Ooooh lovely. Would buy this over almost any other print if I had the cash

would 19k get the deal done?

That's lovely!

I take it this was one of the original editions from Montana Gallery?

Highly sought after anyway as the montana and any special proofs from GP were hand painted rather than using crayons - separate from the GP version, but same basic print. I have seen both editions for the most part and the level of detail is lovely on the montana ones and proofs.

Ive heard these going for a fair penny so would be interested to know what the offers have been like.

I may be bias as i own a piece from the montana exhibition, but i have had a ton of offers but do not want to sell and it is next to frame. One included a straight swap for an unsinged (yes i meant that) banksy (not flags). The offer was made from asia where he is an already well known and popular street artist.

Knew that would draw you out.
You cannot help but have the inferiority complex about your style wars.
It is comedic.

Could someone please explain the rationale behind the recent intervention by Cost at the McDonald's near the Louvre?

I ask because I love what Cost has done in the past (the work of Revs even more so). And it's depressing when a person you hold in such high regard suddenly drops in your esteem.

This is nothing more than a disgusting act to me, aggravated by its futility. If it had potential to be effective in getting a message across, like a dirty protest in prison, I could at least understand.

But unless the turd was accompanied by an explanatory note, the interior design or branding execs and other decision-makers at corporate headquarters will never hear about the incident. At best, the management at that particular McDonald's will just be under the impression it's dealing with a random, repulsive character with mental problems.

As referred to by ignorantwalnut, Cost therefore stuck it, not to the multinational responsible for the image appropriation, but to the minimum-wager tasked with the clean-up — some pitiful teenager or immigrant who commutes into work from the suburbs and who had no idea about the supposed motivation behind the act.

Worse, from my perspective the gesture seems disingenuous. It feels like Cost is simply pretending, for the sake of appearances and social media attention, to take issue with the photo of his and Revs' roller piece on the High Line in New York (scrubbed and largely removed almost five years ago) being turned into wallpaper and pasted in a Paris fast food restaurant.

HYPE IT FREERANGE!

For a Banksy I might be somehow willing to swap my 1/1... Anybody?

If there's a cray pas finished version of them riding oversized panda bears I'd trade my good kidney for it.

Good luck with your sale sir, although I would suggest a full picture.

I lost faith in the forum many years ago when i did indeed sell below cost then that person put it on ebay a week later. Happened again recently, so my attitude towards it is F.U.

Jesus... and you didn't accept?? Wow.

Feel free to point that real person in my direction.

I believe you.

That said, I also know the owners of the three other Montana pieces, and I'm sure they'd love that real person's info.

I see two separate People that had them and moved them on - and now want to pour scorn on the print - bet you weren't shitting all over it when you were trying to shift one

aberdoom - if you want to hate on it then create a thread and fill your boots but to take a metaphorical shit on my thread is poor form
