BNE part 234, by Dr Plip on Jul 21, 2014 1:48:45 GMT 1, He's doing a Scheherazade isn't he. We'll all be old and grey, wondering what step 786 of his art project is. #OldAndGreyNow had to google that one... "The story goes that every day Shahryar (Persian: شهریار, "king") would marry a new virgin, and after doing so would despatch the previous day's wife to be beheaded." whoa. thanks for the history lesson! No, no, no, not that bit. The bit where she keeps telling a new story each night, to drag things out so she can gather more money for the Oasis charity.

BNE part 234, by Dungle on Jul 21, 2014 6:41:21 GMT 1, So who's gonna carry on getting duped by this guy now.
His interesting social experiment will no doubt involve donating 350 dollars for the chance to win a 6k print.
Loads will donate but none will win. And he'll donate a whole 35 dollars from each 350 donated. He's gotta live after all.

BNE part 234, by dwight on Jul 21, 2014 17:21:11 GMT 1, bnedotorg Shortly after our World Water Day release of The Collaborative Tee, Banksy posted on his website the words “Banksy has not made any t-shirts for a water charity”. What followed was interesting. About half of our customers immediately requested refunds, a few even insulted us. Some claimed refunds and generously donated directly to water charities. Some customers, understandably, were bummed that they weren’t getting a tee from their favorite artist. Apologies to anyone who was disappointed. Many people however, didn’t really care about Banksy’s claim of non-involvement, and stuck with us because they believed in the cause. Not only did they want to help people in need get access to clean water, they stuck with us to help build a movement. If you were one of the people who did not claim a refund, we feel that you deserve to be rewarded. It takes a lot to commit to a mystery tee, even if it does help people in need get access to clean drinking water. On September, 18 at 10AM PDT, a signed print titled “Water” will be released on BNE.org. Collab Tee customers who stuck with us, and did not claim a refund, will have the opportunity to purchase prints for the drastically discounted price of $350. This print will be available to refunded Collaborative Tee customers, and the general public for the full price of $6000. Print details and ordering instructions will be disclosed shortly before the release. One print per customer. Absolutely no exceptions. In November, the money that we have raised will be put to work. We will fund the work of small local NGOs in South-East Asia, and help bring clean water to those in need. Photos and updates from the field will be posted on social media and BNE.org

BNE part 234, by t3c on Jul 21, 2014 17:38:36 GMT 1, 6K print eh? Or 350 for those that stuck. That's a drastic difference in pricing isn't it?
I kept 1 T and refunded the other so i'm technically in this game still, technically
"what if what if" comes to mind here which i guess is the entire point of his latest play..
man this guy though...he's got bigger balls than me or anyone else here thats for sure to keep the game going after the total car crash from the initial T-shirt sales

BNE part 234, by Happy Shopper on Jul 21, 2014 17:41:53 GMT 1, Released 99 Prints style, no doubt. Image released when it goes up... utter nonsense from BNE as usual. Still saying people donated so much to charity, while we all know he pockets the majority of it.

BNE part 234, by Deleted on Jul 21, 2014 17:50:50 GMT 1, It was all planned from the beginning I think.
banksy was involed from the start just like shep invader faile only banksy knew people would be buying his tee purely to flip and not give two f**ks about the charity so they had to think of a way to catch people out that's why banksy annonced an hour after the tee sold out and not before the drop ( it was all over the net for 10 days prior) it wasn't a released that just happened after all it was massively advertised and hyped why would banksy just sit back to wait and watch everybody get ripped off.
now the people who did care about charity are being rewarded with a cost price banksy
all the rest of us idiots who got a refund have to pay secondary price!
That's what I think anyway kinda regret getting the refund now

Image shown by May 2016.
Fine print: If you buy this and don't refund you will be eligible for a mystery original work worth £50k for only £1k and will have reached level 3 of the BNE cult.

plus it doesnt matter, people will still buy a print by Banksy at 6k.
That said, BNE keeps riding the what-if train and is therefore abusing Banksy imo. Not ok

Koons Split Rocker vase 5K www.gagosian.com/shop/jeff-koons--split-rocker-vase--AB/CMS_JKOON17 the version up in Rock Center in NYC is stellar and if you are in the area and have not checked out the Retrospective at the Whitney it is not to be missed.
for those that dont know Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov is by far one of my personal favorite symphonies. if you dont like symphonic music it may be a nice little gateway drug for you. Follow it up with Holst's Symphony of the planets. Might change your life, probably wont
He's doing a Scheherazade isn't he. We'll all be old and grey, wondering what step 786 of his art project is. #OldAndGreyNow

BNE part 234, by Deleted on Jul 21, 2014 18:43:31 GMT 1, First of all - I don't think any Banksy print was ever close $6K original cost, correct?
Second, I highly doubt Banksy would be involved in what would amount to a "prank" on his own fans - fans who were absolutely willing to donate money to a charity, just not to do it through this shady BNE asshole. It wouldn't be "ha - you learned a lesson for not supporting a charity". It would be "ha - you didn't trust this shady dude and decided to dontate money directly instead"
just not his style and I think he'd loose a lot of respect if this was the case (which I'm 99.999 percent sure it's not)
