Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jeff Koons New Shelton Wet/Dry Doubledecker 1981 (collection MoMA) is just 2 vacuum cleaners, albeit very expensive ones. nobody is pissing in Duchamps urinal or hitting hoops with Koon's suspended basketballs or Milking Hirst's cows. Or swimming with his sharks

๐คฃ I do regret not buying one at the time but it's not going to sky rocket as you so desperately want. It's clear why you bought more than one. A pretty dick move if you ask me, but yet not really suprising. I'll see when the next batch is released and go from there. It's good to have dreams and aspirations though, stick with it ๐

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Daniel Silk on Feb 20, 2020 13:32:25 GMT 1, Iโm interested to know what people plan to do with these Mats?
Are you going to use it or display it on the floor or get it framed up on the wall?
To be honest, I wouldnโt want one ๐ค Itโs just something I couldnโt look at everyday as a piece of art.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by goodfish on Feb 20, 2020 13:52:52 GMT 1, In the next round of GDP, I heard he's offering umbrellas with the word 'gesundheit' made with face masks from Wuhan stitched into the parasol. Can't wait!

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Feb 20, 2020 14:07:19 GMT 1, Threads like this give an interesting insight into how different people think of art.
All art is subjective, obviously, but there's a lot of equating good art with what looks pretty. There are loads of artists talked about on this forum who produce work that, to me, looks quite nice, but that's it. They don't make me think about intent or meaning or even composition.
There's a lot of dismissal of this piece because it's imperfect or it doesn't look just like the one in the show. They're valid complaints if you wanted a replica, and that's totally fair enough. But is that how you look at art? This has layers of meaning - the intent of Banksy when he designed it; the materials used; the women who made it - which is surely the aim of good art? An interesting idea expressed. And these are surely as Banksy intended or they wouldn't have been released. So is it Banksy as an artist you're interested in or the status symbol? Either is fine, but they're not the same thing.
It's weird reading people saying 'It's not for me because I don't know how I'd frame it' or 'I was hoping for some extra free gifts' because it seems to show zero interest in what this is.

I understand what your saying, and I think everyone appreciates the message, and story behind the Mats and their manufacture, and as you say it does make it Art. All Iโm saying is that not all Art is really display friendly in your average home, such as Tracey Emins Bed or a Damien Hirst Shark, but it depends on the size of your house I guess.

I think the majority here would agree with you. Of course this is a piece of art, as that is what Banksy made it when he placed it in the gdp shop. Some of them are a bit shabby looking, but they were never all going to turn out looking like the gdp one when they have been made by unskilled refugees. I just comment here as a moderator to all the bullshit being thrown about. In fact I have never heard so much nonsense hype on a release before. Some people are just trying desperately to hype these for no other reason than to inflate prices and trying to push people into FOMO.

I don't see these becoming especially valuable by Banksy standards because they're not going to be to everyone's taste, but I do think they're one of the best pieces from GDP.

I don't mean hype about the mat as it is. I'm on about the hype of no more being made available at the same price, Coa's being given to the first 500, numbered labels adding value, free gifts included, Banksy pubes being hand sewn into the mats and the rest of the bullshit being thrown about.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Feb 20, 2020 15:35:24 GMT 1, Iโm interested to know what people plan to do with these Mats? Are you going to use it or display it on the floor or get it framed up on the wall? To be honest, I wouldnโt want one ๐ค Itโs just something I couldnโt look at everyday as a piece of art. If I get one itl go on the wall in a perspex frame and appreciated as 'imo' one of his strongest works in a long time. Conceptually its absolutely bang on
Ordered my box ...ยฃ180 delivered

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Feb 20, 2020 15:38:06 GMT 1, A fair view. I don't think I really see that many people hyping them excessively, but that may be because I have one and like it. A few people are talking money but not many and not necessarily those who bought them. Anyway, hype always gets silly around artists who are popular here. Look at any Pejac or Oli Epp thread. I don't see these becoming especially valuable by Banksy standards because they're not going to be to everyone's taste, but I do think they're one of the best pieces from GDP. I don't mean hype about the mat as it is. I'm on about the hype of no more being made available at the same price, Coa's being given to the first 500, numbered labels adding value, free gifts included, Banksy pubes being hand sewn into the mats and the rest of the bullshit being thrown about. Oh yeah, couldn't agree more. Anyone saying they know exactly what's up with anything to do with GDP is daft. Quite a few shown up for making definitive statements that turned out to be absolute bollocks.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by sgolby on Feb 20, 2020 15:42:23 GMT 1, Super excited for this to eventually arrive. I said it before and will say it again, if you sell this on, give the profit to charity, as Banksy said would be appropriate for anyone selling the Flag print for a profit as The proceeds of the original sale were for a charity.
Now that i have come down off my high horse, anyone living in the US, tracking will be sent to you once the print has been sent.
Love you all.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by The Italian One on Feb 20, 2020 15:52:23 GMT 1, I have spoken to someone more in the know than most of us. They arenโt planning a COA currently but it isnโt out of the question Another 500 is possible but no guarantee. 1000 max. There is almost certainly a surprise / reward as the people who bought these immediately sought to give ยฃ500 a great cause banksy cares greatly about. These people didnโt instantly want the prints or big ticket pieces. Banksy likes this. This could end up being a numbered 500 edition with COA.. maybe even more! Congrats to those who bought for the right reasons.. you might just get lucky. I think your "someone more in the know" joked you

At this stage i think i will fit some hooks or spikes inside the box so the mat can fit on them
Open to other ideas though
