Banksy Clown Skate deck price, by Deleted on Aug 13, 2014 13:48:35 GMT 1, I got an email from a guy with said above asking if I'd any idea what a mint one would be worth, I haven't a clue but if anyone does I'll pass it on. email. I have an original Clown Skateboards deck for which Banksy did the graphics for in the late 90's, he did a few graphics for Clown and also their company logo. The graphic I have is the clown holding 2 guns.

Last year, I was able to have a quick chat with Invader.
I'd been interested in hearing his thoughts on the paradox resulting from his Invasion Kits having increased significantly in value over the years: The kits kept sealed are more desirable to collectors than those where the packaging has been opened and the tiles are cemented to walls or just framed. In other words, the active and more visually-appealing way of promoting the invasion is now, in effect, financially discouraged.
An easy comparison can be made with comic book collectors who keep their rare, sought-after first editions in archival conditions instead of reading and enjoying them as regular comic books.
Invader's response was that, for him, the kits are conceptual pieces — rather than artworks in the traditional sense necessarily intended to be exhibited. The importance lies in the idea, more so than the visual presentation of the idea.
In this respect, Invader had no issue with Invasion Kits being left intact as complete kits, sealed and unviewed in a drawer. He felt such a decision by collectors, and different way of appreciating the kits, was just as valid as removing the assembled tiles from their packaging and hanging them up.
It was a perspective I had not previously considered.

Then again, how it differs from having prints in a folio? probably not one bit.

From an artists point of view I can see where he is coming from, creating something physical from an idea etc, but as a collector, it misses me.... appreciated by being left intact in a drawer? The whole comic thing also fails me, as an investmant fine keep them sealed, but if I bought a comic, I'd want to read it, a nice bottle of whisky, I'd want to taste it......I'll be honest, I just dont get it. Then again, how it differs from having prints in a folio? probably not one bit. |

Banksy Clown Skate deck price, by bonesy on Aug 13, 2014 20:19:19 GMT 1, I spent a lot of time searching for one in 2007-2008 or so, even hitting up the skate deck collector forums and was never able to find one.
Certainly very few of these decks out there but at this point I think I would be apprehensive to buy one, would be easy to fake as someone has pointed out.
If anyone makes some, Ill buy

Excellent. And, I believe, the pure point of conceptualism.

Nice those clown decks though =]

Native advertising?? Hope not as I have much respect for Castle.... No I don't work that way at all Nacional, I like things straight forward as possible without the games and bull. The board isn't mine, I was contacted via the website by the owner who wanted to know if I could advise him on value as hes been asked would he sell it by some who saw it on his instagram, I told him I hadn't a clue then asked on here to see if anyone knew so I could pass on the info to him, call it research and helping someone out at the same time, I've had interest via pm on the board and I said I would email the guy and let him know and if he was interested in selling I'd hook them up directly, no money involved. |
