Kareem Lotfy, by Young Squire on May 15, 2007 9:36:30 GMT 1, I collected mine from the gallery this morning. It has the same blemishes (which look cool) and it does have yellow eyes. It's from th 15 edition. (Hope that helps) The guy showed me around and said "Do you like Banksy?". He then proceeded to show me 10 or 15 pieces, which were literally lying around - most of them canvases including a pink Mona Lisa, Laugh Now, Churchill... They also had a signed Christ with Shopping Bags. I couldn't believe my eyes!
Went and picked up my canvas yesterday evening and have to say it looks fantastic. Had a look around like stylus above and agree, they have some amazing Banksy one offs just lying around. The Pink triplicate set is something I have never seen even pictures of before and is amazing. They reckon it will get in the region of ยฃ250k at auction or from a private buyer, can't imagine how cheap the seller got it for originally, makes me feel a bit sick!
Will post pictures shortly.

Kareem Lotfy, by Young Squire on May 15, 2007 11:39:05 GMT 1, I wish I could say it was the pink Mona!
But, in fact it was the second of two White Mirleen's. They framed it for me as well which was pretty good.

When he handed me the first pink canvas (the laugh now) my natural reaction was to assume that they were copies. My brain couldn't get around the fact that they had such stupidly valuable stuff just leaning against a wall by a door way!
Great skills on getting the white Mirleen canvas. Must look awesome.

Kareem Lotfy, by romanywg on May 29, 2007 16:49:21 GMT 1, The Gallery have been first class with sorting my problem print out and I have another print coming my way but they did show me a few new larger different versions of the Marylyn. All looked real nice, white background, all sprayed. Maybe they will be up on their site soon. Double the original cost though. But all originals.

Kareem Lotfy, by Young Squire on Jan 24, 2008 14:36:44 GMT 1, ;D He's not RYCA!! And it's a bit harder to churn out the colour variations from Eygpt!
Only 2 pieces created on canvas and I am assured by gallery nosco and neutral (a friend of Kareem) that no further versions are planned.
I Might be wrong but I think that makes:
15 x blue screen prints 8 x white screen prints 2 x canvas (both white) 1 x on wood 4 x white prints (large size) 3 x white prints (AP's) ______ Total edition: 33
EDIT: And some test sprays held by the gallery apparantly!!

Kareem Lotfy, by Young Squire on Jan 28, 2008 13:35:38 GMT 1, Hi BB
I have been in touch with Oliver at Gallery Nosco recently and he had a test spray available of this piece on a white background which was priced at ยฃ410.
This represents an increase on the original price but this is due to recent interest in Kareem's work: - he has just been exhibited in Singapore in a Pop show along side Andy Warhol, Lichstenstein, Faile... - he has been bought by a few collectors and curators recently that included him with other well know artists (this includes the owner of Momo and Sketch).
Drop Oliver and email if you are interested, he is a nice guy to deal with.
