Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Pysgod on Apr 12, 2017 17:35:44 GMT 1, I wish Ferrari would release some cheaper cars! This makes no sense. So banksy is now a multi billion dollar company which releases products to the rich only. Wait actually that does make sense.
You wouldn't know sense if it slapped you in the face !
So....If Banksy was to release a print just to shut people like you up What price do you think he should sell them ?

Comparing banksy to Ferrari doesn't make sense. That's like comparing banksy to McDonald's or Disney world. Think that's okay? Lol
Honestly the problem has been confounded by his refusal to release prints for years and his control of his market. That's my issue and a legit reason for critique.
Why didn't banksy continue to release prints at any where between 500-1000?

I don't know. He screwed up the market. I see no reason why he couldn't sell prints for the same cost as many other artists. Between 300-1000.
Him managing the market for years makes the idea of him now releasing a print challenging. Context matters.
Now answer my question.

Banksy didn't screw anything up, all anxious consumers did.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by warsaw project on Apr 12, 2017 18:10:48 GMT 1, He doesnt owe anyone anything in my opinion !
If anyone is that desperate for a print they are not that out of reach. Ive got a calander from a moody market stall in london, always makes me smile over coffee when i look at it. Would i purchase a Banksy print for 5k plus absolutely not...
Ive enjoyed watching him evolve over the years, Botti was a massive give back to the fans 30 days in NYC, even enjoyed from my sofa, Dismaland, and now a Hotel in Palestine which I am going to visit next month, after all these years it will be my 1st Banksy experience,
He doesnt have to produce artwork for us to buy.... Just as long as he gets up in what ever style, ill be happy

500-1000 will never happen again. Look at KAWS. He has tried to price his prints at market value and they have only gone up in prices. What does KAWS charge now? 10k+ Banksy could charge that and still sell out an edition in seconds.

He could release a print edition of 1k and price it at 10k each and it would melt the internet ( if he chose to release it that way ) .....
I think Banksy doesn't give two hoots what people on this forum think and who are mad with the situation of passing on a flags for 3k ....

Maybe.
But if he's been releasing prints for the last years at normal rates do you still think the prices would be so high?

Yes. Continuing with my example of KAWS, look at his output in recent years. It has produced more and at cost prices still rise.

On the average at least 2 prints a year. Reports were that his last print was priced with an opening cost of over 10k. KAWS now releases prints through Pace which raises their prices as the edition sells out.

Hm interesting. Seems a little weird that the price changes as it sells. Darn Pace.
Two prints isn't that many though. If banksy had been releasing 5 prints a year for the last 7 years there's no way prices would be where they are at now.
The amount of images banksy has come up with it would be hard for him to only release 5 prints. How many does shep release a year? Like a million?

Maybe there's a habit you should consider quitting? You have become quite passive aggressive. People start to run out of patience and fucks. I doubt that is your intention?

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Amber Halo on Apr 12, 2017 20:41:38 GMT 1, Dear Banksy -
I'm not sure you if you remember me. But my name is Joe, and most people describe me as an average guy.
I love the urban art scene, and you've always been my favorite. I've been following your work for about 15 years and still recall hovering over the purchase button on POW's website when you released 150 signed copies of Girl With Ballon for ยฃ150.
I never did hit that buy button, even though those prints remained unsold for quite awhile. I can't exactly say why now. Perhaps it felt like too much money for a piece of paper with just two colors on it? Perhaps I thought your career was destined to end up in the toilet and I'd lose my ยฃ150 investment? Or perhaps I just didn't feel like supporting a young artist in a time when he probably needed it the most?
But I digress. Back to me and my needs...
If you have an empathetic bone in your body, you'd probably know that the escalation in the value of your work has left me feeling hollow; I'm haunted by feelings that I "missed out." I know you've gone through great efforts to make public art displays. But that still doesn't fill the void. But what might make me partially whole again is if you made a completely new signed 24-hour print release.
If you are really from the street, and you're a normal guy who wants to "do good," then this seems like the very least you could do for true fans like me.
Unless, what they say about you is true -- you haven't forgotten about us average Joes have you Banksy?
Sincerely
Joe

