Art Wanted, by Deleted on Mar 26, 2016 21:33:58 GMT 1, It really is a wonder these prints are still available and it brings up so many questions with possible answers and options to why. Does Banksy allow it by choice? Or can't he do anything about it? Maybe he likes the idea of people who really appreciate the image being able to afford a print? I have never heard of him or his camp ever enforcing infringement of his name or work. Only a few select cases he publicly addressed like the BNE shirt fiasco. I honestly think he just doesn't care. A simple google search will literally pull up thousands of items from hundreds of sellers. If you think about it, none of these products will have any impact on his actual work sales, which there is very little of to begin with, and if anything are just free publicity, not that he needs it. Regarding his team and lawyers I heard he rigidly enforces copyright. The Bristol museum show was very strictly controlled.
Of course the original images Banksy created the rats and stuff are copyright and someone just copying them and reselling with no signature or saying they are copies is copyright theft should the original creator decide to take action. There is also artists intellectual rights. Street artists who make ltd editions dont have people photographing their street art and reselling it on T shirts and prints etc. If Banksy did decide to take action he could do it easily through his manager or a lawyer or representative. Plus he is wealthy enough to not care if the person re selling his images is ordered to pay compensation and destroy the screens etc.
If it's going on it's because Banksy lets it go on and i'm certain he knows that copies are being sold.
The thing is what are the boundaries. His mate Brainwash has no problems stealing images of celebrities and putting Marilyns hair on them and reselling the finished product as his own. Plus the many Star wars caracters re sold re deited as ltd edition urban art prints.
Some people like Disney etc will take action if someone steals their caracters and not take action depending on how their public iage comes across. If Banksy puts a stop to copies, would that mean he is a sellout, or an artist protecting his art?
Sunday B Morning did a similar thing with Warhols and Warhol found it quite amusing and did not mind.

Art Wanted, by Daniel Silk on Mar 26, 2016 21:53:50 GMT 1, So let's go with the line that Banksy can't stop them due to wanting to keep his identity hidden.
What can he do to combat this? Could he release all the prints himself maybe as posters for about ยฃ10 each? Every single print released as a cheap poster with an unlimited run, meaning these copies would be pushed out of the market.

If he wanted to get rid of copies he could easily and effectively price them out the market. But he can't be arsed. In a nutshell.

I think the whole point is he doesn't care period and if anything probably finds it amusing. The tens if not hundreds of thousands of pieces out there from prints, canvases and stickers to apparel, coffee mugs and mouse pads don't affect him or his business at all. Even if he could put a dent in the sales of them it would cost him a tremendous amount to it and again, since he doesn't sell any of these things to begin with it makes no business sense to allocate resources to stop it.

Art Wanted, by Lroy on Mar 26, 2016 23:10:49 GMT 1, I like to think Banksy has given his secret permission so that Banksy fans get a print at low price. I have no idea if Banksy has done that or if Banksy cares. is your answer wrote with secrecy and invisible ink ? Or a bit , a contemptuous answer ? :-) Yes I know that some knows when anothers don't know that the first ones know because what is to know is that nobody knows apart the ones who know ; example : a man from Bristol will say Banksy is RG, when another one will say , no of course not , this RG is not Bsnksy, because Banksy is the prince of secrecy and we adore him as a god ! A brand is born ! Lol ! Sorry mate to used your " no answer " to write mine ! God will forgive us ! Amen.

But if you're the type of guy who would buy a fake Rolex in Times Square and wear it with pride, I say go for it. nothing to see , I repeat. Posters are cheap, the paper used is not cheap and smells good ink. And if I have some WCP Banksy ( I don't care to show what I have on my walls or on my sofa ( I have not, mine is rubbish ) , framed by the best framer of the world , lol, nothing to see with a Rolex ( I hate Rolex and I hate rich men ) , it is just a mess, as in a gypsie room, with all kind of stuff , mixed with originals other prints ( mint and all these " true " collections/collectors are so boring - ask their wives ! ) . Anyway, it is not a story or fake or not, to show or not show, it existed and it's good. Everybody will recognize the copy it's written on lol !
Are we all kids ( showing our collections of stamps or Pokemon, our cave or our belly button - stop the run, you/we/they will always find a man richest than us ) ? No we are Devo.
And Iam not jealous. Just stop the booze.
Ps: hey all , I know that you can't see me, but it's just a debate. Nothing personal, no hate, nothing.. Writing on these pages as Doctor Mabuse in his jail. Can't stop.,,

Art Wanted, by Villain Dillon on Mar 27, 2016 0:23:10 GMT 1, Better than getting burned on a print that you think is real. The transparency is appreciated. Pinkies out to those who can afford the real deal, but for the common folk, a high quality reproduction doesn't hurt. If the image suites you, it's a nice treat to put it on the wall - even without authenticity/COA/nod of approval. Let's be honest, how many of us have their prints in a plans chest, in the dark, never to see the light of day until that faithful resale/trade?

