Girl with red balloon - probably fake?, by saimen on Nov 17, 2019 18:08:32 GMT 1, Hi all
I'm new to this forum, so sorry if I'm making a mistake.
I really like Banksy's work and recently looked for pictures made by him on a Swiss online auction website out of curiosity.
I found one auction for the Girl with the red balloon (numbered, unsigned) and suspect that it's not an original, but I wonder if I may be wrong?
The person auctioning the picture shared the following pictures:
imgur.com/a/kiEGUjN
- Picture of the poster (the numbering seems to be a bit in an odd place, but I haven't seen an original myself)
- "Certificate" (just a normal printed page with some info about the picture) with a red "Banksy" stamp on its back. Seems very odd to me.
What does the forum think? This is fake, right?
A second one I found seems more obviously fake to me (e.g. feet cut off): www.ricardo.ch/de/a/banksy-'girl-with-a-balloon'-1092514228/
Thanks for any feedback!

The printing looks too sharp to me as well.

You can pick those up on eBay every once in a while. At least he doesn't pretend them to be real.
And they are only GBP 58 + shipping.
In general; if it seems to good to be true….
Original Banksy's should come with an Certicate of Authenticity (COA) by Pest Control (PC).

As Sundowner said it's eiter a fake print or an print by West County Prints - which are also fake. You can pick those up on eBay every once in a while. At least he doesn't pretend them to be real.

WCP prints are not fakes, they are what they claim to be.

I guarantee that all Banksy prints on Ricardo.ch are fake.
Here is another example:
there is this one guy always selling all that fake junk: www.ricardo.ch/de/shop/DJO.ZH/

And you can frame them and fool a lot of unsuspecting people.
