Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Rouen Cathedral on Apr 12, 2017 0:53:40 GMT 1, Entitlement? Me? Geez did I not call this? Banksy's loyal fans have somehow been 'brainwashed' to defend it! Did I not call that? An edition size of 100 has the ability to reach 100 people. An edition size of 0 has the ability to reach 0 people. It's quite simple. Answer this. Why does banksy have such a stranglehold on his prints with Pest control? Why does it matter to him who owns them? Why not release prints? Yes, entitlement. Brainwashed? Very funny. I just happen to believe that it's up to each artist to decide how to develop their career and to whom they sell. It's not up to me, and it's certainly not up to you. Edition of 100? I thought you were concerned that dismalland reaching anyone out of 65 million that wanted to visit for ยฃ3 was inadequate, as it left 7 billion unfulfilled? But an edition of 100 will sort that, right? Pest control have a stranglehold? Twisting the facts? Happy with it being easy for forgers to rip people off? Maybe that was the reason PC was established?
I'm not telling him who he should sell too. But I guess selling to the super rich is the route banksys chosen. Great for him.
You aren't grasping the concept. Banksy's art can reach anyone. Photos on the internet are great. However throughout history people have wanted to obtain art. This can be visiting work and seeing it first hand. Anyone will tell you a photo does no justice. Artists have given the opportunity to people with paintings and prints as well.
A print release could reach any single person. Odds aren't great but what's that matter.
Dismalaland for example could not reach any single person. It's restricted.
Banksy started as an inclusive artist. Painting in the public. Traveling the world and painting on walls. That's inclusive.
Spending millions on a fake theme park isn't inclusive. Releasing to the super rich isn't inclusive.
as someone mentioned the model is there to be more inclusive with prints. For some reason banksy ignores this. Why?
This seems to relate to the control on his prints?
He's protecting against forgers?
Is there even evidence that there are convincing forgeries out there?

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by bonesy on Apr 12, 2017 1:07:32 GMT 1, I haven't read the thread.
The last print B released he had to follow up with a queue jumpers edition, that was his "thank you for your support, good bye"

Haha I actually like a lot of banksys stuff. He's what brought me into 'street art/ urban art'.
I call it more of critiquing. I mean he's supposively one of the greatest artists ever he can handle a critique.
It's just the blind following that a lot of banksy fans have. Which is so ironic cause art isn't about the name on the work st least that's what banksy believed!
It's like you stole their puppy if you critique him in any way! Lol

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by andyroo0312 on Apr 12, 2017 2:51:14 GMT 1, Love him or hate him but personally i dip my hat to B and would do shots with him anytime. Its the least i could do for the guy. I am a very very very average Joe blow ( names not really Joe) and B has helped me pay for my daughters Uni, upgraded on a new car plus once word got about i had signed Banksys i got to upgrade on my girlfriend as well... Thx B, you are worthy of having your name written into the Bible, Quran, Torah & Talmud, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Guru Granth Sahib and of course the Shreemad Bhagavad Gita.
If B had just been born in the US then moved to Bristol he would be President of the US of A by now..

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Cornish Crayon on Apr 12, 2017 8:24:19 GMT 1, I've flicked thru this thread and from what I can see it's more about not owning a piece than the accessibility to actually enjoying his work, there are books and the internet for that, seeing something in the flesh, go to Bristol go to London go to Lyme Regis there is plenty about, if seeing these still on walls doesn't satisfy you then this is all about owning a piece as I first stated,
Could someone please define an average joe?

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by oxfordwelshchap on Apr 12, 2017 9:20:53 GMT 1, I've written this before, but here goes again. Obey and to a lesser extent Kaws show that you can be a global superstar and still give the common folk relatively affordable art. Even Hirst offers reasonably affordable multiples e.g the recent signed book. Based on no evidence at all, I think that Banksy is poorly advised that the way to go is to turn the reasonably priced art tap off. It just makes a bit of a mockery of the whole from the streets schtick. Exactly. The control over his prints with pest control and him refusing to release more. He's controlling the high prices. All while somehow making his fans loyal to defend it. "Ludicrous pompousness"
The same as many of the folks on here I'm guessing. One thing I'm learning is that there are significant vested interests in rising prices and keeping them up e.g this rediculous rise in the price of invader prints.

Pah, his fans isn't defending it, they are laughing in gaze. It's the capitalist that are controlling the market. Has nutting to do with Banksy or art for that matter.

