Banksy Welcome Mat, by nobokov on Mar 25, 2020 14:57:17 GMT 1, This continues to be one of the most disturbing threads. No wonder artists dislike collectors. Artists don't dislike collectors. Arists don't dislike collectors' wallets

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Jaydog on Mar 25, 2020 18:28:37 GMT 1, Hmmm. I wonder why they changed the labels? Differentiate between original 1st edition of 500 and remainders? Personally don't like this toe tag looking thing. But obviously easier and faster for the craftswomen to attach. Original ones looked handsewn around all 4 edges. I have one from the second batch and the label is on the back numbered 550+

was kind of put off with the numbering being over 500, but some things are much more important than others. so just glad to get one at all.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Stonetown on Mar 27, 2020 15:26:16 GMT 1, Hopeful theory on why numbers of first edition are over 500... My hope is that the folks making these (and in the camps in general) were given the first bunch of these that were made. That only makes sense and would be a great housewarming present to them when they find themselves more established. Fingers crossed.

Nice idea but to be fair I don't think neither the refugee women making these mats or those living in the camps would even want one. Their priority is food, clean water and shelter.

For those who buy the mat for charity, because of the meaning, it's made with vests… here you have another chance of having something different, but with similarities

(And I think it's really beautiful)

I think I’m going to just nail mine to the wall. It’s such a visceral piece.

And yes I’m aware I my get some stick for this because of the good cause.

What are they protecting, a link between then and the artist/seller and their real/online identity?

Not at all.
Your a good guy, honest and generous to this. Maybe an email to explain your issue to them. They should be able to split into batches and sell more

Habit rather than anything. It’s good practice with ltd ed prints, especially high value ones - there was a time where copied pics of them appeared for sale as scams.

The scam bit confuses me as the numbers are never blocked out on big auction sites, and there is no watermark either.

I guess if someone knew the number of a B print of mine plus my name, they could forge a print and COA which would check out with PC for a potential buyer as the real COA would be registered in my name and contain the print number.
