Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by stickitup on Mar 30, 2008 20:57:01 GMT 1, cool, cheers everyone, yes i got the edition wrong, it was of 600 and it comes with pow provenance. yes i do like it and its not for the soul purpose of selling on, its more an investment which i will proudly hang on my wall and when i am gone my kids get to decide what they will do with it ;o) unfortunately my friend can't be beaten down on price as he's letting me have it for the price he got it for. so i say fair enough.

Banksy โข Weston Super Mare Print, by stickitup on Jun 25, 2007 15:11:25 GMT 1, yes but the whole thing about warhols was that he wanted to produce art off a production line - hence his work studio being called the factory. most of the signatures were not done by warhol himself and many were stamped onto the work. jeffrey archer commisioned a load and then threw them away, theres a gallery which sells those ones at brandler gallery (think that was where it was) ask the guy there about it and he will tell you the story. signed warhols are in fact worth little more than an unsigned as it is very difficult to prove it was signed by the artist himself

Banksy โข Andipa Gallery, by stickitup on Mar 20, 2008 14:24:05 GMT 1, yes i agree his new prints are accessing that, however the stencils, for me, show integrity and conviction towards his craft not the prints or the canvases, which to be honest work far less than the street works which seem to access a purity lost by an art gallery jumping on the latest fad

Banksy โข Andipa Gallery, by stickitup on Mar 20, 2008 14:16:26 GMT 1, kurnelkurtz, blacksy and cocteau101 all know what i am talking about. perhaps the most interesting thing here to note is that some of us feel a little like his work is becoming kitsch, he is almost becoming so well known when he does another stencil of a rat it has sadly lost its rawness and ability to give us that chuckle as we used to walk past it.

Banksy โข Andipa Gallery, by stickitup on Mar 19, 2008 18:39:32 GMT 1, i'd do a fair bit for charity if i had money enough to spend ยฃ20,000 on a statue i was going to leave in the street. his popularity since saachi got hold of some of his works did launch him into the suddenly unafordable - in fiact you could argue out of reach of the people he was trying to access with the genuine work he left on the street.

Banksy โข Andipa Gallery, by stickitup on Mar 19, 2008 15:56:45 GMT 1, yes fully aware the show was put together by the gallery and had no input from banksy in terms of pieces submitted or any kind of curation apart from the fact he was the artist who had made the work. thanks saltandiron - someone with a realistic view of the show. yes banksy has no control of the spiralling selling price, however he does have the ability to devalue works by releasing massive editions, i mean i have often wondered how the price of his work would fall and be overtaken by its artistic value if forinstance he was busted as a pedo. glad to hear banksy will be putting a lot back into charity work, so essentially he wants to make a lot of money?

Banksy โข Andipa Gallery, by stickitup on Mar 19, 2008 15:13:15 GMT 1, yes andipa acknowledgeable. banksy is of course good in some of the pieces he does but these pieces in the gallery were a bit crap, of course i know this is my opinion, but we all have opinions and if you take a step back from the fact it was banksy, i am sure you could see what i am saying, the prices being charged there did not reflect the artistic merit. OK so if you disagree with me, why is Banky's work not crap. not an easy question to answer intelligently. why bring it up?because this is a forum and some people might find it interesting that not everyone has their nose up Banky's bum. not aiming that at everyone on here but a lot of people do seem to have their opinions coated in a layer of sugar when it comes to banksy, or have i just made that up? has anyone else read the article i am talking about?

Banksy โข Andipa Gallery, by stickitup on Mar 19, 2008 14:41:23 GMT 1, Now I like some of Banky's work as much as the rest of you, however having gone to this show yesterday and seen the collection they had amassed it left me very underwhelmed. The imagery was on the whole pretty average, the application of the paint to the canvasses can only be described as amateur and the prices were ridiculous. To top it off the gent sat behind his desk was prattling on about on about graffiti like he had been into it from the start and understood it innately. Am I the only one to notice all these thoroughly disappointing facts or is everyone blinded by Banksy even when he crates something piss poor? And the rat stencil on the outside of the gallery just made me want to come back at night and tag the building....Please tell me I am not the only person who feels this way. Whats worth tracking down is a text which quotes Banksy before his rise where he openly speaks of how he hates the art world and everything about it (think the piece was called something like metaphysical graffiti was written about 6 years ago)....Then we see his 'art' being placed in Saachis collection and people suddenly finding graffiti is the in thing (oh but not the tagging just the pretty pictures). Sorry to rant here but for all you lot who think Banksy has a sun shining out of his bum, take a look at what he has said in the article, surely you must all think he is the biggest hypocrite with a statement like that. Of course I don't condemn him for making money from something he does, but I also heard him say he was uncomfortable with the amount of money he has, well reduce the price of the prints and make sure theres enough for everyone....and before you question I do own a few so I've not got sour grapes for not owning one
