Cheapest Banksy print? (W/coa), by spirit on Jan 4, 2021 1:56:44 GMT 1, I've been away from all things Banksy for about 9 months and it looks like print prices have increased by something ridiculous like 300-400%. Last time I looked, an unsigned Trolleys was about 13-14k
Can anyone briefly explain what happened please?

[SOLD] Hush Mini Print 2013, by spirit on Mar 1, 2019 11:52:43 GMT 1, Mutatis - thanks for the info on the print name etc. I didn't realise it was hand-finished either.
The print size is 18 x 22 cm.
I've had a few offers so if there is any further interest would it probably be a good idea to get in touch sooner rather than later. thanks.

SOLD!!, by spirit on Aug 10, 2017 17:41:03 GMT 1, I think you're right with your numbers however I have yet to see the person here say they PAID 10k for a silver. Lots of people saying they sold, or say "best piece, easily 10k" in a price check thread, but for a board with a lot of invader fans, I haven't heard anyone say they paid that much. Maybe a gallery sold one at the height of the hype at that price, but it's hard to believe what they've been saying as well. It seems this last 20percent spike (aka what the galleries need for their margins) is all talk. And someone here tried to sell it for double digits and then quietly went to expressobeans And it still appears to be there. In fact someone here bought the VIP version of 7 for 9.5 or 9k. That's the only concrete evidence I've seen and I think the VIP is worth 1/3 rd more than the regular silver at least . It's a special piece. So is the regular silver,don't get me wrong. Somoenone else tried to sell a white for like 5 or 6 and struggled, they had to sell it to hang up. Unless you find find someone with more money than brains 40 isn't happening. 30 would be a great get. But potential buyers should beware looking at a "private" floor bid at 25k that appears 2 days before a 10 day auction ends.
Spot on.
I should have been clearer I was talking about asking prices (which everyone can see) rather than actual selling prices (which no one knows for sure most of the time). The prices the OP was quoting seemed to be significantly above anything I had even seen asked.

SOLD!!, by spirit on Aug 10, 2017 17:03:07 GMT 1, Thank you to those that have sent me PM's offering to buy these, although some of you are clearly smoking the funny stuff. From what I have seen by other member selling from this series on here, the Silver goes for around ยฃ12k and other colours at ยฃ8k-ยฃ9k each.
I'm not sure where you were getting your figures from but not sure a silver has ever "gone" for 12k. From what I was seeing, at the very height of the bubble silver was around 10k, red 8k and the other two 6-7k
So maybe 30k + whatever someone could be convinced to pay extra for matching numbers.
Since the recent release (and maybe a little before) prices have certainly stopped rising and potentially are falling due to more supply than demand.
They are a very nice set and I wish you GLWS, but don't think people must be smoking the funny stuff just because they are not offering you 40k+. As dexter suggested earlier in the thread, it's more likely you were on the funny stuff when you thought you'd get ยฃ50k for them.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by spirit on Aug 2, 2017 15:50:53 GMT 1, The supposed advantage of dealing with a gallery is that compared to some regular folk who might mess you around or go silent after making offers etc, is that you get a professional, straight-forward and quick deal.
The accepted downside is that you might get a bit less than from a private buyer as the gallery needs to make their cut.
Galleries should be very careful about holding onto that reputation - it is their USP. If a gallery agrees a deal then tries to change it when collecting, they actually do damage to the reputation of not only their gallery, but galleries in general, once people start thinking they are as likely to get messed about by a gallery as anyone else.

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by spirit on Aug 2, 2017 11:59:34 GMT 1, No one knows for sure whether Invader prices are in a bubble which will burst sometime soon or whether we are witnessing a long awaited correction that is not only sustainable and but has further to go.
What we do know for sure is that the current prices are tempting many people who bought Invader at source to sell while the going is good. There is therefore significant supply - whether old classics, latest releases or anything in between. Whether there is the demand to soak up all this supply at these prices remains to be seen..but I suspect there are less willing buyers at these prices than there are sellers.

$5000 Miller "Wherever you are, whatever you're doing", by spirit on Jul 26, 2017 22:48:07 GMT 1, I think this has some way to go before being a contender for the worst sales thread ever (it's competing with the LIITA and "Banksy" signed book threads remember - stiff competition). However, it definitely shows some potential and we'll have to see how it pans out.

