Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Happy Shopper on Aug 5, 2024 17:31:06 GMT 1, Not my collection but does anyone know if Banksy actually paints these? If not why arenโt they signed by anyone? 
Made for him, but not by himโฆ so, no, not hand painted by Banksy.

Nope. Official Banksy editions come with a COA from Pest Control.
These are just nice looking, open edition, merchandise. But still sell for a fair amount (or used toโฆ Iโm not up to date on prices.)

Iโm not sure what your definition of open edition is (or isnโt), but I donโt think thereโs any end to them making these.
And no way of knowing how many have been made of any design.

Apparently the receipt says they are originals? Is that not what it means on the receipt?
From what I remember
Banksy designed the original wall and bit of rock in various sizes, then did some sketches of what to put on the wall
Then it was handed over to the Walled off hotel and local people then did the painting etc
The wall bits used to be individual bits stuck together with tape, then as time progressed and to make things easier from the production side they then made a mould with various wall lengths.
So yes they are all original, and no, they are not Banksy originals

Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Gunny on Aug 5, 2024 22:30:18 GMT 1, Banksy Wall pieces are designed by Banksy and painted by local artists (or most of them, rumours are Banksy painted some) and sold through the Banksy Hotel in Palestine. Official products from his hotel that come with the little Walled off hotel receipt. Some are more scarce than others, some have Banksy images, some don't, however they are all based on paintings on the separation wall. The are an official Banksy product from his hotel but don't come with a Pest Control Cert. These are long time sold out now and very unlikely there will be more to come. A bit like the Banksy Welcome Mat and other such things.

This person doesn't have a track record here. Not sure if you're attacking me here too, but it sure seems like you are with the ebay talk. The instagram account he was asking about isn't even mine and it looks like it hasn't posted in over a year but that didn't stop you lol. My instagram account is for my record label. Interestingly enough it actually looks like about half of my few posts here are defending myself from being attacked for my low post count ๐. What a forum.

You keep trying to insinuate that these are painted by the artist himself, which is laughable. There are hundreds, if not thousands of these out there, at different levels of quality. They are not even all painted by the same local artist, let alone Banksy.

You keep saying that the wall souvenirs were not attributed to anyone but they were. The website used to have a shop with details about the souvenirs, and the description said that they were painted by local artists. When the shop first opened in late 2017, other websites copied the text. You can still see that original description here for example: www.thisiscolossal.com/2018/04/walled-off-hotel-souvenir-series/You keep trying to insinuate that these are painted by the artist himself, which is laughable.

photos taken at the original WALLED OFF HOTEL shop may be a proof, but I wouldn't buy it without the confirmation received from the walled off hotel, there are too many fakes around specially on eBay.
To me those Banksy's Sculpture are always been underrated . Each one are different, designed by BANKSY and painted by Palestinian people.
Some are rarer then others and the ones with BANKSY art painted on it are the real deal to me.
Don't forget that those sculpture was available to purchase only if you stayed at walled off hotel and 1 piece per person (beside the ones sold online by the HOTEL when it was closed due to a pandemia).
So you had to travel all the way to the WOH to get your hand on it.
Deep meaning sculpture ,underrated Banksy piece compared to all the shitty edition sold lately this is an outstanding piece of art.
I'm sure that if you traveled to the WOH you agree with me,
Sad there is no more the WOH due to a terrorist state such Israel.

I'm not exactly sure why it was decided to to sell these in the way they did, but I assume it was so they were seen purely as a souvenir from a visit to the hotel, and not much more.
If you went and bought it in person, then you know you have something nice... but they have less resell value because you can't prove it, and they could be faked.

Under request you can submit and they will provide to confirm authentication.
So if you are looking to buy one on the secondary market just ask for the WOH authentication.
As a Banksy Sculpture I think it is undervalued because this is not a piece you would easily display in your living room specially nowadays with a genocide going one.
but that is a Banksy Sculpture at his best.

If they were numbered, with a matching COA then we'd be talking about a very different item... and a far higher price. I'm not exactly sure why it was decided to to sell these in the way they did, but I assume it was so they were seen purely as a souvenir from a visit to the hotel, and not much more. If you went and bought it in person, then you know you have something nice... but they have less resell value because you can't prove it, and they could be faked. lately the WOH team has provided a sort of COA for those souvenir. Under request you can submit and they will provide to confirm authentication. So if you are looking to buy one on the secondary market just ask for the WOH authentication. As a Banksy Sculpture I think it is undervalued because this is not a piece you would easily display in your living room specially nowadays with a genocide going one. but that is a Banksy Sculpture at his best.

Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Gunny on Aug 7, 2024 12:44:26 GMT 1, It is actually very easy to tell the fakes from the originals. They are not that easy to fake properly. The fake ones are thinner, not as heavy in many occasions, the large ones have a very ropey base which is easy to notice, the painted work in inferior, the little guy is not a proper little guy and is often built up to make it look like it - the real guy is more defined, had proper legs that are separate etc etc - i could go on and on. I have one of the biggest collections around, so if anyone wants any advice i am your man. Oh and the olive wood base one is authentic.

Banksy โข Souvenir Wall Sections, by Gunny on Aug 7, 2024 12:51:56 GMT 1, And there are many other Banksy items that do not come with a COA from PEST CONTROL - including loads of items from the GDP event, the mugs, the t-shirts, welcome mat etc etc - all the items are not all made by Banksy, but designed by him and produced through his studio - and sold through official channels, like the GDP event, Dismaland, Walled Off Hotel etc. The walls at the end were also not cheap at all to buy from source. In fact the standard 5 piece was ยฃ500 from source towards the last year of selling them. A great OFFICIAL product, from his own 'Banksy' Hotel - can't get any better than that. Just be careful and don't buy the ones people are offering for cheap and do your due diligence.
