Banksy - 'At Your Head' - Possible Original, by mose on Aug 3, 2017 20:10:49 GMT 1, From my understanding, there is no chance of getting authentication even if you had video of Banksy making the piece. rocking a Massive Attack hoodie, and holding up two forms of government ID, with his grandmother there confirming his identity.
Further, you might end up with a bit of as**tstorm heading your way. It happens. The topic of street pieces/authentication/fakes gets the forums riled up.
Best of luck any which way.

Banksy - 'At Your Head' - Possible Original, by Daniel Silk on Aug 3, 2017 20:13:00 GMT 1, No way that's by Banksy.
Look at the font, it's just a printed sign.

Banksy - 'At Your Head' - Possible Original, by BayTar on Aug 3, 2017 20:14:27 GMT 1, Fair! I accept that. Tbh i'm just more interested and curious to thrash out to what it actually is - even though the chance it may be by B is remote.
Certainly not a fake as i'm not presenting it as a fully fledged Banksy original - I don't have the time or the effort to go to those lengths.

Banksy - 'At Your Head' - Possible Original, by Eric Pause on Aug 3, 2017 20:28:04 GMT 1, Taking a look at the video link you posted, it seems a lot of those signs are quotes from famous people that have been broken up onto multiple signs.
My guess is that particular sign that you have is the final words in Banksy's Wall and Peace quote:
"Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.โ
The 26 on the back is most likely the order it's supposed to go in.
My guess is that it's just a quote that someone at the festival liked and decided to put up, and has nothing to do with Banksy himself.

Banksy has had more than one signature style.
But as another member pointed out, this seems to be more of a printed quote using a different font for each artist.
Still kinda cool though.

yes, of course B had more than a single signature style but his letters do have certain "movements" to them and, based on this, I'd wager a bet that a signature expert would be able to 100% conclude that this "possible Banksy" is a fake - but fun, nonetheless

Banksy - 'At Your Head' - Possible Original, by rockbeer on Aug 4, 2017 8:51:33 GMT 1, It's not a signature.
Compare the three As with each other, and the two Ys. Identical in both cases. The human hand doesn't work like that - this sig has been 'typeset' and printed from a computer - no hand was involved in writing the letters.

Banksy - 'At Your Head' - Possible Original, by Cookiemonster on Aug 4, 2017 9:05:00 GMT 1, Banksy was at Burning Man in 2001 and did a series of collabs with Maya Hayuk. Its obvious the op is trying to palm this off as a Banksy, and for those that dont know, will probably end up trying to buy it off him.

Very true.