Jasper Johns ๐บ๐ธ Painter โข Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism , by spirit on Jul 26, 2017 10:03:38 GMT 1, I respectfully disagree. I havent looked into the law at all, but you are conveniently ignoring the purpose of the customs regulations. the regulatory framework behind discounted tariffs for original works of fine art has not changed with technology. Technology has nothing to do with it. Original pieces of fine art are assumed to be valuable and rare . Lower tariffs are meant to increase/reduce the restraint on international transactions when it is consistent with public policy. Even if it is a nice print, "artisanal quality" doesnt define fine art. if it is mass produced and sold in large quantities, it's not fine art. The only debate is what constitutes "large quantities" Hmmm, well, it's difficult to ignore the significance of technology when the regulations themselves specifically identify works produced using certain technologies - in this case, 'photomechanical processes' - as not qualifying for the discounted rate. As others have pointed out, the later offset lithographs of Jasper Johns and many other artists (Dine, Rauschenberg...) are both valuable and rare, to use your terminology, yet would not qualify for the lower rate under the regulations as currently framed. You talk about mass production and high-volume sales, but that seems like speculation on your part - the regulations say nothing explicit about them - on the contrary, from what I've read they appear to simply assume that 'mass-production' works can be isolated by attempting to specify the category of technology used to produce them. The whole point is that this is inadequate to the reality. It takes no account of other possible uses of such technology. Nowhere that I've found do the regulations say anything about quantity or value. In fact, bizarrely, a low-value open edition offset lithograph whose plates were entirely hand-painted by the artist would appear to qualify for the discounted rate, while an edition of one worth millions of pounds would not, if the plates were produced photographically - a complete inversion of the purpose you're proposing. Some of the Telamon edition Johns prints were produced at the rate of four a day, according to Bill Goldston. While I accept that quantity has to be a relevant aspect of the discussion, by any standards it's hard to argue that four per day constitutes 'large quantities' or 'mass production'. The point is that NO offset lithograph or screen print whose plates or screen were produced by a photographic method would qualify for the reduced rate - not even an edition of one worth millions of pounds - and that surely can't be the intent. It's the regulations, not me, which make a big deal of technology. There are a lot of arguments on this forum.
Rarely are they as intelligent and rational as this one.
A joy to read.

There is no "mob". It's just the way honest individuals react to that kind of dishonest behaviour.

Thread started with people telling OP he would be better off getting a COA - that covered first 2 pages or so. Then his statement of having a COA was called into question (rightly so as he didn't have it then) Then he got busted by Dappy as Frisky and the guy from the book thread. AFAIA no-one ever claimed the print was fake, or that the redacted COA was even fake. What they claimed was that a picture of a printout of a COA was not adequate proof - which was true. Claiming you can only sell with a PC COA and harping on it for 2 pages is basically the same as saying his print is fake until proven otherwise... Again not true. The point being made was that you are not likely to get the best/full price without a COA - which is true.

Jasper Johns ๐บ๐ธ Painter โข Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism , by spirit on Jul 25, 2017 11:53:12 GMT 1, You stated that, other than the facsimile disclaimer, the only differences between the original Jasper Johns print editions and the facsimiles are (i) the sizes, and (ii) the facsimiles not being signed and numbered. My point was this is incorrect. It's misleading through omission. From your follow-up post, I get the impression you've been sidetracked by poor drafting on the ULAE website. Leaving aside the Telamon Editions logo, the critical divide is printmaking technique. As emphasised by Pattycakes early on in this thread, the original prints are lithographs, whereas the facsimiles are offset lithographs. There's no real comparison between lithography and offset lithography. One is an artisanal process, creating new imagery. The other is photomechanical, most often with a view to reproducing previously-existing imagery (in this case, the original prints from the early 1960s). [If the distinction between the two isn't clear, we're talking about disparity in labour-intensity, time required, skill set and experience needed, and requisite involvement of the artist. This includes taking into account the fact that lithographic prints (contrary to offset lithographs) will be mirror images of the artwork produced on the stone or plate. And so, with lithography, the artist also needs to think in terms of image reversal while drawing or painting.]This is exactly what I'm talking about. Here's what you are omitting. The fact that jasper johns the creator of these images demanded to go visit this specific machine and then continue to use it for his images and his 'official' art. You are right the process is different. But it's still a process the original artisan utilized, enjoyed and approved. A bunch of 'art collectors/investors' trying to discredit the process of making the art means nothing. Why? Because the actual artist/ artisan / one of greatest artists of past 100 years celebrated that process and used it for his 'official' art... Exactly. I think you are both right.
The print process used for originals these were based on (lithography) and the process used for the facsimiles (offset lithography) was different.
However, as discussed in one of the videos posted previously, artists generally embraced the introduction of offset lithography as it meant they did not have to draw everything backwards/in a mirror which as you can imagine was a huge PITA.
So although John's used lithography for the originals of these facsimiles, originals he produced after this time were produced using offset lithography.
You stated that, other than the facsimile disclaimer, the only differences between the original Jasper Johns print editions and the facsimiles are (i) the sizes, and (ii) the facsimiles not being signed and numbered. My point was this is incorrect. It's misleading through omission. From your follow-up post, I get the impression you've been sidetracked by poor drafting on the ULAE website. Leaving aside the Telamon Editions logo, the critical divide is printmaking technique. As emphasised by Pattycakes early on in this thread, the original prints are lithographs, whereas the facsimiles are offset lithographs. There's no real comparison between lithography and offset lithography. One is an artisanal process, creating new imagery. The other is photomechanical, most often with a view to reproducing previously-existing imagery (in this case, the original prints from the early 1960s). [If the distinction between the two isn't clear, we're talking about disparity in labour-intensity, time required, skill set and experience needed, and requisite involvement of the artist. This includes taking into account the fact that lithographic prints (contrary to offset lithographs) will be mirror images of the artwork produced on the stone or plate.
