Banksy Cushions Gross Domestic Product™, by max1 on Dec 25, 2020 22:22:26 GMT 1, These cushions could be sold at Walmart for 5 bucks and everyone would ignore them. Slap the Banksy name on it, and now the "high end collectors" are all about it and it sells for 20k? They will sell for a lot more than £20k.
There's one on eBay currently at 30k. But the thing which caught my attention was that it stated '...balance is to be paid in cash on pick up of items.'😮

Do you go by what they go for on eBay or is that inaccurate in terms of actual value?

Banksy Cushions Gross Domestic Product™, by rp13 on Dec 26, 2020 3:24:23 GMT 1, I have no vested interest — wasn’t so lucky, alas! — but it’s interesting to see that very similar editions of these have started dropping, when it was previously suggested they’d all be unique and a prior example (with the pom-pom edging) was totally different.
The stenciling is different. Cushions all the same. Interesting... but I was accused of mine being fake cushions so not shocked that the other ones are coming into question now. I guess nothing is real.

Banksy Cushions Gross Domestic Product™, by artmonster on Dec 26, 2020 11:28:09 GMT 1, I guess now would be as good of a time as any to let you know about the hidden t-shirt listing that was on gdp. You could buy as many as you wanted, so I got 50. It turns out the edition is 50, so lucky me, right? Not only that, these are hand signed by Banksy with black ink on the bottom right. I'm still not sure if they are going to get a coa or not, but I can share a picture of one now if you want to see. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81JnHdmIMgL._UL1500_.jpg
Oh, i NEED one

Banksy Cushions Gross Domestic Product™, by gross on Dec 31, 2020 19:15:03 GMT 1, Not saying you will/won’t but I think that’s a standard message sent with all orders discussing what will happen if the item gets a COA. Completely agree. I don't know either way. However, the cushions are great. They're hand sprayed by Banksy and have every bit as much provenance as some of the items that have already sold for six-figures without a COA currently in place. Who can guarantee they'll ever receive their COA, particularly for numbered items that have gone to auction?
Why have you removed the one on ebay ?

So would love to have a set. I might even try and knock up some copies for myself.

you should. I copied/made a version of a piece recently by a artist I like. It was quite satisfying.

I had hesitated to post pictures earlier, because I didn't want them being used for nefarious purposes, but since there's more pictures floating around now, I don't think it would hurt:
Lets gooo!!! Finally after a long long time waiting, these have finally arrived state side just in time for the New Year and I couldn't be more ecstatic! Congratulations - they look great. It's interesting, I received mine relatively early in the process (late January 2020) and there were a few differences. The most obvious being that mine are gray flannel/felt. I've seen the ones that seem to have arrived this week that are yellow and one earlier in the thread that was yellow but had pompoms, but nothing other than those so I'm curious what some of the other variations are. My tag was attached, which doesn't seem to be the case for the recent ones but I didn't receive the additional note about the hand spraying - they emailed me to let me know all that a couple weeks after the cushions arrived. They also didn't have the plastic bags - to be honest, they were kind of shoved into a cardboard box - very in keeping with the whole aesthetic I thought.

Piece of piss to do and, and some things you can recreate for pennies yet get the same resultant aesthetic enjoyment from having them in your life.
I made a few of the GDP clocks for myself and some friends, I haven't got an artistic bone in my body but
the process of doing so was both infinitely more fraught and hugely more satisfying than I imagined.

I’ve made a few over the years. The most recent when Lockdown got the better of me I made this.....just over 1m in diameter. Gloss yellow acrylic and led backlit. Always loved this piece since dismaland but couldn’t stretch for the print on the secondary market. Would love to see your gdp clocks |

Banksy stencils aren't that hard to do. I've added some of my own smartassery to it,
but you can make a nice canvas with a bit of effort.

Cut some holes in a piece of paper and get busy with some spraypaint. Banksy stencils aren't that hard to do. I've added some of my own smartassery to it, but you can make a nice canvas with a bit of effort. |

I had the same experience as yours (not grey though - they look epic) and have been sceptical about these ones popping up with plastic bags and printed washing instructions as like you, mine wasn’t quite so professional. Regardless, I’m absolutely stoked and they have pride of place in my house

Brilliant to see the grey version of these, I knew they would all be different being upcycled but the variation in colour & Pom poms etc make each of them unique. Cheers for uploading

Banksy Cushions Gross Domestic Product™, by Charlie Bronson on Jan 5, 2021 19:27:11 GMT 1, Out of curiosity, for those lucky enough to have got a set of these, how are you displaying them? I noticed a few photos that show them on couches. Is that how you’re displaying them? If so, I’d imagine that the cushions get put in a safe place whenever company comes over. Would hate to see a wine spill on one of them or someone spinning one on his finger, not knowing what they are.
Over Christmas holiday, my family came over. My mom was checking out my house, specifically the new plants and art, and she found herself standing directly on my GDP floor mat by a door. I didn’t tell her to get off of it, I more guided her off of it to go see another room, after ten seconds or so of her standing on it. Luckily she had clean shoes on.
