Banksy Blu Watchtower, by milou2 on Sept 19, 2019 19:30:32 GMT 1,
Here's a l o n g shot but in case ... would anyone know who owns the Banksy-Blu collaboration watchtower? I know the towers aren't everyone's cup of tea (though I quite like them - and stupidly sold one mine (a collaboration with Peter Kennard) some time ago) and wondered whether the owner might consider parting with it at some point ...
A bit out in left field, I know, but thought it worth a try ...
cheers

Banksy Blu Watchtower, by Fast Eddie on Sept 19, 2019 23:07:52 GMT 1, Probably the most intriguing of the whole set, in my view. Very much a Blu piece too.
Unfortunately, probably in some vault somewhere...

Banksy Blu Watchtower, by Red Barron on Sept 20, 2019 18:32:31 GMT 1, I have two great art regrets. One of them was not buying this piece in a Bonhams auction in 2011. (https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18931/lot/48/).
I was registered, watching it and chickened out at the last minute as I was a cash strapped, new first time dad at the time. Lucky for you because had I bought it, you wouldnโt find it for sale until I died!
Good luck in the search, it may not be everyoneโs favorite but it is a special one!

The WOH towers are so undervalued! Especially ones with Banksy pieces.

Very political as much of Blu's work is. In this article about Blu you can find more background information with regard to the watchtower that he painted in Bethlehem back in 2007.

Banksy Blu Watchtower, by Monsieur2T on Oct 17, 2019 22:34:39 GMT 1, Hi Everyone,
one collector is proposing me a Watchtower for sale (signed on the bottom of the base) comes with COA from PC.
What kind of price do you think would be fair for this kind of piece ?
Thanks.

Five years ago $15k after walked off hotel and the hoopla over banksy authorized merch made by locals, Iโd say that watchtower which would and could only be from the original edition of what was it again an edition of fifteen? This would be worth at auction upwards of $80k-$90k and thatโs just my worthless unthought out opinion. Might be worth two three times that to a person willing to pay, but whatโs anything worth but what the last one sold for?
No one else finds it strange that Banksy would of just happened to have the same colored crayon laying around? I would email blu with photos to know if itโs real or not.

One was in 2017 Forum Auctions I can't remember the estimate but the start price was ยฃ32,000
Not sure if Sothebys sold one a while back check their past sales.
There were only 15 of them so it will be hard to price

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that an owner could sell a less than authentic duplicate, so perhaps not quite 100%
