Banksy Welcome Mat, by tlaa2020 on Apr 13, 2021 19:35:07 GMT 1, ive seen there are a few different versions 9the first 500, then the next release, and now the recent release). just wanted to check - are they all the same size / look? or do they look different? i know the 1st 500 had the label stitched and the subsequent ones have swing tags, but other than that are they the same in appearance? thankyou

The concept is the same. It’s extremely powerful whichever version.
Like Duchamp’s Fountain. Doesn’t matter the Ed size to enjoy it.
It’s a Banksy after all.
Price wise - as more and more swing tags get made the stitched tag will feel really limited. Once a stitched version hits an unsigned print price at some silly auction - the gap between the two will be forever widened.

No one cares about how a tag is fixed. It's not a signature.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by popengugensac on Apr 16, 2021 2:07:19 GMT 1, Full disclosure: (1) I own a sub-500 #’d welcome mat; (2) I came to the mat through the GDP website, which I was interested in because I like Banksy and was interested in owning a piece by him; (3) I bought the welcome mat because I could.
Now the other stuff. After buying the welcome mat I came to appreciate it as a very powerful piece of art. The story behind its creation, the creators who give that story life and tangible good the profits from its sale accomplish make this piece, in my opinion, perhaps the most potent art work Bansky has created to affect positive change. It’s real money in the pocket of a organization striving to improve the lives of an underserved and desperate community. I hope they make and sell a million of these mats. At the same time, these mats are a work of art and a commodity. We can bemoan flippers and the secondary market, but they are are a reality, and a function of market that has placed significant value on the work of this artist. And these mats are going to be part of Banksy’s artistic catalogue and a value for them is going to be created. I don’t see how the first 500 aren’t going to be worth more than the rest, if for no other reason they’ll be the ones most closely associated with the GDP shop. And honestly I think that’s fine because you’re ultimately talking about a small cohort of collectors chasing value. And I hope that in no way discourages people from
buying subsequent releases - in fact I hope that everyone who can buys directly from the organization. I’ve had a few very important conversations with my young children about this piece - who created it, why, what circumstances lead to this situation - and for me that’s the real value in this piece. That it invites introspection and conversation. But that also doesn’t mean that it isn’t an object with an economic value vulnerable to market forces.

Have editions from 1st and 2nd batch and disagree. Actually sold a first edition for a second where I liked the stitching more and had the 2nd edition framed. 0 difference in every respect with exception of a sewn tag vs hanging.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Apr 16, 2021 3:23:31 GMT 1, 1st edition books - would be a fair comparison.
The reader gets the exact same story, printing, book cover paper etc as the later editions.
Yet folks would pay more for the 1st. That’s the reality.
Especially if it’s a really good book by a famous writer.
However that shouldn’t stop folks from buying and enjoying the later editions - and making it a bestseller.
Great art is great art. Whatever the edition/version.

The part where you can talk to your young children about banksy's art, with them understanding it at very direct level, is beautiful. It's a virtue of great street art: it intuitively touches some basic human values in an honest and true way. Think how hard it'd be to do it with an abstract expressionist piece or other "proper" contemporary art. |
