My first banksy. What to get?, by londonfx on Aug 22, 2014 13:30:49 GMT 1, HEADER: naive question alert
I have 2 banksy lithos (green peace and tesco soup cans) but have yet to get an original banksy.
I know prices can be sky high for some of his pieces. But is there such a things as "an entry level" banksy. I know this sounds daft. But is there a print that every banksy collector has? Or one that was made in a really large run size meaning everyone has it?
Also, apart from the obvious. Is there any difference between the signed banksy prints and the unsigned versions?
Sorry if this sounds like a daft question!

Edit : If you want to own a Banksy print, just because it is a Banksy? Then buy the flags. Relatively a cheap print and still a strong image. I have one and i love the image and the print! It is printed on very sensitive paper, so if you don't really trust yourself/ your framer/ the seller? Buy one on dekled paper. Love those too and are also relatively cheap..

My first banksy. What to get?, by Deleted on Aug 22, 2014 13:35:51 GMT 1, no diff in image/ paper etc, just that squggle in the corner . I would suggest a mid era Bnaskhy - trollies/applause/grannies typa thing - nice paper, deckled edges and POW had go on top of QC by this time. U/S will be well less than 2.5K for any of them I would have thought, though doubtless someone will talk these pieces up as soon as I have posted this.

My first banksy. What to get?, by Deleted on Aug 22, 2014 14:39:46 GMT 1, I too am saving for my first Banksy and have enough for a silver flags which is an image I really like. It's very tempting to go for one of these but if you have a favourite then you've got to hold firm and keep saving for the one you want. Which in my case is a Toxic Mary or US Trollies. (Unless I get tempted by one of those rare mint Flags).

If there are people happy to flip urban art for ยฃ50, then assume there's people happy to forge PC COA for lot more.
