Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by sfnyc on Feb 12, 2020 18:52:41 GMT 1, 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....

Has / will / will always be his most famous piece. Thatโs set in stone. Agreed. Anyone I talk to about art, may not know banksy by name even, but when I show them this specific image a light bulb goes off. Everyone has seen this image at some point and then can immediately associate the two. |

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. |

15 years later I spend ยฃ500 on a door mat and sheโs cool with it.

I would always take GWB over any other print.
CWSB is my second favorite followed by stop and search

And to buy a set of the more meaningful, deeper works of art that the man from Bristol has proven can produce.

If you had a canvas you could pretty much buy all of his other prints

I chose Laugh Now, as Iโd seen a version of it outside The End nightclub. While financially it wasnโt the best decision, Iโm still glad I brought Laugh Now as it reminds me of some brilliant hedonistic times.

Laugh Now to me is the most classic Banksy image for me, followed by the rats.

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

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.
