Grannies vs Morons, by mint on Jan 31, 2017 23:46:40 GMT 1, My friend is trading me for a Kaws piece.
I like them both but which do you guys think is better?
Grannies never got much love but morons is kinda eh for me.
The Grannies is from the LA show if that makes any difference.
Morons is from POW.
Either way I think its smart to get the Banksy.
Just curious which you guys think will hold more value.
Cheers
-Michael

I thought it was going to be an interesting question about the artistic merit of each piece, until I read to the end and found that your interest lies in which will hold its value the most!
Setting that aside (and therefore ignoring your question somewhat, for which I apologise) my opinion is that morons is probably a more iconic Banksy "joke", but I have always had a soft spot for Grannies. If it was a choice I had to make, my heart would tell me to go for Grannies. Simply because I would enjoy it more.

Grannies vs Morons, by mint on Feb 1, 2017 0:36:25 GMT 1, Haha...by value I mean in terms of desirability from collectors.
I would be looking to trade it for a image I'm more into.

Grannies vs Morons, by willamsa on Feb 1, 2017 2:05:05 GMT 1, I think Morons is more typical banksy - the irony of buying art at the inflated prices banksy now commands makes the image (produced years ago) even more amusing and relevant

This. Easy pick. Grannies a one liner (like most of his art) but at least morons is a direct comment on the state of the art world.

Grannies vs Morons, by yorkie on Feb 1, 2017 11:29:32 GMT 1, I love Grannies - I desperately want a signed one because it has so much meaning for me personally.
I was a punk in my youth and I just love the message it gives.
I think to the naked eye it really does force you to look at the print.
Don't get me wrong - I like the Morons print too but for emotion within me and for which one I would gladly have on my wall and look at every day.... grannies!

morons is a fuck you to every collector paying way too much money and not even considering what they're buying, it's a middle finger to the whole art world and the false gods it creates all for the mighty dollar.

Grannies vs Morons, by Aza on Feb 1, 2017 14:11:57 GMT 1, Morons by far, it's so ironic.
I have one on the wall and if Banksy suddenly became worthless, I wouldn't care, and the Morons print would be extra special because of it.

Grannies vs Morons, by Urban Odyssey on Feb 2, 2017 2:14:12 GMT 1, My gut response would have been morons as love the fingers up message to investors rather than art lovers. However, for me the real value comes in being able to discuss the piece and if I was fortunate to own grannies I can just imagine my kids loving the fact I have a couple of nana's on my wall with all the other weird and wonderful stuff.
if it's monetary value you are after, sell the Kaws and use the money to pay off a chunk of the mortgage.
