Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by shechtmr on Oct 3, 2014 13:48:02 GMT 1, If you sign up for the emails you should receive them...check your spam. I have 2 separate email addresses set up to receive notifications, 1 came about 3 minutes before the release and the other about 15 minutes after. BUT if you want the information in advance your best bet is to join instagram and follow POW. Hell. I have it with 2 email addresses as well, nothing in spam etc. POW has an IG? Name?

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by Deleted on Oct 3, 2014 14:00:26 GMT 1, Well, that was my first ever live drop, and have to say it wasn't so pleasant.
By the time I had 3 windows going--POW, this Forum for updates, and eBay to scout flips--felt like I was day-trading.
Congrats to all who got something they wanted.

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by Deleted on Oct 3, 2014 14:01:24 GMT 1, Do we know this for a fact? There hasn't been any for a long time, but Adam Neate once said no more prints, and he's banging them out again...
I really think Banksy is all done releasing prints after the queue problems for CYW. The whining after the oversell of NOLA (and resulting grey edition) probably didn't help either.

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by maddoghoek100 on Oct 3, 2014 15:03:16 GMT 1, seems foolish to think there will never be more banksy prints, money and nostalgia are strange things. selling a canvas to a collector is nice, and it makes you feel popular, but it does not garner media frenzy. so there may come a time where he has a new project in mind, could use some cash and some buzz to finance it and a print release might just fit the bill. Barring a death i would say there is a 100% chance of an authorized banksy print as direct release or through a museum in the next 35 years, and when you think about it estates do some funny things some times too.
ps invader is cool
POW has been good in keeping up with secondary market prices. Next Banksy release will start at 2k quid for an unsigned and 6-8k quid for a signed one (full disclosure that this is based on current market pricing and will probably double by the end of this year) there will be no more prints.

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by Deleted on Oct 3, 2014 15:38:19 GMT 1, I'd agree that we won't see any new Banksy prints, at least not ones sold to the public anyway. Only things like 'Love Hurts' given away to friends as favors. He has absolutely no need for money, and it does seem to go against his artistic integrity (at this point).
I really wish Banksy would do a piece addressing the nature of drone strikes, however.

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by maddoghoek100 on Oct 3, 2014 15:50:35 GMT 1, im thinking art history and time are on my side on this one. Semi official Rembrandt etchings were produced for almost 200 years after his death by his former print shops because he did not cancel his plates. Are they authentic, i suppose that is in the eye of the beholder and pricing reflects that. Prints are already reproductions (like etchings). So IF banksy lasts as a key piece of art history the market is going to accept all kinds of things as authentic, and i highly doubt all of his screens, stencils, and other materials could ever be destroyed. Somehting somewhere will find its way out of hiding. So ill expand my time horizon, how about 400 years.
As i said estates do all kinds of interesting things too, posthumous prints are never as highly valued, but are still widely accepted in the market as official. the basquiat posthumous prints are a good example. I have no idea if Banksy has kids, but some day they may want to trade on good old dads name for cash, or his widow.
then there are museum financing prints, Lichtenstein As I opened Fire is a good example. They were sold by the Stedelijk Museum to finance the purchase of the painting. Printed both before and after his death, the unstamped ones from before his death do command a small premium, but they are all authentic.
so im still thinking there will be more "authentic" banksy prints in the future. Obama!

I think Banksy is a little different; something would seem inherently odd about buying a posthumous print from an anonymous artist.

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by maddoghoek100 on Oct 3, 2014 16:03:00 GMT 1, there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO chance that if banksy remains anonymous until the time of his death that his identity will not be revealed. The identity of Jack the Ripper was just officially proven 120 years after the events. No secret lasts forever, or those that do are so well kept that no one knew there was a secret at all.
peoples time horizons are just too screwed up in this era of extreme instant gratification. I get that street are is temporal and is not initially intended to last, so maybe that breeds some of it, but come on. We have thousands of years of history to look back on to help us look forward and folks are talking about 3, 5 and 10 years ago like the dark ages.

that being said, I'm pretty sure it's a pretty open secret who Banksy is. so, not much of a secret at all. just never "confirmed" by his people

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by maddoghoek100 on Oct 3, 2014 16:11:16 GMT 1, i think it would be foolish to believe that there is not new work being produced and that some portion of it is reaching private hands. He is a working living artist. He gets up in the morning and thinks about his art. Maybe 100% of the things he produces on a daily basis are archived, but even the biggest storage spaces start to overflow or they get too expensive to maintain. Some spring cleaning is bound to happen.
Good example is the spray pieces for central park that did not sell. They are sitting somewhere taking up space. Or they were quietly sold or given to someone. They probably were not burned. And even if they were supposed to be burned one was taken by the guy who was supposed to light the match and put under his bed. that is just the way the world is

Invader Aladdin Sane Print, by maddoghoek100 on Oct 3, 2014 16:23:48 GMT 1, Great article from the Daily Mail on the ripper being confirmed through DNA testing form last month. Sort of why it was top of mind, not that i am comparing Banksy or Invader to Jack the ripper, but more that people had thought we would only have speculation rather than fact, but on a long enough time horizon secrets just dont stay secret.
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2747142/Did-horrors-witnessed-boy-turn-Polish-hairdresser-Jack-Ripper-As-book-says-DNA-evidence-definitively-nailed-Britain-s-infamous-serial-killer.html
that said both banksy and invaders identities are less secret and more willful ignorance / open secrets. If one of them were to pass away prior to that changing im would be confident in saying that their obituaries would credit them for their work and allow the community they touched to morn their loss rather than let them pass away in obscurity. Purely conjecture, but does not seem like a big stretch. Ill site the sad happening of Robbo's recent passing as possible evidence here

Although I probably wouldn't buy work produced after the death of an artist in the first place.

Purely conjecture, but does not seem like a big stretch. Ill site the sad happening of Robbo's recent passing as possible evidence here I still don't think they've got the right person for Jack the Ripper. Only believable suspect, IMO, was the guy from the "Jack the Ripper in America" special that featured one of the creators of 'The Wire' that being said, I'm pretty sure it's a pretty open secret who Banksy is. so, not much of a secret at all. just never "confirmed" by his people I've read elsewhere that the DNA argument is heavily disputed (too lazy to find a link), but if you have a chance, watch "Jack the Ripper in America" documentary. It's pretty compelling, plus being one of the creators of "The Wire" goes a long way as far as credibility. www.imdb.com/title/tt1744774/ |

Although I probably wouldn't buy work produced after the death of an artist in the first place.

Reading between those lines, you are putting out a contract on Banksy in order to raise the market value of his work?, can't we just cut his hair funny so he stays in or something?. |

Maybe next time.