In all honesty, would you keep the same argument if you owned something from Banksy right now? Banksy can not be everywhere and please everyone, why should he release something, only for it to be flipped the next day for x100 or more?

Enjoy it.
But you can't be it, just because you are paying for it.

Sure capitalist control some but Banksy controls his prices. He could easily bring it all down if he wanted.
He clearly doesn't want to (I.e. Pest control, no print releases, selling to the rich). My question is why as this seems to directly conflict with so many of his themes...

Thats my point. His prices wouldn't be so high if he actually releases art. As someone mentioned earlier the model from Shep is there.
Sure some works will be more expensive then others and sure many would still be out of reach for most.
I don't get the whole he's protecting from flipping. Flipping still happens with his works.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Happy Shopper on Apr 12, 2017 11:58:33 GMT 1, If you can't afford an unsigned or signed print, then buy a ยฃ10 poster from Pictures on Walls... there's your open edition for you. (4 of them in fact).
If you've a little more cash, get a Soup Can, Petrol Bomb, Barely Legal or Monkey Parliament poster off a member here or ebay.
Take a Dismaland t-shirt and wrap it around a canvas frame!
Buy an Exit Through The Gift Shop 1 Sheet or Quad.
Flatten a "Forgive Us..." Don't Panic poster.
Frame a Blur Poster, or a few 7 or 12" singles!
There are plenty of ways to put an official Banksy on your wall without breaking the bank.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by loother on Apr 12, 2017 11:59:28 GMT 1, Yeah, Banksy no longer releases prints at prices that make them affordable to the masses, and he used to once upon a time. But that's not all he used to do and no longer does - he used to produce dozens and dozens of street pieces every year, many of them very trivial in size and meaning, and now he very occasionally puts something out there, always in a very considered location and always with a strong message. He's a very different artist now. I'd like him to sell me some cheap prints, and flicking through his books also makes me nostalgic for the days when he was doing a lot more street work and was happy to play for nothing more complicated than laughs, but some of the stuff he's done over the last couple of years - Gaza, Dismaland, Bethlehem - is so much more impressive than that, and more important.
If he was still spraying rats and selling prints we'd probably be criticising his lack of imagination. He's moved on, and his fans should too.
Yeah, Banksy no longer releases prints at prices that make them affordable to the masses, and he used to once upon a time. But that's not all he used to do and no longer does - he used to produce dozens and dozens of street pieces every year, many of them very trivial in size and meaning, and now he very occasionally puts something out there, always in a very considered location and always with a strong message. He's a very different artist now.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by vulva on Apr 12, 2017 12:14:56 GMT 1, Hey, what about my needs? I want someone to give me flowers and buy me a hot cocoa, someone that makes me feel smart and funny just the way I am, a best friend a lover, WHY am I denied that?? So many men out there, I should be entitled that!! It's my right.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by milo99 on Apr 12, 2017 12:32:00 GMT 1, If you can't afford an unsigned or signed print, then buy a ยฃ10 poster from Pictures on Walls... there's your open edition for you. (4 of them in fact). If you've a little more cash, get a Soup Can, Petrol Bomb, Barely Legal or Monkey Parliament poster off a member here or ebay. Take a Dismaland t-shirt and wrap it around a canvas frame! Buy an Exit Through The Gift Shop 1 Sheet or Quad. Flatten a "Forgive Us..." Don't Panic poster. Frame a Blur Poster, or a few 7 or 12" singles! There are plenty of ways to put an official Banksy on your wall without breaking the bank.
The people moaning would be first in queue to flip any prints that they did get

Just remember, it's greed that put an end to all of this when adults were fighting in the streets and moaning like children about things being 'fair'.

I genuinely don't think I'm entitled to anything. It would just be nice to have the opportunity to to own something directly from him without having to be minted. Others have mentioned that there are many other things relating to banksy which have a lot lower entry level i.e. Books, posters, records etc all of which I have. I also understand that the best way to see his art is on the street, shows and exhibitions all of which I have done. ๐๐ฝ

Those who don't think he's commercially driven are crazy.

Does banksy make art anymore?
He never releases prints. He rarely paints on walls.
However he does seem to be trying to bring peace to Jerusalem and comment on corporations.
I wish banksy would just make art.

It would be nice indeed, and as much I would love to see a release, we have to be realistic, what would be the chance to score one of those when you can not even score a Martin Whatson on release, flippers would be all other in no time, and everybody would end up being more frustrated!
The more I read this thread, the more I think: Who are we to know better how Banksy should run his artistic and business career! His career looks pretty successfull to me!
