Banksy Police Riot Van โข Gift Print, by LJCal on Nov 18, 2020 15:47:47 GMT 1, Hi all
I am wondering if someone can help me. I'm looking at a the Police Riot gift print. I have been told that the print is hand finished, can anyone confirm if this is the case? I'm also not sure of edition size. In terms of provenance I am buying from a reputable dealer who is providing wrist bands from the event and the pay slip of the employee, anything else people typically look for with these?
If anyone would be willing to share some high res pictures and dimensions of an authentic one in private that would also be much appreciated, obviously without pest control I need to carry out extensive checks to authenticate and photos would be a big help.
Thanks in advance.

Banksy Police Riot Van โข Gift Print, by Graham H on Nov 18, 2020 17:44:05 GMT 1, Just to add to the comment below.. The comment isnt strictly true, not every one is hand embellished other than a pen mark through the eyes of the person on the slide ( no idea why??!!)..the dedication and the artist signature
You can see this on the one in Tate Ward.. this has no other Hand Embellishment on it other than the pen mark on the eyes ( the auction house appear to have removed the sig and dedicated name on the image )
www.artsy.net/artwork/banksy-police-riot-van-dismaland-gift-print-8
Other hand finishing includes CND signs, love hearts, flowers, Anarchy Signs on the side or front of the van. Some have one addition others have multiple eg a Love Heart and a Flower..but there are just as many non hand finished as there are with hand finished elements.
You can see this from examples below.. the first being hand finished, the second having no hand finishing - I think this has the most hand finishing ive seen.. with mostly only one element rather than three or four on this example ( Anarchy / Flower / CND )
The question then leads to if there is more value for ones with more hand finishing... The jury is out..
Good luck in your search

Banksy Police Riot Van โข Gift Print, by craigf on Nov 18, 2020 22:51:35 GMT 1, I bought a few back in the day, sourced for friends and kept a couple for myself. The level of hand finishing varies a lot, the line across the eyes I think is printed rather than hand finished (not looked at one for ages so could be wrong). I mainly got payslips as provenance, but have one which was gifted for a different reason, but got appropriate alternative support, plus by then I'd seen quite a few

Both look legit to me but what do I know... maybe take it to pest control for a COA, Iโm sure they would authenticate it, good luck ๐

One thing not mentioned is that they should come in the grey gloss frame they were supplied in..which dont appear to be branded and are a bit cheapo.. but thats all part of the dismal experience I suppose..

Not every staff member received a print they needed to work at least a certain amount of hours to get one thatโs why thereโs not as many of these as people think. Also when these were gifted they came in a white bag with the staff members name on not everyone kept these bags. Most of the paper wristbands you see were the same ones as given to visitors so they canโt really be used as provenance. There was two staff wristbands made of cloth material neither were issued to dismal staff. One is black which Iโm sure most people have seen and a much rarer red and gold cloth wristband which is rocking horse shit
And this is how fake news spreads. All it takes is an inaccuracy stated with authority. Especially an inaccuracy like this one, which contains enough truth to make the rest seem extremely plausible.
There were indeed cloth wristbands, worn by many of the permanent crew with positions of greater responsibility.
There were also โpaperโ crew/visitor wristbands, worn by many other crew members. These were given out each day to people on that dayโs roster, which was, generally, checked quite thoroughly to make sure only legitimate crew members and visitors got them. They were emphatically not the same as the ones given to the public. A unique design was distributed each day to ensure the band was only valid on that day, and that people couldnโt easily fake a band for subsequent days. They had to be different to the public wristbands because they allowed access to the crew area (and they were always checked).
I have a fair few of them, from which people can probably figure out how I can be certain of all this.
Also, not all gift prints were handed out in white, named bags. Many were, but others werenโt.
A definitive edition size is almost impossible to determine, but I would imagine itโs a little over the generally touted 50 or so, since an unknowable number were gifted to people who made a valuable contribution to the project without necessarily having an on-site role.

There was two staff wristbands made of cloth material neither were issued to dismal staff. One is black which Iโm sure most people have seen and a much rarer red and gold cloth wristband which is rocking horse shit And this is how fake news spreads. All it takes is an inaccuracy stated with authority. Especially an inaccuracy like this one, which contains enough truth to make the rest seem extremely plausible. There were indeed cloth wristbands, worn by many of the permanent crew with positions of greater responsibility. There were also โpaperโ crew/visitor wristbands, worn by many other crew members. These were given out each day to people on that dayโs roster, which was, generally, checked quite thoroughly to make sure only legitimate crew members and visitors got them. They were emphatically not the same as the ones given to the public. A unique design was distributed each day to ensure the band was only valid on that day, and that people couldnโt easily fake a band for subsequent days. They had to be different to the public wristbands because they allowed access to the crew area (and they were always checked). I have a fair few of them, from which people can probably figure out how I can be certain of all this. Also, not all gift prints were handed out in white, named bags. Many were, but others werenโt. A definitive edition size is almost impossible to determine, but I would imagine itโs a little over the generally touted 50 or so, since an unknowable number were gifted to people who made a valuable contribution to the project without necessarily having an on-site role.
