Banksy Wall - Red Propeller Charity Print, by corblimeyswife on Jan 7, 2009 19:16:49 GMT 1, This is just an inkjet from a photograph, why is it costing so much? you can buy similar inkjets on canvas from Athena for ยฃ30 - ยฃ60 of Banksy's street work...
www.vivarti.co.uk/search_results.php?search_KEYWORD=banksy&search_RANGE=&o=1&search=1
Or why not photograph Banksy graffiti and get it printed yourself?
Nice setiment on the charity front but they're also taking money for themselves for the paintjob.

Banksy Wall - Red Propeller Charity Print, by AxB on Jan 7, 2009 19:39:06 GMT 1, whilst its always nice to see money going to a GOOD cause
i'm not sure how much praise they should get for taking the 10% to restore a wall that they themselves are trying to sell
i would have thought given the money they would make from the sale they could at least pay to get it fixed up themselves ?

RP were involved in selling the wall before the splash
so i presume they are involved in selling the wall after restoration

Correct - would thoroughly recommend reading Home Sweet Home - Banksy's Bristol which has all the details.

The scene as of last year or so

Banksy Wall - Red Propeller Charity Print, by low3 on Jan 7, 2009 21:31:26 GMT 1, I think everyone should take what they read in the papers with a pinch of salt: it seems like a case of chinese whispers. RP have gone from helping with the sale in one article to being owners in another.
If they'd owned the house, surely they wouldn't have waited for six or seven years before selling it? hardly good business!
Having said that, i'm not sure i agree with the idea of printing a cheap photo out and flogging it to repair the damage. Maybe they should just take care of that with the profit margins from the house sale. I'm sure they'll still be in profit!!

They own the house along with others in Easton. Why haven't they sold it ? that's what property parasites developers do buy, leave empty, reduces available stock and increases prices meaning someone else earns your money for you. Couple that with the fact they tried to cash in big time on the mural and it's no surprise they haven't sold it. I still reckon if they hadn't made such a big thing of it and drawn so much attention to the work then it wouldn't have been splashed.

Banksy Wall - Red Propeller Charity Print, by gerry on Jan 7, 2009 23:49:18 GMT 1, Took some photos of round there a couple of months ago and put them here - bristolgraffiti.wordpress.com/2008/11/17/round-cato-street/
No-one I know seems to know who splashed it, but you could work out their height, gender and probably even take their fingerprints from where they've wiped their hands on the walls around it. It was definitely someone who knew which bits of it to take out though, the signature above the road name's been carefully painted over as part of it.
Either way, whatever really, an awesome piece, but now gone, as happens to all graf eventually. I'm more gutted that he didn't have the confidence in his freehand work to carry on doing it than by the fact that this one piece has gone.
I'd be very, very surprised indeed if it could be restored. If it can, then there's tons of Bristol that's a time capsule of Banksy work waiting to be uncovered.

They have owned it for years, they marketed it as a Banksy mural with a free house.....imo this is a bit cheeky what there doing now, certainly not gonna do them any favours.
