Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by hesuhesu on Nov 24, 2017 15:21:06 GMT 1, Received on Tues. in Massachusetts. mid 200s. It's crackin and I'm over the moon.
Remember sitting at the computer ~10 years ago on the POW site trying to decide between Banksy's barcode leopard vs. Eelus Shat-at. I went with the later. Been a long time waiting for a second chance to come around...

It was awhile ago but I remember that early on, Banksy's prints did sit for more than a nanosecond on POW. I may be mixing up my prints though. Regardless, genuinely excited. |

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by Unica on Nov 24, 2017 21:00:17 GMT 1, I’m amazed (and impressed) that not one of these have gone on eBay. Any framed up yet?
I’m amazed (and impressed) that not one of these have gone on eBay. Any framed up yet? I'm not surprised its difficult to sell for top money without the COA, most who bought to flip will wait two years and get the COA and then cash out for the big money. At the moment a buyer isn't going to pay much for one without COA, as who know if PC will issue to anyone other than original buyer. Just to much risk to pay a lot for one at the moment. |

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Nov 24, 2017 22:48:02 GMT 1, My mate just sent me pictures of his sales end, he just received it and went straight to the framers. Looks great. He hasn't kept intouch with prices over the years and was shocked when I said how much it could be worth.. so that's one going up on the wall out of the 500 👍

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by met on Nov 24, 2017 22:50:12 GMT 1, There are too many variables with framing to give you a clear price estimate. It will depend on your choice of framer. Some are far more experienced, knowledgeable and skilled than others. They may also have access to very impressive facilities and larger product ranges. The framing techniques and materials you opt for will of course affect pricing as well. As far as materials are concerned, the most significant cost will be the glazing. Prices here vary widely, even between glazing that shares similar properties. For example, UV acrylic tends to be noticeably more expensive than UV glass. When investing in quality framing for a print the size of Sale Ends, the £500 mark can easily be reached if you choose anti-reflective, UV acrylic. [...] I dont suppose you have any suggestions on best cleaning products for museum glass please met ? Sorry to hijack the thread but whilst we're talking conservation.... any advice greatly appreciated, thanks
For specialty glazing like Tru Vue Museum Glass, in the first instance, try using a clean, dry microfibre cloth. The advantage of using just a cloth (without a liquid product) is that it minimises the potential for streaking.
The softer-weave microfibre cloths are the ones I'd go for, i.e. those specifically manufactured for delicate glass products like camera lenses and eye glasses. Here's an example produced by e-cloth:
www.e-cloth.com/screen-and-lens-range/glasses-cloth-specs
If the cloth on its own doesn't clean your glazing sufficiently, use it with an optical glass cleaner. You'll find different ones available on the market. Apply the cleaner to the cloth, rather than spraying it directly onto the glazing.
NB: Do not use regular glass cleaners for specialty glazing. Some of them contain ammonia or other abrasive ingredients that are unsuitable for delicate and coated glass or acrylic.

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by Lunch Special on Nov 25, 2017 0:16:53 GMT 1, The hate is so real in this thread it's scary. Honestly speaking. Do you think that in a years time there will be a dramatic drop in banksy sale end prices bc people wil be able to get a COA? The way the project champions crew on this forum is so amazing. Could you talk down a print anymore? How many of you try to downplay a print to then buy it up? It's all too obvious here and to say that the print is worthless without a coa is just trying to misinform the new comers, new collectors and new fans. Or maybe you're right. I will only be able to get my £500 back in a year or so.
Are you all serious or seriously inebriated? Look at the £5 tesco print. Unnumbered unsigned impossible to get provenance. How much are those selling for again? Monkey Parliament unsigned unnumbered £10 originally? Probably my favorite image of all time after laugh now.
Keep downplaying the artist and the art. It's no wonder some didn't get picked. Now I'm thinking there was a vetting process.

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by jaym3 on Nov 25, 2017 0:28:17 GMT 1, Most of the talk around this print has focused on it's monetary value on the secondary market, very little on the artist or the subject. It seems POW was right in their reasoning to close up shop. It really has become all about the dollar. If this print was worth £10 I wonder how many people would be actually have it hanging up on their wall.

