Shredded Girl with Balloon - One Big Fraud, by Deleted on May 10, 2021 14:42:29 GMT 1, You might want google ironic. Whilst I may own a couple of banksys I have a very balanced opinion of his market and the manipulation that surrounds it. I don’t ignore the full truth and only yap when something good happens. We all gotta invest somewhere and I bought banksy when he was investible. The poor fools who bought in the last 6 months got burnt by the market manipulation.. unsigned Girl With Balloon results have dropped how much? Nice to see you learnt your lesson from buying Pejac at peak prices🤣
I think you’ve pretty much shown yourself for the buffoon you are with this post. I bought at the bottom and sold at the top. Thanks for coming though

Bollocks did you. Maybe the later ones while your tongue was stuck up Max's bottom, but I remember you buying pieces at high end. You need to lay off those Wham bars, they're messing with your head.

Shredded Girl with Balloon - One Big Fraud, by RoboJ on May 10, 2021 16:32:26 GMT 1, I don't believe it was even meant to be fully destroyed. It was supposed to stop half way. It means the work was still complete and retained its message. There is no reason for it to stop working other than a communication error and if it was a poor signal it would have stuttered or not operated bang on que in the first place. A great stunt perfectly executed.

It’s only a fraud if the artwork isn’t made by Banksy.
Next you’ll be telling us that the Crude Oils are frauds because Banksy didn’t paint them in 1886.

Shredded Girl with Balloon - One Big Fraud, by Sebastian Dusseldorf on May 10, 2021 17:33:43 GMT 1, I'm quite stunned by the naivety of the OP.
Obviously this was too big to fail and involved several stakeholders. And really, in what a sad world would we be living, if instead of what happened we would have got the following news:
"Banksy shredded at auction, unfortunately there is no photo of it, as it was really unexpected and took everyone involved by total surprise."
"Sotheby's finds shredder and saves valuable print from being destroyed. Shredder is as good as new and will go on auction soon. On ebay."
"Art world is shocked. It turns out the printed piece of paper Banksy destroyed in the biggest art stunt of the decade was signed in 2019 and not in 2006. Scandal!"
"Sebastian's uncle arrested. For many years he pretended to remove his thumb nail from his hand, while just fooling the little boy. Fraud!"

Shredded Girl with Balloon - One Big Fraud, by fenderusastrat on May 10, 2021 18:12:58 GMT 1, The year on the PC certificates isn't always correct and it certainly isn't the point of the certificates, in the first place. The certificates are primarily and mostly meant to certify authenticity of the work - and none of the other information on them is nearly as important. Although it is nice when the year is correct, I do not believe that the year being off has any impact on the value of the work itself. The PC certificates for the AP GWB prints have a year of 2004 on them even though they were released and sold (and likely made) over a decade later. Does that make them worth any less? I do not think so. Check the recent auction results for those prints with an "incorrect" year on the PC certificate from a decade earlier to see how much buyers care. GWB as an image was made over a decade before these prints were sold and also more than a decade before the "Love is in the Bin" work from Sotheby's sold - and everyone knows this - so it can be seen as correct to have an earlier year on certificates for the later released works of the same image. The stunt at the Sothebys sale was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, stunt pulled by any artist. Instead of applauding it for what it is, worrying about the year on the certificate seems to completely miss the point of it, IMO.

So what's important on a COA...? Everything IMHO.
PC COAs state the Title, Medium, Year, Size, Edition Number and in the Notes whether of not it is signed or unsigned etc. It is a "certification" that all those details are correct. At the bottom of the COA it states the the purpose of the document is to "... certify that the work described above is an 'original work of art' by Banksy."
Granted, the year of production may be the least of a buyer's concerns but PC are the only people that can confirm these details and it is done via the COA. The Year should be accurate, otherwise what's the point of including it?

Shredded Girl with Balloon - One Big Fraud, by rungsp on May 10, 2021 19:09:54 GMT 1, I'm thinking of doing this.
1. Buy a West Country Prince version of Girl With A Baloon
2. Buy a suitable chunky gold frame
3. Shred (just enough) in a domestic shredder (not going to try to replicate the in-frame one)
4. Assemble and hang
IS this anymore "fake" than just framing a WCP version?
I don't really know...I've certainly nothing against WCP prints, in a way they are (re)democratising Banksy who was once affordable and is now the stuff of dreams.
Your thoughts?

The beginning of the movie says 'A long time ago, in a Galaxy far far away'- but it is fake! How can we even believe that this is real if the laser swords are fake.

Irn Bru bars were, to my mind, the true prince amongst tangy (filling destroying) chewy bars. I believe that they were produced under licence by the same company as Wham bars (and Highland Toffee) but that the company McCowan’s (?) has since gone under. Dark times for kids...and private dentistry.

Shredded Girl with Balloon - One Big Fraud, by Hairbland on May 11, 2021 0:03:32 GMT 1, Still a Banksy at the end of the day. So you would be happy with a back dated COA? That's illegal! The piece wasn't from 2006 but it's stated on the COA from Pest Control Office. There are a couple new items coming up in auction from Sotheby's that have back dated! That's fraud mister!
I thought under the circumstances the buyer had the option to not follow through with the sale, as it was a stunt, but was happy to as arguably it ended up being more valuable.
