Banksy • Soup Cans Poster, by Gunny on Apr 19, 2024 13:52:58 GMT 1, My understanding is that in 2017 POW ran a warehouse clearance before shutting down. They sold whatever was lying around, I don't think they printed a new version. This is correct - the 2006 and 2017 items are exactly the same. They were all printed back in 2006

WANTED • What Art are you Searching for?, by Gunny on Apr 18, 2024 11:00:02 GMT 1, Looking for Banksy Walled Off Hotel, Wall pieces. I collect them so they would be going to a good home.
I would pay around £350 - £600 for a 5 piece for example (depends on which one). So based on that let me know if you have something to sell.
I could also do some swaps, so let me know what you hve and what you might be looking for. I can do a swap for a few wall pieces for something more expensive, I have stuff to swap like Javier Calleja 'First look' or a Damien Hirst Land and Sea Large dibond, Suanjaya Kencut Positioning Sculpture and other bits - I would swap for cost for me and cost for you. Seems fair in a crappy market.

Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults TODAY, by Gunny on Apr 18, 2024 10:53:23 GMT 1, You should be an art critic! But aren't we all art critics? To the extent anyone here isn't, I would suggest they're either not thinking enough, or they're in the wrong place. I was being kind - i always enjoy what you write and think you write very well - well thought out.

Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults TODAY, by Gunny on Apr 18, 2024 10:15:19 GMT 1, Always felt like GP vault sales were part of the reason that their artists never were able to get representation outside of this gallery. First of all, cheers for the assist. Your reference to "part of the reason", for the limited representation beyond Graffiti Prints, may indeed be correct. Artists can become tainted by the reputations of their dealers, especially if the latter indulge in selling tactics that are widely seen to be deceptive, shady or grabby. At the same time, I would suggest the primary cause for this limited representation is simply down to the low calibre of most of the artists themselves. Martin Whatson, for example, would be mediocrity personified: Technically unskilled, vapid, derivative. His middle-of-the-road work hanging on the wall of a collector's home is the art equivalent of listening to Africa by Toto. On repeat. Every. Single. Day. You should be an art critic!

Grappling Hook £75k?, by Gunny on Apr 17, 2024 18:52:49 GMT 1, Grappling Hook sold today at ArtCurial for 92k euro hammer - so prob about 125k euro all in, so about £100k.
In a really shite market all round and for Banksy also, not a bad result, considering the market is at the bottom!

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by Gunny on Apr 15, 2024 12:15:30 GMT 1, The thing i don't like is all the odd edition numbers in timed editions. Why not round it up to an edition of 2000 - sounds a lot better. they could keep the odd ones back to sell later or to long standing customers who missed the timed and fancied it later on.

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by Gunny on Apr 15, 2024 12:12:44 GMT 1, Think for the price it is a great buy and a lot less than expected. I bought a framed one in natural wood for the wall, shipping was only £36 for the framed which i think is more than reasonable.

RIP Michel Cohen aka collection_montparnasse, by Gunny on Jan 31, 2024 18:46:03 GMT 1, His family will own it! Stupid bloody comment , the guy has just passed away! Who cares about materialistic shit like art at this time. im sure his family have a passion for art and will continue to collect but its hardly a priority for them now 🤦🏼♂️ No need to attack the poor guy/girl like that - just a general comment. Some people like to leave art to institutions etc, so it was likely not a disrespectful comment.

Goin 🇨🇵 Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by Gunny on Jan 29, 2024 12:09:27 GMT 1, Is there any significance to the 1 in the 901 Euro cost? Just seems an odd number to settle on for a price. Edit: Personally I would've gone with 899 Euro, make it look like the buyers are getting a bargain. 899.99 would be better.

Your best 2023 buy!!, by Gunny on Jan 25, 2024 0:17:06 GMT 1, Fairly quiet year last year purchase wise. My favourite acquisition from last year was this painting by Barry McGee from a group show in LA. It only arrived in January 2024 and I have paired it with a kinetic sculpture by Barry that I bought back in 2020. It was from his retrospective that travelled from Berkeley Museum of Art to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston etc. Excuse the blotchy walls as I am in the middle of decorating. Great pick up Neil…that animated sculpture is just mental and the new piece completes the presentation perfectly! Different league! Brilliant.

Damien Hirst Secret Garden Painting Print release, by Gunny on Jan 11, 2024 17:28:39 GMT 1, I'm tired of his shit. So I didn't check out when given the opportunity to buy a Blossoms canvas. They will struggle to sell these and the last releases. Canvas or strategically and deliberately created works on paper that were stuck down to look like canvases? Print market is going to pot - truly number 2!

Banksy Stop and Search, HC (Unsigned), by Gunny on Jan 7, 2024 20:10:26 GMT 1, I think that you will find that SAS are ALL signed .. there are no unsigned ! That's why there is a comma before asking for an unsigned Happy Choppers.

New HMRC rules for bedroom dealers, by Gunny on Jan 6, 2024 19:00:57 GMT 1, In fairness who really cares if they inform HMRC, just submit a tax return and keep records of all your costs, I've had to do it for the last 13 years. In reality you could sell £50,000 on ebay but if you only make a gain of say £6,000 on the sale between you and your Mrs you won't even have to pay any tax assuming it's your only gain. If you're trading you probably want to incorporate your sales anyway in which case this won't apply as you'll be on a corporate account. All my companies run quickbooks so my entire bank feed goes straight into my VAT returns and end of year accounts. As much as I think HMRC are c**t, it's actually not that difficult to keep your affairs in order with a bit of tech and good systems. Quickbooks don't have software for the margin scheme or am i wrong?
