Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by jp on Feb 12, 2020 23:54:18 GMT 1, That's why I believe other works/prints will become more valuable than GWRB as the market matures
You don't think the Banksy print market is mature 16 years after GWRB was released? Even with dedicated print auctions now held regularly at both Christies and Sothebys?
How many more years do you think are needed for his market to mature?

Correct, I don't think his market is mature yet. 16 years is nothing in art market history. Check where Banksy stands in the top selling 500 living artists vs where he should be (if like me you think he is one of the most important living artists)...

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by esfer on Feb 13, 2020 2:58:56 GMT 1, I don't necessarily hate the image, but if somebody told me that it wasn't actually designed by Banksy, I would be tempted to believe it.
I have never understood the "social commentary" of this piece.
IMO.The heart shaped balloon flying away in the wind, with a bandaid on the side, speaks much more to me. The girl is not needed.
I do think the shredded version is classic.

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by alvington89 on Feb 13, 2020 13:16:14 GMT 1, I can remember (back in the day) standing outside Art Republic in Brighton one evening and in the window were 2 original hand sprayed 'Girl with Balloon' canvasses. About 600mm square. £ 450.00 each. I remarked to my wife how expensive I thought they were (LOL!)

But in reality I would have thought exactly the same and walked on.
I never heard about Banksy until 2015 or so, so no Banksy regrets here.

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by gorkie on Jul 15, 2020 20:02:58 GMT 1, Hi all-
I am helping a friend who wants to purchase a signed Banksy Girl With Balloon from the edition of 150 (Red).
Must be signed, stamped and with Pest Control COA and in perfect condition.
Can be framed or unframed.
They are willing to pay up to $330k USD to shake one loose.
They will also handle all shipping details/expenses.
I will not be involved at all with the transaction. That will be between you and them and you will work
directly with each other.
If you have one and are interested in selling please reach out to me ASAP.
They are looking to act quickly.
This is very serious and very real so please hold back with any silly, pessimistic or doubtful comments.
Thank you

Prefer stamped.
But if you have an unstamped one, please go ahead and still reach out to me.

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Poster Bob on Jul 15, 2020 22:11:51 GMT 1, Anyone who puts in a strong offer for a signed GWB has an extremely sound understanding of the art market.
If this is the only thing you can think of buying with $330k, you either have a lack of imagination, don't understand art or the art market at all, or have been turned away from good galleries and can't buy anything on primary anyway. Usually inherited wealth hype-beast type

Or they can do as they please with their money. Lol there's always someone with unnecessary negativity in this forum.

Everyone’s welcome to an opinion on a forum.
Whether it be total bollox or not is fine too. 👌🏻

GWB obviously THE iconic image. But KOG hand sprayed, on canvas, and smaller edition.
FIGHT!

I think that’s cheap for a kids on guns canvas. I thought they were more around £500,000?

Sounds like the buyer had a result and the seller had a mare.
Good placement !
