Banksy and Art History, by Deleted on Aug 15, 2014 3:52:40 GMT 1, All of this talk on these forums about the current Banksy prices/market had me thinking a lot about how these prints and pieces will transition over the coming decades. It is inevitable that Banksy will be taught in art history courses, even introductory ones, as he represents an entire movement in art.
Considering this, I can see how some of his prints may become more or less sought after than they previously were, based on their relation to his career (i.e. pieces that might be mentioned in an art history course, when going over the career or Banksy and his works). My guesses are the below, and the UP/DOWN means desirability, or how much people will be seeking the print compared to now [i.e. this doesn't mean lower prices]:
-Rude Copper --> UP UP -Have A Nice Day --> UP -Bomb Middle England --> SAME/UP -Flower Thrower --> UP -Queen Vic --> UP -Weston Super Mare --> DOWN -Happy Choppers --> SAME/UP -Monkey Queen --> UP -Turf War --> UP -Golf Sale --> SAME/DOWN -HMV --> SAME/DOWN -Toxic Mary --> UP -Laugh Now --> UP -Bomb Hugger --> SAME/UP -Flying Copper --> SAME -Wrong War --> SAME -Pulp Fiction --> SAME/DOWN -Girl With Balloon --> UP -Love Rat --> UP -Gangsta Rat --> UP -Placard Rats --> UP -Napalm --> UP -Christ --> Down -I Fought The Law --> Down -Radar Rat --> UP -Kate Moss --> UP -Grin Reaper --> DOWN -CND Soldiers --> UP -Jack and Jill --> DOWN -Soup Cans --> DOWN -Festival --> DOWN -Sale Ends --> DOWN -Grannies --> DOWN -Applause --> DOWN -Morons --> SAME/DOWN (depending on backlash due to content of image) -Trolleys --> DOWN -Flags --> DOWN -Stop & Search --> UP/SAME -Cans Festival --> UP (purely due to rarity) -NOLA --> UP -Very Little Helps --> DOWN -Donuts --> DOWN -No Ball Games --> DOWN
Feel free to lend your insight, call me insane, waste my time, all that.

Banksy and Art History, by andyroo0312 on Aug 15, 2014 6:48:13 GMT 1, I think the prints that translate to all regardless of race,weath,location etc will be the ones that have longevity for me prints like Donuts,Trolleys,Toxic Mary, All the Rats,Nola and many more I can't be arsed to write will because of the universal message prints like QV, WSM, BME, NBG,Turf Wars,and VLH are really only relevant to the UK crew so may not be so popular with the rest of the world but these are just the thoughts of a guy stuck at home with a groin injury and has anger issues

Banksy and Art History, by Deleted on Aug 15, 2014 7:16:34 GMT 1, i personally am not a huge fan of turf war, but i think it will have longevity due to the history behind the print; it has more world reach than the typical eurocentric event. I agree with WSM, BME, NBG, VLH. I think QV will be seen as his 'subversive government' style, granted obviously more appealing to some. I personally am not put off by any of the Queen pieces, being an American; just different leaders.

Don't own one, but it does seem like one of those pieces that you can't teach a Banksy summary class without mentioning.

Maybe just flatten out more for some pieces than others in the long-run. This is purely theoretical, looking at it from an art history perspective.

All very well for the colonies to complain know it hurts that a small lad from old blights is so important.....but hey honey that's just the way it is. Turf war and Union jacks will always be popular with the rest of the world maybe just not a hit in the colonies with some.
But it's a bit like saying Warhols Mao is only popular with the Chinese and communists.
Love and kissesxxxxx

Banksy and Art History, by daveart on Aug 15, 2014 14:44:17 GMT 1, to me the upward pressure will continue until it bumps into other alternatives.. ie. signed banksy gets to say $30K USD .. you have to consider whether you want a signed Banksy or a very nice signed Haring, lower end Warhol, Johns, etc. in the $10k - 20K space there is room to run up still under the other very big named artists. the day you are at auction and a signed Banksy Barcode sells for more than the Signed Warhol Zebra say.. that will be an interesting day. or quite possibly .. the warhols run up more opening more space underneat for other artists to appreciate and be the cost of a warhol 10 years past.. etc.. to me most of the Banksy images dont work in a high end living room, dining room , office.. so just not sure... could you spend that kind of money on something your wife hates? or go buy a very nice warhol that she loves. so, anyway, that's my thought on this.. things appreciate up to the point where the other options look more attractive.
funny thing for me ... i started buying banksy back in the day becuase i couldnt afford haring and warhol. i would be very happy at some point to trade banksy's for various haring and warhol prints in the future!

Bit like I remember where I was when Birdy Song came out.
For the real Banksy art history.
Has Banksy ever made a colab with Damien Hirst?

It was sold for $1,870,000 through Sotheby's auction house in New York City on Valentines Day in 2008. (I found this article on the internet - I am not the author and the photo is not my image)

Nice,
Regarding Banksy and art history and facts, I aske dthe question because a lot of people say that team Hirst was behind Banksy and for Banksy to colab with Hirst means they had been working together for a while and did Hirst open doors and push the prices up?

Banksy and Art History, by hunter on Aug 16, 2014 13:01:06 GMT 1, Why do people consider NBG is only relevant to the UK? Works on many levels I would have thought. Same as saying NOLA is only relevant to New Orleans.
There was another Hirst/Banksy collab at the Bristol Museum show.

U cant beat capitalism and making art from social comments.
