Did the owner suddenly remeber that he/she had this in the shed at the bottom of the garden or something?

105,000$ after all said and done. I may be in the minority, but I kind of like the roughness on this, and think its a pretty good deal for size and edition. The canvas is over 17 years old and in my mind was probably thrown around in the studio back in the day before being given away or sold on. Quite like the imagery as well. Classic Banksy.

I like the image, I don't mind the scuffs on the pink. But all the cracking on the figures would bother me. I think its a fair price for the buyer and seller. And yes i'd take that over a print any day, the artist obviously spent some time on it. Well an hour or two. |

Saw it in person last week and was pretty much the worst condition original I have ever seen at auction. |

Sotheby's contemporary art day auction , by lee3 on Jun 29, 2017 17:42:53 GMT 1, The cracking everyone is highlighting is very common in the colored early works. Even the red laugh now at bonhams today has it up and down the left side. I had a green one that suffered the same. The reason for the cracking is that many of the early colored canvases through '02 were painted on unprimed canvases so they continue to expand and contract as temperatures increase and decrease in the environment they reside. I believe by '03 he had remedied this but always important to look with a keen eye at the early ones and it has nothing to do with the storage or care given to these by the artist or owners. I spoke with pest control at length about it and they recommended a restorer (Julia Nagel conversation). The solution is to heat the canvas up carefully which will expand the canvas and then glue it (she used honeycomb) to a hard wood or metal surface. Mine was far worse than the pink above and she did an amazing job removing all of the visible cracks.
But, then the owner is left with a canvas that is hard as a rock which depending on how you look at it can make resale more difficult. If it is not remedied, then these canvases will continue to degrade over time so slightly a case of damned if you do/don't but certainly more problematic if ignored. My fix over a decade ago cost about ~$3.5k from memory. Excuse the poor photos but all of those cracks disappeared and the paint looked uniform even from a distance of a few cm:
