BANKSY CWSB EBAY - gone...., by Black Apple Art on Dec 29, 2017 6:37:54 GMT 1, One went for $56,250 earlier this month in the Forum Auction. IMO this was the king of sleeper prints for many many years and only in the last year or so is it catching up. One of my favs and will look stellar next to a grappling hook

Christies results , by Black Apple Art on Sept 20, 2017 22:06:26 GMT 1, Long overdue for a Tate retrospective exhibition if they can sort out their differences. No doubt would be their most successful show to date by a large margin. B still has their shop's top selling book and yet not a single mention or piece of work has ever been displayed (aside from the pieces B put up himself)

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Black Apple Art on Aug 20, 2017 2:06:37 GMT 1, I've officially screwed myself using museum plexi on all my B pieces which makes this look horrible in comparison. May have to switch but love this piece regardless.

Artists use of Social Media, by Black Apple Art on Aug 13, 2017 16:35:20 GMT 1, Banksy is on social media - Instagram - (managed by one of his team I assume) and is no doubt fully aware of how quickly the medium can spread word of new pieces etc very quickly. The Walled Off Hotel, for instance, was initially communicated through his Instagram then through the media later the same day. There's also a separate account for The Walled Off Hotel. I'm almost positive I've seen on his site before that he doesn't use social media. B's site used to say he "Banksy is NOT on social media" and was changed to " Banksy is NOT on facebook, or twitter" after he created his IG account exclusively for BOTI at first, and then continued to use it for subsequent outside works and projects.

Zedsy ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข New Print Release , by Black Apple Art on Jul 31, 2017 1:08:59 GMT 1, I really like Zedsys work and would be really interested to find out the story behind this piece.... Uber are hated in the UK and across most of the world, this is one company that needs 'pest control'...... Hated by unions and taxis that have been monopolizing the industry for decades and pretty much loved by everyone else, including me. What a phenominal service. Don't like them, don't use them.

Banksy Print, Canvas, WANTED, by Black Apple Art on Jul 6, 2017 18:03:17 GMT 1, Now there is a gesture. Well done Black Apple.
I have several (I assume to be real) but there all torn in half ....
Out of interest how do you tell the difference.
Well the originals were actually litho printed using plates and not photocopied or laser/ inkjet printed, so under a loop it is quite to easy to tell between the two by using the torn specimen from a COA as the positive. Mine were all obtained by Laz direct.

For Sale - John Doe Miss Universe Original , by Black Apple Art on Jun 30, 2017 21:59:41 GMT 1,
John Doe Title: Miss Universe (Iridescent) Year: 2014 Edition: Special 1/1 AP Size: 24โณ X 48โณ Medium: Spray paint and acrylic with special iridescent finishing on canvas Details: Signed by artist with COA - Framed in perfect condition.
Will throw in a Di-Face tenner to help ease shipping. 100% authentic with stellar provenance.
This is my personal piece and sadly due to wall space issues it has been in storage and deserves to be on a wall in a new home. We sold the standard versions back in 2014 for $4800. This is a 1/1 iridescent on canvas and framed. Offers around $5k, please PM. In the US but can ship pretty much anywhere insured. Rare I sell here but have numerous member referrals.
Thx

Sotheby's contemporary art day auction , by Black Apple Art on Jun 29, 2017 17:05:41 GMT 1, 105,000$ after all said and done. I may be in the minority, but I kind of like the roughness on this, and think its a pretty good deal for size and edition. The canvas is over 17 years old and in my mind was probably thrown around in the studio back in the day before being given away or sold on. Quite like the imagery as well. Classic Banksy. I like the image, I don't mind the scuffs on the pink. But all the cracking on the figures would bother me. I think its a fair price for the buyer and seller. And yes i'd take that over a print any day, the artist obviously spent some time on it. Well an hour or two. Saw it in person last week and was pretty much the worst condition original I have ever seen at auction.

, by Black Apple Art on Jun 13, 2017 17:30:39 GMT 1, Still no refund from them. The customer service is dire. I would be very careful about booking unless you are 100% confident you can go. I had to cancel my initial dates I booked and after sending the email to customer service it was canceled the very next day. Hopefully your issue gets resolved but doesn't seem like the norm.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Black Apple Art on Jun 12, 2017 22:52:19 GMT 1, Fantastic print and a prime example of why I always recommend having any framing mat raised up off of the print surface. I have yet to find any framer that does this without being instructed but due to seeing countless instances like this (this is a very minimal case) I started having all my matted prints framed using a secondary inset mat that raises the primary mat up off of the print surface a few mm. Of course using 99% UV glass/ plexi is also recommended, but given enough time that fraction of 1% can still leave damage from UV, mat pigment staining and / or leaving an impression of the contact area in the print. When the mat is lifted off the surface it lets the UV damage transition with a smooth almost undetectable gradient and eliminates pigment or impression damage. The worst cases are always with black mats that even when "archival" can still color the underlying print given enough time. Sorry to use a sales thread but thought it was a prime example and will benefit members and their art.

New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by Black Apple Art on Jun 11, 2017 22:23:38 GMT 1, So is everyone just going to ignore the failed attempt? Oh it's banksy it's okay! Haha IMO his goal was a call to action in the vote, not gifting prints. So I don't think it can be seen as a failure. I'd bet Most that would have voted his suggested way for a print probably did so without the reward as well.

lionel art gallery in amsterdam, by Black Apple Art on Jun 9, 2017 21:34:19 GMT 1, Anyone on here have ever deal with "lionel Gallery" in amsterdam? any feedback? thanks in advance Dealt with Lionel many times. He's straight up and reliable but they do tend to be at the upper end of pricing. That said, all pieces I've acquired through them have appreciated well beyond what I paid and the pieces were very hard to find. Hope that helps.
