Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by inefficiencyof on Jul 16, 2023 17:36:38 GMT 1, I have No idea about washing, or humidification processes but these look lovely. I canโt decide if I love the crisp perfect look or the natural aging look better, as I love both. But GLWTS.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Complex iCom on Jul 17, 2023 17:11:39 GMT 1, I have added images of the reverse sides of the prints, which as you can see are very flat.
The reason they are flat and not wavy (due to moisture when originally printed) is because I have had them flattened by Graham Bignell a well known Banksy restorer in London.
Cheers Iain

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Complex iCom on Jul 17, 2023 17:51:42 GMT 1, These certainly are not fake. In fact I bought two from Forum members.
They have been FLATTENED as I have made clear, and at great expense!
A lot of members know that I've worked with some very significant artists in our beloved streetart world, and I've been a collector for decades. I have a book published about my work with friends of Banksy!
So why would I peddle fakes? And why would I spend nearly ยฃ1,500 restoring them? Are you suggesting Graham Bignell restores fakes too?
THEY HAVE BEEN FLATTENED!!
I'll will find the unrestored images, just for you, ok?

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Complex iCom on Jul 17, 2023 19:43:25 GMT 1, Here are the images of the prints before I had them flattened by Graham Bignell.
As you can see they look exactly as they should. Very wavy and rippled.
We know why they are wavy as some very knowledgable screenprinters have actually explained the process on the Forum.
As another poster said, some people love the waves, and see that as part of the process and charm, others like them flattened, some have even mounted them permanently on board.
I like them flat and Graham Bignell did a great job.
I wasnโt going to sell them, but life gets in the way when youโre making plans.

Did you even read any of his post before even considering your reply and assumption? Ridiculous to use the ripples as a benchmark for authenticity with the process he has used for flattening his prints.
Due diligence is needed when buying anything if any larger sum of money, but I think you need to question this method as holding any value in this instance.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Fast Eddie on Jul 29, 2023 19:30:05 GMT 1, The damage on the Crisis As Usual looks like an oil stain, which is very hard to remove from any paper medium, let alone the crappy paper banksy decided to use for these. I suppose this is why the steep discount.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Complex iCom on Jul 29, 2023 22:28:44 GMT 1, Yes, it sadly is oil. As I said above, I bought it that way, and hoped that it could be restored but Graham Bignell and someone else tried but failed to remove it.
I think the best thing would be to frame the stains out. Making the dimensions of the revealed area the same size as Banksy made the print in the GDP Show. I guesstimated the framing from images taken of the show. I think the oversize framing has a good presence, see below. Or it could be cropped... obviously cutting a print is a rather bold choice...

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by sbash on Mar 24, 2024 14:06:37 GMT 1, Happy Sunday!, I know this has been asked before - but not seeing any answers, least not current.
Looking to sell a few of my GDP Rat prints and looking for suggestions as to what their current value might be - high/low... they're in superb condition - sores flat in case since GDP event.
Only asking as prices are all over the place between galleries at 3k mark to Ebay offerings which even doubtful of legitimacy.
Thanks S