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Laugh Now 10 on Apr 12, 2017 20:55:42 GMT 1, Hm interesting. Seems a little weird that the price changes as it sells. Darn Pace. Two prints isn't that many though. If banksy had been releasing 5 prints a year for the last 7 years there's no way prices would be where they are at now. The amount of images banksy has come up with it would be hard for him to only release 5 prints. How many does shep release a year? Like a million? Anyone know how many dumbo prints he sold to VIPs?
I think there are 25 dumbos, some inscribed and some not.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by lucky7 on Apr 12, 2017 20:56:42 GMT 1, dismaland tickets were what 3 pounds? there's 30 dollar bunk beds at walled off better out than in was a month long free event.. seems plenty accessible for those that dont want to spend large sums..
Banksy is Banksy, and he does what he wants. Who said he was or must be the man from the streets?
But you are looking at things completely wrong. Dismaland and hotel are not comercial enterprises per se.
I think their main point is self promotion, then, they are works of art by themselves, finally, they are political commentary. Banksy is good at erasing the limits of these things. That's why he is succesful and like him (politics less than the others, but ok).
It's not like, "Oooh, Banksy is so nice and altruistic, he charges 3ยฃ per ticket". You are perpetuating the misconception that started this thread, the idea that B is like some sort of charity. He is not especially selfless, nothing wrong with that. And he doesn't owe anyone anything.
How much tickets or accomodations are worth is besides the point. He needs the people to go to dismaland, the more the better.
It's silly to think Banksy is running a B&B, even if he charged 1k (either in dismaland or woh) he probably would not turn a profit; the value is somewhere else.
He doesnt make it cheap or free because he is a nice guy (or a bad one).

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by maddoghoek100 on Apr 12, 2017 22:20:30 GMT 1, what a strange discussion, Banksy is far better for the average joe than just about any artist i can imagine. He openly gives away his imagery for FREE and has steadfastly refused to peruse infringement claims against the huge numbers of outlets producing high quality works using his imagery. Now that is street.
you could buy this sweet flower bomber pillow:
shop.bbcicecream.com/products/banksy-flower-bomber-cushion
or this sweet monkey pillow that just reeks of average joe
shop.bbcicecream.com/products/plush-monkey-sign
has banksy forgotten about the middle income collectors hoping to make a profit on the sale of his signed works, the answer is yes. He is selling his editioned work to high income collectors at full market or above market price.

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by oxfordwelshchap on Apr 12, 2017 22:48:42 GMT 1, If you're a huge fan buy a fantastic quality reproduction on Ebay and hang it. You're not entitled to a small fortune for being a fan of an artist.
If you're a huge fan buy a fantastic quality reproduction on Ebay and hang it. You're not entitled to a small fortune for being a fan of an artist. Why are you? Just because you have more money than someone else. Counterintuitive point you have made and way off the OPs original point |

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by oxfordwelshchap on Apr 12, 2017 22:56:08 GMT 1, I don't understand the self entitlement being shown here. Banksy makes Art, not lungs or cancer cures... the thirst for making profit from someone else's skills are blatant. 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'.

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 can assure you (not sure reassure is the correct term) that there are similar profit making vested interests in medicine and 'cancer cures' probably more so than in the art scene! |

Has Banksy forgotten about your average Joe?, by Dibbs 45 on Apr 12, 2017 23:40:09 GMT 1, I got to page five and then skipped to the end as the usual themes repeated themselves. I think one things for certain with banksy and that is he must sit with his team and laugh his head off at the phenomenon he has created and the speculation, critiquing and debate that comes from his work. This middle aged man is no doubt with his family doing normal (dare I say it average joe) things. Perhaps meeting up me Albarn and Del naja for the odd pint. Of course popping out occasionally to speak his mind through his work.
Enjoy his work or don't. Fuck me life is more important than a group of art anoraks and investors debating regurgitated discussions that someone decides to brush the cobwebs of once more to start again. You make money good for you. You enjoy his work good for you. You want to see a new print, well too much has gone before I think for that to happen. I'm sure when all is said and done he doesn't give a shit as he probably thinks more about what he wants to say in his work than the circus that surrounds it.
