Banksy street works, by BW on Dec 19, 2014 13:14:59 GMT 1, I'm on the hunt for some Banksy street pieces. Rats and chimps would be ideal.
As I'm expecting to get street pieces I'm aware they don't come with pest control so this will be done all in good faith.
Please inbox me.

Banksy street works, by cmodart on Dec 19, 2014 14:17:23 GMT 1, I have often thought the price gap between editions and original works for B is strange. If you work at it, one can buy an original piece for less than the price of some of the more valuable editions. Some of that probably relates to the sentiment that it should not be sold, but I think if banksy continues to enjoy the same notoriety and general acceptance into the contemporary art world, that will diminish over time.
I agree somewhat that it is wrong to lift a piece of street art and sell it. I also think if he wanted it left alone, he could simply not post it on the website which would devalue it. There are many arguments for and against preserving these pieces. I saw two months ago and artist on this forum spent days creating a fantastic mural of a woman across the face of an entire building, And the next morning it was buffed. Which is worse? To fall victim to the sandblaster or the gallery? Just rambling.
Good luck.

Maybe one day he will authenticate some pieces and then their value would shoot up.

But since he won't authenticate I think most buyers are hesitant to purchase them since its difficult to prove 100% that it is an original Banksy.

The New York pieces were effectively authenticated by posting on the website, and they were all heavily documented. There are at least a dozen available now. I still think it has more to do with the idea that he is not fully embraced by the contemporary art world and by galleries who cannot make money on things that appear in the night. If nothing changes, his legacy is firmly rooted, and the original works may increase dramatically as the stigma about the sale of street art dissipates and street art is canonized in the mainstream art world. If anyone wants to tar and feather me over the comments, go ahead, but I'm just making commentary, not wishing for these things to happen.
