F/S Banksy Wall & Piece True First Edition BOOK & POSTCARDS, by trapnel1 on Mar 12, 2024 0:06:27 GMT 1, pjc - would love to know more information on above. Where is this information from? I am fortunate enough to have one of these very rare copies, but I do not know much about the original pressing / print run. I've got the second edition (not rare, piss easy to get, found it for ยฃ10 in charity shop) and they still have the white version of the cover. My paper back 2006 version has the darker cover, basically looks like the flower thrower postcard above with the accentuated pointing and greyer brick. Not trying to throw shade obvi this has no impact on the value of OPs book, I just think the print history is interesting so sharing. Incidentally I'd kill for those postcards. I've never seen / heard of a second edition hardcover with a dustwrapper, so interested to see that if you have one.
Most of the first editions (complete number line going down to 1) had no dustwrapper. First editions with dustwrapper are the ones a book collector would prefer. Cheapest online at the moment seems to be a rather tatty eBay copy at ยฃ500, with a few nice copies from book sellers significantly more expensive.
All the copies I have seen, the dustwrapper has been the same colour. I would like to see the two variants side by side to see the difference - but the seller seems to be describing what I would call a rare first state of the first edition.

L13 sales surprise bags , by trapnel1 on Mar 5, 2024 4:05:28 GMT 1, Sold out ! The power of the forum ? It did not move before. Thank you for those that tried and got one ( Trapnel1 ? USB ? Thanks for the like ) :-) Yes! I've bought quite a few things from them, especially Billy Childish. Not in London for the weekend sale though, and would have missed this. So thanks Lroy!

Daisy Parris Unique Prints , by trapnel1 on May 25, 2023 14:59:16 GMT 1, Donโt mind the style but itโs a depressing message to look at on the wall every day. Maybe Iโm misreading it. I interpreted it as a positive message.... maybe focussing on the "go"!
Most have sold now, which seems a pretty good outcome at this early stage.

WANTED โข What Art are you Searching for?, by trapnel1 on Mar 27, 2023 20:40:02 GMT 1, Looking for Pure Evil - Arthur Millerโs Nightmare โ Fluoro. UK based please. Thanks. Had to look this one up, as I'd not seen the image before. 1. If you expand your search beyond the UK, there appears to be four copies of the print currently for sale by some entity called Artetrama, based in Madrid. They're available directly from the dealer's website *, and via intermediary platforms like their eB ay account *, Art sper * and Art space * โ at prices ranging from โฌ395 plus shipping to ยฃ490 plus shipping. 2. What are your thoughts on the print's title, Arthur Miller's Nightmare (Fluoro)? It doesn't really make sense to me: (a) In what way is Marilyn Monroe a nightmare? (b) And in this specific case, why the anachronistic reference to Arthur Miller? Could it simply be a reference to an unhappy marriage? Though other husbands could have been chosen.....

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by trapnel1 on Feb 3, 2023 14:13:22 GMT 1, Iโll go to HENI tomorrow and look at them in person. Iโll also ask about the weight. That is, unless I can already find the info on the Discord. I was able to visit the MIMA exhibition, and one of the interesting things was how the pieces changed when viewed through the lens of a digital camera. When you visit, can you let us know if the HENI reproductions achieve this effect? I think it will probably only be relevant for two of them....

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by trapnel1 on Jan 18, 2023 12:42:10 GMT 1, Yes I gave them an email and I have heard back from paragon pressโฆ At some of the signings Damien Hirst added this number which I believe is something to do with the chemical compound for the substance of Fenbufen. who knew ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ Do you have any more details? The molecular weight of fenbufen is 254.28, which doesn't help. Historically, these names were taken from the Sigma Chemical Co. catalogue, and the number doesn't appear to correspond to their listing either (at least in the current version....)

Harland Miller 3 WISHES 4 EVER, by trapnel1 on Jan 18, 2023 9:55:10 GMT 1, Most people like Harland for his Penguin works which is why these are still available. Unfortunately other people (avoided the word โartistsโ) have stolen his concept which is sad. Anyone bothering to go the London Art Fair will be bombarded by lots and lots of Connor Bros Penguin prints. Harland Miller didn't come up with painting penguin books, there was an Irish artist doing it in the 80s. Just like Damien Hirst didn't do the first spot painting. Nothing new under the sun as they say. TBF the dozens of charlatans jumping on the bandwagon is nauseating. Neil Shawcross is the Irish artist I think (well, English but living for many years in the north of Ireland). He was definitely doing these from the early nineties, though with the real authors and titles so far as I know so not quite the same (plenty of images online). When did Miller start them? And was there anyone even earlier??

Banksy Book โข WALL and PIECE, by trapnel1 on Dec 15, 2022 21:23:22 GMT 1, I have a Wall and Piece hardcover first edition, it has the book line number of 10, no other numbers, can anyone confirm if this would be a first print? thanks The first printing should have a complete number line which contains the number 1... Sounds like you have a tenth printing.

Recommended Art Books, by trapnel1 on Nov 11, 2022 11:52:00 GMT 1, Arrived just now, extremely beautiful book though not a fan of the plate signed thingie. Not a big fan of that either. Particularly as in my case the the sticker is loose in the book. Havenโt decided if I keep it that way or if I should stick it in as well.
Agreed not as nice as direct signing and inscription by the author (he has done this for some of his previous books!), Increasingly common for author signatures to be on personalised bookplates though, and still better than no signature so long as there is good provenance.

Greenpeace โข 50 Years, by trapnel1 on Sept 27, 2022 10:47:07 GMT 1, I agree on the Billy piece, with his upwards trajectory (slow but progressing nevertheless) Iโd say this is one to hold onto.
It is lovely, and not overly expensive for a piece of this size produced in this way. And the great thing about Billy is that he continues to produce beauiful work at a range of prices in various formats - the L-13 prints are incredible value for someone looking for his work at the other end of the price spectrum.
