They should've done that old eBay trick and put a sprig of mint near it in the picture.

Banksy Rat, Flower Thrower, Crisis hi res images, by tab1 on Oct 21, 2019 21:46:26 GMT 1, I completely agree dude and am not judging anyone for selling and would do exactly the same if I needed to pay a bill but I still think anyone selling will look back and wished they hadnโt. Selling an unsigned Banksy screenprint edition for ยฃ200... are you nuts! I am however selling a Unsigned Rude Farmer to pay a slightly damp flat roof bill... Iโll create a thread for it. Makes it good for the real fans ๐Bought a few extra at ยฃ100.. most will not find out as they don't track sales unless they make a silly amount or ends up in a auction and gains media interest ...with prices as they are and set to gain higher , after these sales doubt many will turn up again until / if they reach ยฃ700+

Banksy Rat, Flower Thrower, Crisis hi res images, by robo on Oct 21, 2019 23:41:26 GMT 1, Do really like some of these, and I didn't get one when I visited GDP. However, as tempted as I am by Ebay, I think it's going to be hard to buy or sell these on the secondary market in the future because they have the least solid provenance of any Banksy pieces so far. I suspect that's the intention - they're simply great pieces to own if you were personally handed one outside GDP.

Give it a week or two, if that, and the bay will be littered with them.

I think it works better than the flowers without the thrower. However, if you'd never seen either original image you'd perhaps think they both work as standalone images.

Banksy Rat, Flower Thrower, Crisis hi res images, by met on Oct 27, 2019 14:58:57 GMT 1, Am I the only one thinking the rat prints are more than a bit rubbish without being part of a clock face? As freebies, the rat prints seem alright, despite the absence of their original context of the clock face alluding to a hamster wheel.
By far the weakest of the posters in my view is the image of the flowers. It just doesn't work as a standalone piece.
Imagine a visitor asking, "Is that a hand holding out a bouquet? What's it supposed to mean?" Quite likely, the owner would be unable to answer without also having to spell out that it's one of three parts of a larger work. Three parts which, at least when combined, actually do make sense and hold interest.
Understandably, the owner might be a little embarrassed about relying on such a dissatisfactory art explanation. But the only thing they'd really have left is the option to name-drop โ which seems even more tragic and desperate: "Um. It's by Banksy. He's a famous artist."
If I had any of the three posters, Crisis as Usual is the only one I would consider hanging.
