He does...looking to sell quickly as well

Been offered GWRB in both canvas and print a few years back, considered it because it was a Banksy "classic" but never went for it as I always found the work less strong than his other pieces + so many iterations of it around...

Now had I known the prices GWRB go for these days, I may have reconsidered - but still would likely not hang it up for taste reasons. 

And I have a feeling this won't be his most famous / popular work in the future... I mean it would almost be an insult to the artist if that piece became his most famous after his death....

Definitely towards the lower end of my Liked Banksy images.

I don't think the print is particularly impressive but it looked great in situ on Upper Street in Islington which really raises the question about the efficacy of transferring street art to a paper form.   

what fraction of its estimated value would you bid at auction ?

I wouldn't bid one-zillionth the price

BTW your trolls are 60% better than most

Cheers.

best, no. most iconic, YES

it's definitely boring relative to other pieces but that's how it goes... Music industry is the same, often the singles are arguably not the best songs but they get the most attention, that's GWRB for Banksy

I would always take GWB over any other print.

CWSB is my second favorite followed by stop and search

It will always be his most famous for various reasons but for me far down the list of my favourites. It’s a safe non threatening image which is probably why it has wider appeal than some of his other pieces.

I had the chance to buy GWRB or Laugh Now from POW back in the day.

I chose Laugh Now, as I’d seen a version of it outside The End nightclub. While financially it wasn’t the best decision, I’m still glad I brought Laugh Now as it reminds me of some brilliant hedonistic times.

Great choice!

LN is also top 5 of his images for me, Happy Choppers, Barcode, Grin Reaper and maybe CYW...

All these years later I'm still drawn to the simple elegance and class of that image. Stops me in my tracks on certain days and makes me smile. You can't do dirty, brawny work all the time and adds a nice balance to the oeuvre. Like having julia and helter skelter on the same album not that a few dozen die-hard opinions matter much anymore.

>>>That's why I believe other works/prints will become more valuable than GWRB as the market matures<<<<

That's going to be tough from my vantage point due to shredding. There isn't anything remotely close at this point in time and I, for one, don't see that gap narrowing but I've been wrong more times than i can count. Nice to read various opinions just the same.  Edit- perhaps that chucker triptych in the years to come might narrow the gap but i can't envision much else that's already out there.  It's been 15+ years now that it's appealed to a wider audience than most.
