Invader Artwork, VALUATION, by Matt on Feb 3, 2018 21:07:50 GMT 1, If the gallery bought at the peak last year they will likely not be open to negotiate...
Prints have gone down by at least 40% since last yearโs high. A silver space one would have traded for 13-15k at that time

Nick Walker Black Mona Simpson Edition of 70, by Matt on Feb 3, 2018 17:09:19 GMT 1, Yea, then you can go buy that one. Not in a rush to sell mine.
Thatโs good cause a terrible colorway of an extremely poor print by an all but forgotten artist ainโt gonna shift fast, and even not at all at that price.

Gonefellow ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by Matt on Feb 1, 2018 18:24:09 GMT 1, I know it's annoying when people ask to have art explained to them, but I have to admit I'm lost by this Boxhead print! What's it all about? Why would you want a picture of a forum member (or ex forum member), with a box on his head, framed and on your wall? Not all art has to be deep and meaningful, but this seems like quite a random image. Second that.
In fact, for starters I would really love to know why anyone wanted, let alone payed for, a drawing of LF flipping them the bird ?
And then, once that is elucidated, it would indeed be worthwhile to understand why someone might want a the boxed face shushing them ??
Makes no sense to me.

Invader โข Los Angeles LA Map, by Matt on Feb 1, 2018 18:13:15 GMT 1, Have no clue on the value of this item, but it seems like it would make sense to post "sold for" prices rather than "asking prices"....for obvious reasons
Folded LA maps on eBay sold between $79.99 and $119.99 (I am browsing the UK version of the bay so maybe missing some)
so nowhere near the 200ยฃ asking.
Make of that what you will.
I think it is a very cool piece

Best way to display kaws figures, by Matt on Jan 28, 2018 13:57:27 GMT 1, Hi guys Looking for some info - my fiancรฉ recently bought me a Kaws small lie figure and I'm looking for the best way to display it. I've seen a few pictures of people putting them in glass domes but there's far too many size variations out there to choose from. Can anyone help? EDIT: sorry should say UK based Thanks, K
Lisa Angel online store in the U.K. has some that fit perfectly (choose large) and several colors of bases to accommodate whichever color companion you got.
They are a tad pricy but often go on sale so worth keeping an eye out for a deal

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Matt on Jan 22, 2018 19:16:03 GMT 1, You need to stop buying fakes ? ๐ Seriously I see 0 difference in the print (mine is from week 3 of these being available), and the difference in the stone is a matter of taste, and the initial frame feels worse than the new. But hey good to know one of mine is worth a ton. Especially since that now that you say it I think Banksy was in the studio that day and he assembled mine himself ๐คฃ Week three is miles along, have you seen the first editions?
If I had said Friday of week 1 you would have said they commanded a premium until Thursday evening...so Iโm going to stop here.
Enjoy your premium first edition

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Matt on Jan 22, 2018 19:07:46 GMT 1, No, realistically they donโt. They came out earlier so prices were higher, simply because they were still scarce. It like saying the October ones command a premium on the November ones. I have both. The stone barely makes a difference except in colour, and I even happen to find the local made frames better quality than the ikea. They might command a premium for nutty collectors who want to own all versions, like certain people will pay more for a print of a certain number, but thatโs about it... Thats odd as ive held both side by side and there is a noticeable difference in quality, even of the print inside. the newer ones feel like christmas cracker gifts.

JR Favela & Ladj Braquage Screen Prints , by Matt on Jan 20, 2018 20:19:43 GMT 1, These are great ๐
The Ladj Ly is a stunner for those who arenโt bothered by a sig / number.
The Favela is a bit further off from the actual print given the paper and printing technique but still a great alternative to what is now a rare and expensive print

Eine Print, Canvas, WANTED, by Matt on Jan 19, 2018 23:32:39 GMT 1, Don't know how this came to be available, but will assume it is being salvaged rather than removed ?
In that case it needs bit of TLC, and possibly mounting on some kind of structure to hang / stand, but nothing impossible.
5K seems a good price.
But unless you can prepare it and display it I don't see the point in owning it really

The chap selling these has no real intention of selling I would say. His prices are approx 3x going rate and he isnโt accepting offers as far as I can see.
Have bought quite a few of these now from various sources, and would say this one is in the 700-800ยฃ range

Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Matt on Jan 18, 2018 20:36:31 GMT 1, Those exaggerated security checks in Tel Aviv are just a pain in the ass. But I never heard that they destroyed Wall Sections, I mean why should they?ย One time they asked some questions about the BS and the Walls, so I showed them the WOH Giftshop website, luckily the young lady I was talking to knew about Banksy and the hotel, so overall it never was a problem. Heard from Alaa the taxi driver about one being destroyed, large 6 piece section with Palestinian flag on it apparently. That was one I was hoping to get but ended up passing on it after hearing his story
My understanding of this story (from Alaa) is that the chap in question was quite vocal and in your face about his holiday in โPalestineโ and things escalated a bit...

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by Matt on Jan 18, 2018 14:03:31 GMT 1, Anyone who says these are average is off their rocker You wouldn't be the first to point out I may well be off the colloquial rocker...
...but in this case I still think that whereas the sprayed and stencilled full images on the LPs were brilliant, these headshots look like average flyers and far from Insect's best
Anyways happy for those who have been longing for these "all those years" and for whom the hunt is finally over ! Must be such a relief

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by Matt on Jan 18, 2018 13:23:28 GMT 1, Much respect for Insect, but these are average at best
Not sure what the fuss is about, most of the stuff popping up lately is still on the shelf for a reason...
Would have been cool if POW had released the Sale Ends at the end of their final run, not the beginning, to go out with a BANG rather than a fizzle
I still love you POW though, but at the moment you are like that beloved child who shows you their drawing and it's a bit crap

Give you a good reason to inspect the frame job, and leaving the print on the mount / board you will not damage it

Banksy silver flag, by Matt on Jan 17, 2018 14:12:31 GMT 1, Have the feeling the only way to find a mint print is via a gallery ,I know you pay more but you have to pay a premium for quality service and piece of mind .
Would say the opposite : most Flags I have seen in galleries are utter shite, all have issues on front and/or back, and as has been said most are framed with galleries not giving a fukk about what is inside the frame.
In my experience the best flags are owned by individuals who bought early and framed to high standards immediately.
Same goes for DFaceโs Fools Gold (even harder to find than Flags in good condition, but of course demand is much lower as well)

Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Matt on Jan 14, 2018 11:37:15 GMT 1, I'm not sure I understand the rationale behind "proximity". How are banksy screen prints that were pulled by POW staff / Ben Eine any different to these Wall Pieces? Wouldn't POW staff also be considered "local help"? And you didn't even have to go to a specific Hotel in Palestine to buy one. I guess you could argue a signed print means he at least physically viewed and touched the piece he signed, so you move that further up on the spectrum? Does he see the Wall Pieces? If a PC COA were issued for the Wall Pieces would that change anything?
I try not to overthink things or indulge in hair splitting on Sundays ๐ค
Letโs say that in the context of the WOH gift shop i think we can draw a simple and innocuous parallel between a print of a banksy image and a reproduction of one on a small sculpture.
If anyone wants to draw any further conclusions from this statements I leave it to them

Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Matt on Jan 14, 2018 10:20:01 GMT 1, Of course they are not made by Banksy. As .dappy said it seems they are vetted before release (although some make you wonder)
One could say however that the pieces depicting a Banksy image (Balloon debate and the very elusive Cut it out) pretty much have the same level of โproximityโ to Banksy as a boxset (Banksy image, unlimited and unsigned, available only at the hotel, reproduced with local help)
