Banksy Grappling Hook, by maven on May 15, 2018 19:32:45 GMT 1, Just my opinion, but this crucifix grappling hook is ugly and doesn't seem to have any of the hallmarks of Banksy artwork...i.e. not spray paint and stencils. Why would anyone want it in their house, particularly if they don't have room for it?

Personally, I think it hits the nail on the head in a very succinct way, typical for Banksy.

You do realise it comes in a large box with four sides of hand sprayed stencils adorning it?

Agree with you !
Juvenile delinquent is playing ( mocking ? ) with the old guards from here ( itโs not pejorative ) .
He wants to know how much he has in hands in his poor little single room...
he is testing us.
This hook is a hoax.
He still can use this hook for fishing the wrath of gods , or fishfingers without the plastic bag ..
Do you know what ( you will adore this ) : i m quite sure that you have in hands billions of dollars ! Happy now ?
Just saying, in fact you want tell the world that you have a rare Banksy and a lot of money .,, ๐

Donโt see these grappling hooks skyrocketing in value.

I still find it bizarre that CWSB price hasnt taken off like other prints have done in recent times.

This.
It has 4 hand sprayed banksy Stencils on the side. That's 4 OG's right there + you have the hook.
I absolutely love it thought and what it represents.

I think the box, itโs images and how they relate to whatโs inside is an intrinsic part of the artwork. As deranged as it sounds 48k was a steal.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, spends ยฃ40k (assume you didnโt have to pay the vat in the US) on art that doesnโt fit in their home. Why bother saying that? Your original post on the hook was all about value.
Donโt be offended that folk dig you out a little. You placed a NOT for sale but worried about my retirement cash โadvertโ in the for sale section of a web site. Were you hoping for a few offers to settle the nerves.
Anyway, all is good and Iโm sure that your investment is sound. Shame that Banksy doesnโt produce a portfolio report like you get with stocks and shares.

Banksy Grappling Hook, by Lroy on May 16, 2018 7:17:45 GMT 1, I bought the house too, just very small. I'm honestly not an experienced collector and literally have very little space. Was just curious on what the best approach was. I don't need the cash right now but I also do not want to worry about it getting damaged. I'll take some pics and post soon. Thanks for all the advice!* *Can without fail count on a few people to have some sarcastic / angry / rude comments on here too, always fun too read lol.ย
my comment was not angry rude nor sacarstic : just, your first post is very weird ( we. An find all the questions and anecdotes from a private seller at a flea market ). As you said, still no photos ( did you open the cardboard ? ) ... I was just wondering if you was not testing ยซย us ยป ...
Anyway I read an ยซย op ยป or ยซ og ยป in this conversation, I even donโt know what it is ...
But your pseudo, your little house, your age, your questions, your collector side, are you not this one from Bristol
that several know here ?
Never mind and good luck ( I really donโt lnow what you asking for, but thatโs alright )

That being said with hindsight I think you will be fine as I don't know anyone that has bought anything from this artist at primary and lost money.

Banksy Grappling Hook, by irl1 on May 16, 2018 8:32:21 GMT 1, Thanks. I think most people as some stage buy a piece for investment and then spend months thinking "did i do the right thing". Spur of the moment buys are never a good thing (unless you really like it), more so if its a big outlay. This one i would imagine should at least get your return back, but not having the COA yet won't help. I was keeping an eye out to see when the first one of these would come up in auction/for sale. Take your time with it and see what offers you get. I'm sure you will get a few P.M.s over the next while with some offers or Galleries looking to sell it for you. Best of luck with it. (yes throw up a few pictures when you get a chance)

I loved the grappling hook in its original context just a few metres away from the separation wall. It seemed 'right'. Not sure how it would translate to my house in leafy England though.

At B prices now, and when they're bought for display, the choice pretty much needs to be a 'shared' one, including partner and factoring in any children that may be around the place. Some term it 'wall friendly'. I loved the grappling hook in its original context just a few metres away from the separation wall. It seemed 'right'.

I'd love to see one on someones wall. would look great in a warehouse conversion, converted church etc. a 'normal' house, maybe not so much? "Show me your grappling hook fitted to your wall"

What was the process for Buying these, when they were available from the gift shop at the Hotel? Are you sure these were available from the gift shop? I know they were on the website shop and marked sold out but i never seen one for sale when i was there. You had to put your name down for the lottery for the signed ones, but was there any unsigned ones in the shop before theses signed ones. Also has anyone seen one for sale or auction before this one? |
