Banksy Grappling Hook, by Gunny on May 27, 2020 9:17:12 GMT 1, These were not popular in the beginning as people were saying 'it's not typical Banksy'. The auction results were not that great due to the fact people did not know the market for them. However, since it was part of the Croydon Installation a lot more serious collectors seem to be wanting one. Not surprised as it's an amazing piece with four sprayed originals on the box. Next one at auction will be a lot lot more i would say!

i love this banksy sculpture, especially if you have been to the Walled off hotel.
strong strong artwork, to me it is a Banksy at his best.

How does anyone get on the direct banksy list?

It was £40k plus VAT. my bad You needed deap pockets to get one.... that's no 12 month credit card flex, although well worth having a clear out for. I was offered the chance to go 2's on one but passed. My mate just took it himself in the end and paid installments over 6 months. Its a great piece, saw one at Ely Cathedral last year and it looked amazing in that setting 👌, Its a museum quality artwork for sure. |

Each statue is the same but is handpainted resulting in variations between each piece. Its a stunning and serious piece in person.

Banksy Grappling Hook, by irl1 on Mar 10, 2021 20:22:01 GMT 1, The Bonham's one was two years ago and the first one to come to auction i think. I think there has only been two ever for sale and this was a long time ago. Baring in mind you could probably buy a lot of the unsigned prints for around 10k and signed between 15 - 30k at the time........... it's a different world now. He already has an offer of £300k but he wants at least £350k. Interesting comparison you draw. If my memory serves me correctly, these were around £37k when released back in 2017...back then you could by a Silver Flags for around £1k. Imagine if instead of the grappling hook you had bought 37 Silver Flags...you’d be sitting on around £1.1 million!
