Advice for selling my Banksy prints, by damo on Mar 22, 2021 13:33:12 GMT 1, Without taking this too far down a dull financial cul-de-sac.. there is a fair argument that high inflation will be a big consequence of the global financial reaction to Covid. And high inflation is a killer for anyone sat in cash. It also equates to higher interest rates so your mortgage becomes a far bigger burden. Most asset classes (stocks) perform badly during inflationary periods but there are exceptions in gold and tangible assets. Not least Investment grade art. And I think it is now a reasonable fact that Banksy qualifies in that class (as much as we would all like to dismiss the fact).
I sold mine years ago and it would be a great problem to have but my suggestion would be A) if you are wanting to sell now.. use the money to pay off cheap debt now, and B) don't assume the market for Banksy is just those interested in the artistic merit/message and will end when we go back to normal. It isn't and actually it could be further fuelled (if it isn't already) by a whole new wave of 'investors' looking for a home for their cash as the threat of inflation kicks up.
However, no one really knows anything when all is said and done. So the advice from others above is probably best - sell 1 and keep 2, and then review again in a year. No financial return can match having any of those three up on your walls/the ever nagging feeling of regret once they are gone!
Congrats though, you hopefully win with whatever path you follow.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by damo on Feb 11, 2021 13:52:59 GMT 1, Brilliant, congrats on that. I wasn't aware of that auction until it was too late unfortunately. There were some cracking 'gallery' signs from Take Hart that I would have been keen on as well. Hope you find a great way to share it.

Andrew Sharpley Invader, by damo on Feb 4, 2021 15:06:21 GMT 1, These have just popped back up as available btw.
Edit - gone back to sold out. Managed to get one though a few minutes ago so worth keeping an eye out. Possibility that some orders are being cancelled.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by damo on Feb 4, 2021 13:06:17 GMT 1, To get ahead of all the usual questions...
Some key points from their own site;
"Each mat is sequentially numbered and they are all individually handmade with slight human differences. The mats for sale did not start at '1'."
"Each mat comes with a Gross Domestic Product label but is not be eligible for a COA from Banksy. Some of the mats have the label hand stitched on the back and some have the label attached to the side."
"There are 500 mats per run. When we release a run we email 1000 people who have been on the waiting list the longest and also randomly select a number of people from the rest of the list. This group then has an opportunity to purchase mats until the run is sold out. We believe this is the fairest way to deal with the demand. The latest run, released in February 2021, offers people the chance to buy one mat only before they are sold out."
"It is not an โeditionโ as we can only make as many as we have the materials for, so at this time we cannot say that the product is limited or unlimited. They wonโt last forever but of course we want to make as many as we can as itโs employment for the refugee women."

New Release: Danny Minnick, by damo on Jan 8, 2021 9:14:42 GMT 1, He contacted me on Insta after I posted a photo of the Banksy at the Barbican asking if it was my own pic, which I confirmed. Next thing the post was removed. Seemed a bizarre/arrogant move to me. Must have been upset that Banksy was getting all the credit??

Nick Walker - Mona Simpson, by damo on Nov 26, 2020 15:33:04 GMT 1, Someone has reached out to me on Insta re buying my Mona Simpson. I am not looking to sell at the moment but offer seemed a fair (โฌ1000) valuation imo. If anyone has a copy they do want to sell.. PM me, potential buyer is happy for me to pass on details. Ive no other involvement in this.
Seems legit enquiry to me but I am only passing on the message, do your own research etc.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by damo on Nov 7, 2020 14:14:49 GMT 1, Has anyone any idea of the dimensions of the 'defeated' wall pieces; large, small, medium and mini? Also how small is the key fob? Missed out this week (too busy watching nothing happen on CNN!) and they didn't have anything in stock when I visited a few months after it opened.
Want to be sure of which to go for if they do come on again. Apologies if its already been detailed but can't see it anywhere. Ta.

Im giving up, life is too short.

Piccadilly (Circa Art), by damo on Sept 30, 2020 9:37:59 GMT 1, For anyone in London. Ai Weiwei kicking this off tomorrow night, Emin also in the line up but not sure on dates.
"CIRCA invites a different artist each month to present an original work which considers the world circa 2020. For two minutes each day (20:20 - 20:22 BST/GMT) the adverts on Piccadilly Lights will take a non-commercial break, transforming the 4K screen into a digital canvas."
They have posted a preview on Insta. It might have been a powerful message but, tbh, I couldn't really get past the soundtrack of the busker murdering Wonderwall in the background!

Stik Hackney Holding Hands Poster, by damo on Sept 24, 2020 18:25:22 GMT 1, Still need to flatten mine properly but thought it worth sharing in contrast to the book prints, its a different yellow for sure. The new one is just in a standard Neilsen frame. Only need him to do a fat miserable fella now, and then my whole family could be represented. Looks really good. Is the book print one an off the shelf frame? No I got that one done by a local framer as he had to do a little work on the crease as well.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by damo on Sept 22, 2020 12:06:03 GMT 1, I had exactly the same worry with ours a few years back which hung in the kids room until the value got too silly. Fortunately that came out perfect when i took it out of the frame myself, albeit yours is now worth a lot more so tread with real care. Key issue is probably more likely to be fading, dependent on how much sunlight it has gotten over the years, and the edge hidden under the frame.
I also replaced it with the WCP print which i picked up off someone on here, it makes for a nice reminder what was once mine! I have had a few regrets with the current prices but.. then i remember i bought something for ยฃ90, and sold it for ยฃ20k, which allowed the wife a year off working a crappy job to retrain as a teacher, which she now loves. So, all in all, still a great trade.
Nah just kidding, been crying myself to sleep all week ;-)

Eelus โAdriftโ this thursday, by damo on Jun 29, 2020 12:59:02 GMT 1, Isn't the bathroom a bad idea? Yeah, not the best place due to steam but this is why I framed it myself too because the print was ยฃ100, I don't expect it to last a lifetime in good quality. I just want to give people who visit our house a little giggle when the get into the bathroom. I sealed the back, about three times and also used a clear sticky back bit of plastic to cover the whole back too. But steam will still get through no doubt, probably from the front. Although the frame was 40x40, so it fits perfectly in there. I'll post a pic of it in a few months time and we can see how it's looking. How long did this last in the end GMA? Im looking to do something in my bathroom with a relatively cheap print and seal up the frame best I can but just intrigued as to whether it'll last months, years or literally just an hour or two!
