Banksy Vs. other artists popularity, by Moron on Jun 4, 2008 10:23:23 GMT 1, Hey chaps,
I was wondering about how Banksy's prints and work going through the roof over the years. Do you think the same will happen to the current urban art artists on the scene at the moment. I mean will we ever see an upturn in prices with artists such as:
Miss Bugs
Grafter
L.E.T.
Dolk
SPQR
etc...
I am not talking about the current fav's like Walker/Faile etc
Back in the day we saw Banksy early work going for ยฃ50 (?) etc. Other factors worth mentioning are the saturation of artists out there?
I ask this because lets face it their are certain prints out there that we purchase for investment to fund the prints/artists that we love to have on our wall.
If so which artists do you think this may happen to?
Comments?

I don't. I leave prints I don't want for people who want them on their walls....

I should add. In the future I might sell a print to make room for others, but IMO you are on a hiding to nothing trying to predect future trends and better off just saving your money.

IE - there has been a huge explosion in stencil work as a direct result of Banksy. Whilst Banksy explains that he uses stencil's due to speed and convenience it is what he stencils that is the underlying strength of his work, and not the medium that is important.
As always - Buy what you like

The above however is all dependent on the particular artist, the quality of the print, the image and what is the current flavour of the month to name a few!
