Are Walton fine art a joke ?, by Tompkins on Jan 6, 2013 15:34:32 GMT 1, I only emailed asking for a price on a Choose Your Weapon !!!! 
Dear Matt
Thank you for your enquiry
But we have recently sold most of our Banksys in private show and focusing more on Bambi.
As Banksy prices are at a peak with for example girl with Balloon print costing almost ยฃ25000 a Moss print averaging about ยฃ50,000 plus, and a girl with Balloon edition of 25 original well over ยฃ100,000, there doesnt seem to be any further upside and possibly more downside.
It just makes more sense since more and more people over the last 15 months want Bambi and there seems to be more potential growth and upside on bambi. You can buy Bambi originals currently from ยฃ3000 to about ยฃ16000 export and rising.
Especially given that Rihana, Brad pitt, Adele, Robbie williams, Gary Barlow, Harry Styles are just some of her latest collectors.
As a matter of fact we are in the middle of The Bambi world premier exhibition and people are trying to buy up before prices go up and originals become even more scarce.
Bambi has been dubbed as 'the female Banksy' by veteran tv presenter David Dimbleby. And seen as being the next Banksy by many as her momentum rises and works go into great collections.
Heres a little about Bambi:

This is by far the first time I've heard about this gallery trying to force works of Bambi onto folk when enquiring about something else.

Are Walton fine art a joke ?, by Sundowner on Jan 6, 2013 17:22:05 GMT 1, I enquired about the white CYW they were advertising on Artnet.com and got a similar response (apart from the David Dimbleby bit). They are either incredibly stupid to think this artist is the next big thing, they think the art buying public are incredibly naive or they have put far too many eggs in one basket and are now desperate to sell as much stock as quickly as possible.

This is just a gallery trying to make some serious money by treating people that have a clue like idiots. Maybe someone will bite but it won't be me.

Are Walton fine art a joke ?, by Dr Plip on Jan 6, 2013 22:53:16 GMT 1, I was puzzled by the last part of the Waltons Bambi write-up:
"Walton Fine Arts is the sole, global agent and representative of Bambi UK street artist. All works by Bambi originate from Walton Fine Arts. Works will be seen to come and go, in a rather incognito manor. Rather like Bambiโs credentials which remain unknown."
"...credentials which remain unknown."? Would you say that about an artist, the only artist that you're the sole representative of?
