wharlton Bunney 1828-1882 archive)[citation needed] for Acceptance in Lieu. In 2006 Maas was duped into paying £20,000 for a faked art work claimed to be by fairyland painter John Anster Fitzgerald (1823–1906).[3]"

MOBILE LOVERS: Banksy spotted being valued Antiques Roadshow, by Dice on May 30, 2014 22:19:16 GMT 1, It's not really a street piece as it was only put up with the intention of it being taken down by the boys club! There should be no problem issuing a COA as the intentions are genuine ie the intention of the artist was that the piece should be removed to be sold by the boys club. Therefore it's not setting a precedent other than for similar future 'projects'.
He could have avoided a whole load of crap by just donating a piece to the boys club instead of making up this pseudo street piece.

Yes wiz but why was it put there? Because it's near the boys club. And why was that important? Because he wanted them to have it. If he wasn't bothered he wouldn't have got involved when the museum tried to claim it.
It was a setup from the beginning, this isn't a random piece of street art at all, banksy fully intended for it to become a major news story with a charitable angle.
Nothing wrong with that IMO, my point is only that the COA situation wouldn't set any dangerous precedents as it's obvious the piece was intended for resale from the start.
