Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Feb 17, 2020 13:22:05 GMT 1, 500 more mats with a huge waiting list = better opportunity for most on the secondary market.
Those on ebay will look like a steal soon.

Then the signed gift prints are a giveaway price as i assume both won't have a COA

Banksy Welcome Mat, by pfffffffffft on Feb 17, 2020 18:29:26 GMT 1, Another 500 will be made, think this was always the case, and Banksy's GDP insta account has confirmed this That's not an official page True but this is:
http://instagram.com/p/B8j5EpOBPqV
I still think there is a possibility of them being unlimited. Regardless they still need to sell them in limited runs as they are handmade items.

Agree....should make it an edition of 19,000. One for each poor soul that died crossing the med in the last 6 years alone. Great worthwhile cause but blatantly uncomfortable to be admired on the wall as a piece of art (imo). I think they should leave the edition open so the people mostly getting rich are the ones that need it most.

Not very exciting. A picture of a door mat that said โoh no not you againโor something silly.

Youve done it wrong, it wasnt that at all, it was a powerful video of a father and daughter in Syria whilst there are bomb noises going off, to calm her he has made a game from it. Its heartbreaking.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Feb 17, 2020 23:45:00 GMT 1, Nothing against Unlimited runs - but why individually number them? Whatโs the purpose of that if it is? Just canโt think of a rational reason from Banksy/Love welcomeโs POV. Neither does having this batch numbered and the rest unnumbered....

Numbering them sounds like Banksy is worried about fakes, and protecting the โeditionโ... which might also mean COAs. But letโs wait and see.

Just canโt think of a rational reason from Banksy/Love welcomeโs POV. Neither does having this batch numbered and the rest unnumbered.... It appears everything from GDP is numbered with a tag specific to GDP on top of it's edition number.
It's also my understanding the Walled Off sculptures, which are an open edition, have some sort of numbering system on the bottom as well.
That may or may not be the case here but there are a few recent examples you can point to.

Cheaper/more expensive. Could be a way to divide the money. Artist gets the signed. Printer gets the unsigned.
Whatโs the purpose? How could numbers prevent fakes? Why would there be fakes if the real ones are still available as unlimited? Thanks

Could be a way to divide the money. Artist gets the signed. Printer gets the unsigned. Whatโs the purpose? How could numbers prevent fakes? Why would there be fakes if the real ones are still available as unlimited? Thanks Just like anything else that's made there is the possibility of mass produced knock offs and fakes at a cheaper price. Assigning some sort of catalog numbering system allows them to know based on the design and matching number if it's authentic. I would imagine it's the same reason there are some identifying numbers assigned to the Walled Off Sculptures.
Again, that may or may not be the case here. It's just a speculative answer to your question.

I'm sure pretty hard to pull off... Especially when faking paper prints is so much easier

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Feb 18, 2020 4:11:26 GMT 1, the word "welcome" made from real life vests is so poignant - and so, so wrong to fake...
maybe the stock will run out when there are no more refugee life vests to create mats from.

Especially when faking paper prints is so much easier There is an entire ecosystem in China built off manufacturing fake designer goods. Also tons of Kaws toys. If they thought there was money to be made they'd be right there. Greed never fails to show it's determination sadly.