Art Wanted, by Schrรถdinger's Chat on Mar 27, 2016 7:54:35 GMT 1, I bought a WCP NOLA a while back, quality seemed pretty good but I have to say I had it framed for a short time up on the wall and weirdly it gave me a bit of an empty feeling when I looked at it - having said that if I dropped ยฃ30k (no idea if that is accurate price) on an original Banksy NOLA I wonder what feeling I would have? Perhaps a feeling of empty wallet and empty house as my partner would probably disown me for blowing that much on a piece of inky paper.

Art Wanted, by met on Apr 6, 2016 0:10:53 GMT 1, If you're only concerned about the Banksy image, you could print one yourself for less money and in reasonably good quality from images available online.
Regarding the fakes churned out by West Country Prince, here are three questions to ask yourself:
1. As a fan of Banksy's art, are you also interested in Banksy's previously-stated views about the unauthorised reproduction of his work for commercial sale (as opposed to non-commercial personal use)?
2. How strong is your desire to own an unauthorised cheap copy of Banksy's work that was produced for commercial sale?
3. Does that desire override any qualms you may have about (i) disregarding the preferences expressed by the artist himself or (ii) lining the pockets of an intellectual property thief and parasite like West Country Prince?

Art Wanted, by met on Apr 6, 2016 0:21:55 GMT 1, As if this needs clarifying. Copies are not fakes until the person selling them trys to pass them as originals prints etc. I think WCP has put everything people need to know in the text. If you want the image and not the investment and you like the quality then buy one. WCP is a member on here who has reminded us in another thread that these are on Ebay. Message him if you have any queries I'm sure he will answer your questions. It's a minor point of pedantry but your definition of "fake" is too restrictive.
That word has different meanings, including broader ones where dishonest intent is not necessary.

That said I don't think I would ever buy one of those cheap copies, just totally against the point of collecting art you love in my lowly opinion. Think I will just enjoy his street stuff for now.

That said, if the stamp was on the front I would not longer even consider it. Not that I wouldn't want coworkers/people knowing it's a repop, I'd be sure to explain that myself. Just think it would kill the aesthetic.

I want to to see what the actual quality is like and have the image but I dont want to because how can you put it on the wall next to or even in the same house as the real deal.

Still laying flat and should probably sell as it won't make the wall. Personally think they are worth the money if you like the image, to compare it to a cheap poster is more than unfair.

Art Wanted, by damo on Apr 6, 2016 16:07:32 GMT 1, I bought a WCP copy of GWB after I sold my original last year. I did it as a bit of a joke to be honest as the old frame was empty post sale. It's on my kids wall and is a talking point but nothing more. The absence of the POW stamp is the clear difference but I have to say it's very close to the original. I've taken pictures of them both close up and covered the corner and my wife couldn't tell the diff, and the original was on our bedroom wall for 10 years. It's less re the match of the print, I'm guessing that's easy, it's the paper match that elevates it above just being a poster. Does it have any investment or artistic value, no, not at all, but if it's the image you like it's a considerable step up from buying a poster I assure you. I am not sure they should be promoted on here but I actually think ยฃ50 is perfectly reasonable for what it is. More than that and theyd be taking advantage, but you'd have to pretty naive (ie buy it framed and not check) to miss the back where it's fairly evident it's a copy and not an original. I don't see any harm in that. I suspect he/they would be me more reactive if the quality was really poor.

Similar to the Sunday bs in years to come, The black stamp

Art Wanted, by barryh on Apr 7, 2016 11:13:12 GMT 1, If you really like banksy but can't afford a 'proper' print... Just press print on a colour printer... Don't give this chancer ยฃ150 a time, it's rediculous. Also the whole 'what if they turn out to be legit' point the mods raise is as misguided as the jboy thread trolling

Art Wanted, by nex on Apr 8, 2016 3:56:01 GMT 1, If you're only concerned about the Banksy image, you could print one yourself for less money and in reasonably good quality from images available online. Regarding the fakes churned out by West Country Prince, here are three questions to ask yourself: 1. As a fan of Banksy's art, are you also interested in Banksy's previously-stated views about the unauthorised reproduction of his work for commercial sale (as opposed to non-commercial personal use)? 2. How strong is your desire to own an unauthorised cheap copy of Banksy's work that was produced for commercial sale? 3. Does that desire override any qualms you may have about (i) disregarding the preferences expressed by the artist himself or (ii) lining the pockets of an intellectual property thief and parasite like West Country Prince? the above is all that needs to be said.

Art Wanted, by Lroy on Apr 8, 2016 9:44:00 GMT 1, I love the passion on this forum. Lol, yes you are right ! We don't care a bit about what is doing WCP ; if you like them you buy if no, not. The qualityu is good and the guy honnest. No, what can we remark is this immoderate love for Banksy ?! Sometimes I have the impression to be on the Abba or Justin Bieber forum ! Banksy is as you and me and have a pee - to be polite - every morning.
