Igor Taritas, by Black Apple Art on Apr 5, 2017 20:35:13 GMT 1, Wow... what's the dimensions on that bad boy? 153x100. Big! Very nice. I'd think it would almost have a mirror type of effect and make a room look larger.

GWB ORIGINAL POW SCREENGRAB, by Black Apple Art on Apr 4, 2017 17:56:47 GMT 1, In 15 years many will wish they were collecting now. In 15 years they will probably be cheaper than they are now, you can purchase a signed Warhol for the same as a unsigned banksy.. surley that doesn't make sense ? Pointing out that there are signed Warhol's similar in price to unsigned Banksy prints as a statement is meaningless, since there are also some signed Warhols that are priced higher than some Banksy originals and vice versa. IMO the main relevant factor is that they are exponentially more Warhol works in existence today then are by Banksy. Warhol was cranking them out by the tens of thousands and the estate still has significant unreleased holdings. Warhol's works didn't really start their appreciation until he had passed so there is that also to take into consideration. All this aside, I think your theory is correct and anyone who would like me to take your B works off your hands now at a small discount to keep you from the inevitable decline to come, feel free to PM and I'll be happy to rescue you

For Sale - Banksy - Stop and Search (signed), by Black Apple Art on Mar 29, 2017 22:01:22 GMT 1, Jesus, when I joined the forum 2 years ago weren't these going for about 15k?! I've really climbed aboard the banksy train far too late Exponential increases in exposure and demand with each exhibition / event and no public releases in 7 years. Nothing has even come close to this in the art world or any other for that matter with a person with such notoriety, exposure and influence still alive. Uncharted waters.
That said; it's always a kick to browse the B release archives of members talking pricing and where things are going. Picking up signed BHs for ยฃ700 and CWSB for ยฃ1.5k ect ect. Great stuff.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Black Apple Art on Mar 22, 2017 2:31:26 GMT 1, I could be wrong, but I think the guy in the spotlight is playing a musical instrument. A trumpet, perhaps. Thanks for the clarification. I can't see that in the pic hence my request for a more forward pic . It's still not an artwork that speaks to me but that context makes it more interesting than it being just some guy pinned by cops which is how t appears on my phone screen. Yes, the figure is playing a saxophone and the title of the piece is "Hamelin".

Forum Auctions โข Banksy Marketplace ๐ฌ๐ง, by Black Apple Art on Mar 21, 2017 22:04:04 GMT 1, Very strong results. It's amazing how S&S has come from behind and now up where, IMO, it should be. I think CWSB is now the "S&S" and extremely undervalued. Would be nice to see one go at auction now.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel โ
โ
โ
, by Black Apple Art on Mar 18, 2017 3:17:03 GMT 1, I've never seen such an axe to grind towards Banksy. I'm thinking B definitely ran through Bella one drunken evening a while back and never called.
Bella Gladman
"latest evolution in a career of unsophisticated protest art, the tipping point where he jumped the shark from aggressive mediocrity to ludicrous pompousness."
"Banksy's GCSE-level protest art was banal but tolerable"
"If he is trying to bring awareness to the conflict through this art, he has failed spectacularly"
"At worst it's an arrogant Brit drunk on the heady potion of faux-cool, thinking his hot takes on politics eg. "war bad, peace good" might alleviate the world's most intractable conflict."
"His entire career has been made on his hack tactic of mashing together, the images he produces ultimately meaningless through the lack of ideological weight"

Banksy Books โข Existencilism, Cut it Out, Banging Your Head, by Black Apple Art on Mar 14, 2017 0:09:14 GMT 1,
I can never express enough how brilliant this set of 3 mini books are. They truly give a massive amount of insight to Banksy's works, thoughts & views as well as a great amount of twisted humor that he serves up so well. For those who have not been lucky enough to get a set, legit or not, I always thought it would be fantastic to have them all in PDF and was actually going to undertake this myself but found someone else already has. Have not seen it posted before so wanted to share it here. Great to download and read at your leisure.
Note: The link will bring up the first volume and you should see the other two on your right. They do ask you to "sign up" to download but it is completely free. I did it and have not received any spam since so it's all clear.
Terrific reading...Enjoy!

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Black Apple Art on Mar 9, 2017 21:20:09 GMT 1, I know it's a minor thing, but it's kinda grinding my gears that, of the Walled Off threads currently on the go, it's the shop one that's getting the most chatter. Mostly off-topic, but it makes it look like the shop thread is the most popular.
God, I'm so sensitive. No no, we could talk about what makes a perfect falafel โก Crunchy shell, soft on the inside and not over seasoned.

, by Black Apple Art on Mar 8, 2017 1:45:28 GMT 1, You've got more chance of coming out of here alive than you have Brighton on a Saturday night. I must admit though it's all very quiet here. There doesn't seem to be many talking about if/when they are going. Maybe they are all holding out until they've read the TripAdvisor reviews. I'm sure it's safe if one goes as a tourist. Also considering the amount of secret police or whatever they are called in that part of the world from both governments, keeping their eyes on the goings on and people who come and go. Actually read in several papers that the area of the Hotel is actually protected and secured by the Israeli soldier overwatch and what makes the area secure. A little ironic.

Guard with Balloon Dog [Toronto, Canada], by Black Apple Art on Mar 7, 2017 22:02:18 GMT 1,
Pretty decent documentary on it here. They definitely spent huge $ doing this and ultimately the building was being destroyed and was not for sale afterwards so don't see the harm here at all.

Banksy Christ With Shopping Print, by Black Apple Art on Mar 2, 2017 22:39:14 GMT 1, It was also the inspiration for this more subdued effort. Also very nice. I just like the ornate style and how it just amplifies the religious commercialism message IMO. Will definitely post. Aza may I ask where you sourced your frame? Found a few similar in the states but like yours better.
