Why do Artists want to increase the values of their Art?, by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 29, 2019 16:54:00 GMT 1, I think people are always going to be interested in original art and small print editions. Imagine Ban ksys print releases were limited editions of 10, do you think he would be famous now? I don’t think so.
You really think previous print releases are the main reason Banksy is now famous?

Best books, docs and Essays on the history and emergency of , by Peter Bengtsen on Jun 30, 2019 9:10:44 GMT 1,
Hi Coach , mrred11 , pellets and everyone, Thanks for recommending my books, Coach . To make life easier for myself, I've set up an online shop where both books can be purchased (signed versions are available at no extra cost, just choose from the drop-down menu). I am currently working on new material (more focused on graffiti than street art), but have no clear idea when or in what format(s) it will be published. However, I will present some preliminary findings - in the form of a 26-minute video - next week at Lisbon Street Art & Urban Creativity Conference.

Pejac mini print from lotto SOLD , by Peter Bengtsen on Jan 27, 2019 12:02:23 GMT 1, Did you not state the number of prints made is a "rather absolute" fact?
Did you not then come up with a "rather absolute" number based on estimates and guesses?
For someone who writes books you read rather poorly. There are x amount printed. We can ask Max - then we know. If he answers that is. My point is : Any opinion is irrelevant. The amount is x. I can however make an estimate. Which is a fancy word for guessing. Off course my estimate is an absolute number. But clearly marked as a guess - not a fact. It would be rather pointless to answer Hellfo with "quite a lot" or "more then 600".
Fair enough.
I suppose I was (and still am) confused by your use of the phrasing "a rather absolute fact".
Did you mean that it is "rather an absolute fact"?

Pejac mini print from lotto SOLD , by Peter Bengtsen on Jan 27, 2019 11:16:55 GMT 1, hellfo I don't have an opinion on that - it's a rather absolute fact. But there were 600 handed out in Paris at the show - each one numbered. Estimates are there were around 950 lottery tickets sold. So my guess would be they had 400 printed extra to send out later. So I'm guessing it would be a total of 1.000.

Graffiti Prints archive vaults open today, by Peter Bengtsen on Jan 6, 2019 16:11:41 GMT 1, Listen, I understand GP has its loyal followers and they can do no wrong in their eyes. As you can see from my original post, I have my own assumptions and issues with them all revolving around the AP and PP numbering situation plus a couple other stories I've heard When selling prints to a limited market, there should be a fixed number you're selling. Saying there are "10% APs and PPs" isn't a fixed number. How many aps and how many pps? That's my question and an answer I'm not getting from anyone. Other artists do sell aps and pps unnumbered as proven by a few posts but it's not many and from what I've seen, not sold during a public sale for market value. If GP wants to come In here and give us exact numbers, it would solve all of this. But he won't because to me he doesn't even know himself. This comment you just made is beyond wrong: "Saying there are "10% APs and PPs" isn't a fixed number. How many aps and how many pps? That's my question and an answer I'm not getting from anyone. Other artists do sell aps and pps unnumbered as proven by a few posts but it's not many and from what I've seen" For the love of God, did you not take grade 5 Math as a kid? 10% (of whatever the run is) is a fixed number!! So if the run is 175, you can count on up to 17.5 AP's and PP's. Get it? Maybe they print 5 PP's and 12 AP's. Every print run is different, so the number of AP's and PP's will change. They would naturally keep most for damage replacements etc, and then decide what to do with the rest. So in this case, they do a "vault" sale, and sell them. And yes, some printmakers # their AP's and PP's, but from what I've seen MOST actually don't! I have a ton of AP prints marked "AP" only. So GP isn't doing anything wrong here either (IMO). Maybe time to give it a rest fellas?!
Your hypothetical example is a good illustration of why percentages are not an accurate way of determining the number of AP and PP prints related to a regular print edition.
While 17.5 may be a number, it is not a whole number. In your example, it is therefore not clear whether 17 or 18 AP and PP prints would be made.

Will Banksy ever release a numbered edition again??, by Peter Bengtsen on Nov 15, 2018 12:28:09 GMT 1,
So he believes that he can dissuade people from removing and putting street artworks up for sale by putting money in the pockets of those who deal in such work. Am I reading that right?
