Banksy signature, your thoughts pls :), by craigf on Oct 12, 2008 12:14:03 GMT 1, Wondering what people make of this signature? It's on a gift print so the nice easy verification route of POW isn't an option
Thanks

Banksy signature, your thoughts pls :), by weaver on Oct 12, 2008 12:56:24 GMT 1, I'd be wary, certainly not the best of his sigs, the Y looks a bit odd, is this the pre-release gift print craig? Some of the names mentioned in the mail I received from the seller dont add up to the timing of the print being made ( bearing in mind the backdoor mary's being sold through here a couple of months back.... easy enough to add a sig and call it a gift).
The person mentioned as being given the gift has also been mentioned several times in the past regarding the distribution of older backdoor prints.
Had a good look and wouldn't be confident bidding on this one personally - pretty much 100% unverifiable, and too easily made for my liking.

Banksy signature, your thoughts pls :), by Prescription Art on Oct 12, 2008 13:27:33 GMT 1, Hmm... I'm not 100% convinced by this signature. I can't put my finger on why, but it doesn't quite look right to me. It's certainly very diffferent to the signature on mine, but since they were sold & signed over about 2 or 3 years the signatures can all be very different.

As this one was ment to be a pre-release gift (?) it wont be verifiable in any way shape or form, with no provenance ever coming for it..... if its not a doctored backdoor print, it may as well be as there is no way to prove otherwise. Too many ifs and buts. |

Face it the market has changed in the last year due to the scammers.... I'd go as far as saying, from a buyers standpoint, a banksy gift print with no actual form of provenance other than word of mouth is as worthless to the buyer as a backdoor print.
so with the exception of sentimental value, are all gift prints as worthless as backdoor ones?? Not going to turn this into another pointless debate about backdoors etc.... a stamped / hearted gift print would be easier to verify, but guessing one of the reasons PC / POW are not verifying gift prints would be the ease by which they can be created, along with the reason that its not nice to sell a gift. If I was given a gift print by Banksy, damn sure the sentimental value would outweigh the financial value of a print that I had no other way of proving was legit than some complete random stranger taking my word for it.....

I don't recall a Banksy ever being signed with an exclamation mark at the end...... no rhyme or reason sometimes a date. sometimes an excamation mark sometimes a nice full stop. no special times for when he uses an exclamation. |

Send it in to Pest Control for verification, with as much background to the prints history, it may stack up