I get it, and your sentiment is not wrong... but what are you expecting from an image that has been out there for 10 years?
The money-hungry leech culture sucks, but it's never going to go away.
Regardless, message of this image is pretty clear anyway and I don't think the irony of it is really lost one anyone. Those looking to buy/sell/speculate just don't care.
If it was worth £10, people would be flogging it for £400+ to those whole would hang it on their walls.

They are as much of the botheration as much as those who just loquate about value.
This image is 10 years old, i am guessing the discussion about meaning was done back then. Perhaps someone can find the thread but i bet you £10 its exactly the same patter though about prices.
A few have rose tinted glasses to what it was like here akin like some geriatric, self righteous art expert.
In reality it is the same as it has always been, it’s just much louder with them moaning about it in a diversionary manner to those who just want to know information about what their investment is worth... as lets be honest no one spends £20k on a picture to look nice on the wall unless you are elon musk.
i would say most of those people would also participate in image meaning if it was inviting to them to participate rather than forcing them to because thats what they ‘should be doing’.

If someone wants to hear something different maybe they should talk about something different. I think it's a bit disappointing for some when those who were lucky enough to own one of these prints to only seem to focus on what it's worth. That's just the way it is I guess.

From my vantage point there was more educated passion on average here 10 years ago unless I'm confusing time and the exodus to wallkandy hastened from heavy banning had already begun by that point. There were intelligent and dedicated collectors whose voices were silenced both reasonably and unreasonably at times. An unintended consequence of which results in muted and narrowed discussion with fewer dissenting opinions that change anyone's mind or open new doors of perception. It's certainly not the fault of the artists discussed but it's hardly the same as it ever was at this site.
I don't consider sale ends to be among the best work in his cannon visually as I often struggle with religious references in art. However, it's certainly timely and no denying the meaning is more true today on a number of levels of interpretation than when it was first released. That adds weight of impact to the image that I enjoy.

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by d.r. perseus on Nov 25, 2017 5:37:31 GMT 1, Consumerism is the new diety. The new religion. Sales offering discount salvation and joy through goods, thus the sale ending brings grief.
But how much is it worth?! What number did you get?! How much of a banksy fan are you!!!?
Does getting this image at what would be a massive discount price add to my narrative? Irony? Satire? With a massive secondary market prospective buyers will be less than impressed hype....but the sale IS hype.
Congrats to pow on the long run!

Banksy • Sale Ends Today, by v00d00 on Nov 25, 2017 6:41:47 GMT 1, Thanks for the advice re the different types of glass. Can someone give me an indication of price to get this frame printed, if i were to go down the museum glass etc... Going for quality framing (instead of cutting corners) is a financial sacrifice. It is often accompanied by a certain level of resentment — especially when the cost of framing approaches or exceeds the cost of the actual artwork. But this is also a sacrifice I am convinced is worth making. For me, it's comparable to investing in a good suit that I'll wear and appreciate for many years to come. Good luck.
Thank you for this advice. I dropped mine at the framers yesterday and ended up with something very similar to your specs. Spent a bit of time looking at ornate frames which actually really worked with the image and the biblical figures, but went for simpler black to fit in with our place. Have brought plenty of art before but nothing of significant value (just local stuff I personally liked). By far the most expensive framing I've ever done, but I think worth it to keep the print at it's best.
This is an interesting thread. From an outsiders view, I think Banksy would read through some of these comments and just point to the print.
I'm not a 'collector', more a filthy casual who appreciates Bankys work and entered the lottery not expecting to get a look in. Was stoked to get the opportunity, as the Sale Ends image and the message behind it is really quite nice. Personally, it's going in my studio room so I make sure I think twice before purchasing anything online (my one remaining vice)! Perhaps this offends those who take this a whole lot more seriously, and in that case, I apologise.

From an outsiders view, I think Banksy would read through some of these comments and just point to the print. I'm not a 'collector', more a filthy casual who appreciates Bankys work and entered the lottery not expecting to get a look in. Was stoked to get the opportunity, as the Sale Ends image and the message behind it is really quite nice. Personally, it's going in my studio room so I make sure I think twice before purchasing anything online (my one remaining vice)! Perhaps this offends those who take this a whole lot more seriously, and in that case, I apologise. |
