Your home is on fire - what print do you grab?, by Octopus UK on Apr 10, 2007 14:47:24 GMT 1, Many people on this forum have an impressive and extensive print collection but, along the lines of "Desert Island Discs", if your home was on fire, what print would you rush to save? Doesn't have to be a Banksy piece.
I don't own a Banksy of any description so my avatar largely gives away my choice. It's a geometric abstract work by Eduardo Paolozzi, listed at the Tate Modern site.

I'm lucky to own an artist's proof version of this work (from an edition of 300) so I get to see it every day, and it's near the door!

Your home is on fire - what print do you grab?, by beejoir1 on Apr 10, 2007 14:54:27 GMT 1, I thought about this yesterday, just after my girlfriend caught part of the kitchen on fire.... ****Signed BME/WSM on the wall behind the fire a wooden wall at that*****
But saying that, I'd take the print of least $ value, one done by a friend of mine of said girl who caught the kitchen on fire!!!!

gentรacardi on Apr 10, 2007 17:39:59 GMT 1, I actually bought a fire extinguisher out of paranoia!
But if I didn't have it, I would probably grab my Have a Nice Day on one hand and Bomb Hugger on the other.
Ugh, what a horrible scenario!!

Artwork wise, my original (unpasted) Michael deFeo (the flower guy) :
Easier to grab at the moment as it's not framed yet!
