Paco Pomet 🇪🇸 Granada, Spain • New Paintings , by kwatis on Jan 31, 2022 17:09:49 GMT 1, I agree regarding UPS and the damages/issues they have caused me both domestically (US based) and internationally. I stay clear of them every chance I can.

Paco Pomet 🇪🇸 Granada, Spain • New Paintings , by kwatis on Jan 31, 2022 16:50:08 GMT 1, I think one of the reasons for the shipping cost is that they aren't just shipping flat, but in a box. The added dimensions of the box would no doubt increase the cost. But why do they need to ship in a box? Additionally the depth of the box shown in posts is pretty deep for one print, let alone ordering a complete set. I wonder if the box will be filled with something to prevent the print(s) held in the box from flopping around inside of it while in transit. Fully protected with a foam bottom. No movement at all. Awesome attention to detail Stowe Gallery and thank you for the clarification!

Greenpeace postcard , by kwatis on Jan 30, 2022 17:37:14 GMT 1, Yes the postcard is probably the rarest from the set. I'd say the stencil is way rarer.... don't find them about. I think that the stencil and the DIY pamphlet would be the rarest. Hardly see them come up individually or as a complete set. Aside from Laz Emporium having a full set, I think I've seen one on eBay. Have a couple full sets myself and will echo what other's have said: wouldn't part with them.

Banksy dismaland $1 note, by kwatis on Jan 28, 2022 20:58:34 GMT 1, Absolutely fake. And why would there be Dismaland/Banksy art on US currency when both the park/artist are British? That should have been the first clue, not to mention the dubious non Pest Control/Laz COA.

There is damaged...and then there is DAMAGED!, by kwatis on Jan 25, 2022 23:47:26 GMT 1, I never use this but think it is very appropriate in this instance…
OMFG
I particularly like that the first two pics are a mild entrance into the damage, followed by a pic of what it should look like (added salt to the wound). The fourth pic is the coup de grâce for the pain of any/all collectors; the value of one in good condition. Oooof that’s gotta hurt.

Banksy™ Thrower print, Gross Domestic Product™, by kwatis on Jan 25, 2022 16:02:29 GMT 1, jB out of the two options (GWB or Flower Thrower Triptych) I’d pick the triptych to display.

Help Requested: Removing Smudge/ Blemish from Art Print, by kwatis on Jan 23, 2022 18:58:30 GMT 1, A gum eraser should do the trick. Make sure that there’s a fresh surface on the eraser so that no transfer from eraser to paper occurs. And that’s only if it’s in an unprinted section. If the smudge is on ink, better to let a trained prof conservator handle it.

Market for banksy postcards?, by kwatis on Jan 22, 2022 17:05:46 GMT 1, Receipts when purchased from the original source, any original packaging, photographic documentation, and/or a brief history of how you optioned them. Regardless, all of these can be fabricated. Tons of fakes out there and people flogging them to try and make some dough. Given that anything Banksy related tends to be in demand or have interest, the forum can be helpful when trying to help people spot fakes or stay away from dodgy sellers. Authenticating ephemera is a hot topic on here and rather than asking questions that have more than likely already been asked/answered, the thread search should be your first step. See if there are threads that already address the same questions you might have. Step two, check the date of the threads post. If it’s old, it might be out dated. Final step would be then setting up your own thread if searching didn’t turn up anything.

Market for banksy postcards?, by kwatis on Jan 22, 2022 16:27:46 GMT 1, You might consider setting up an account with Expressobeans. While predominantly a gig poster site, it is pretty thorough for artists, including Banksy. What I appreciate about EB is that it tracks recent pricing and valuation of the pieces in its archives. While not always the most accurate (most pricing is sourced thru private sales thru EB or public sales via eBay with occasional auction results also available), they would give you a starting point.

Banksy • Monkey Parliament Poster, by kwatis on Jan 21, 2022 17:00:04 GMT 1, lobio maybe clarify what poster you're discussing a bit more as I think you're wanting to discuss the Bristol Museum poster, but you're using the title of a different piece.
Monkey Parliament was a poster released in 2009 during his Banksy v. Bristol Museum Show. This was a true poster and authorized by Banksy and the Bristol Museum and featured the image of his original painting.
Devolved Parliament is the reworking of the original Monkey Parliament. This fold-out poster was featured in a Sotheby's Contempoary Art auction catalogue from 2019. The main difference between this image on the original, was that the lights in Parliament were painted out and a banana held by a chimp in the right/middle foreground was changed.

Pearly Gates, by kwatis on Jan 16, 2022 17:28:21 GMT 1, 1nkling I think that they reopened in limited capacity for staying guests this past December. I vaguely remember seeing something either on here or IG that said something along those lines.
Whether or not that means the gift shop is open and/or restocked is another question.
@teacherabc I look forward to seeing what their response is. I too love this image and would be excited if there was indeed a poster of it. I have one of the postcards, which is lovely, but small.

Restock: Futura Characterization poster , by kwatis on Dec 28, 2021 17:17:43 GMT 1, Just to be clear, its not "just a poster." It is a screen print and definitely a good image. I did purchase one and am quite happy with it, even tho it isn't signed or numbered.

Kaws Paper Smile. Damaged, help. , by kwatis on Dec 23, 2021 23:04:19 GMT 1, Here’s my two cents: File a claim with both DHL and Phillips. Find a local restoration place and research how much it’ll take to restore it and then make sure that one or both parties will cover the costs. It won’t be easy but it’s win/win for all involved.

Also would like to say I greatly appreciate your postings and use of the scientific method when presenting your case. You’re an immense asset to people on this forum whether anyone says it or not.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by kwatis on Dec 5, 2021 1:20:05 GMT 1, mikegood it’s been like that for about a month now. Randomly visited in late Oct or early Nov to discover things could be carted. At check out I filled everything out only to see at the very bottom a message saying they can’t ship to me (in the US).

BEWARE HEITAGE AUCTION, by kwatis on Nov 24, 2021 20:20:08 GMT 1, Ooof I’d say that’s pretty banged up. While it is unfortunate and certainly I’d take issue with the condition as well as the listed condition, I will say that a conservator should be able to restore it.

Beautiful Losers Lithograph Jonathan Levine, by kwatis on Nov 23, 2021 22:06:56 GMT 1, No end to this “archive” release. One reason I have a disdain for giclee & digital “control p” editions. And correct me if I’m wrong, but does the release price continue to go up each time?
