banksy grenade original, by Harveyn on Sept 7, 2008 20:33:33 GMT 1, I agree Zippy. It might well be a shit image but if real you cannot possible ignore the history of the piece and the fact that its an original Banksy (if PC confirm). No idea of value. But I would love to own it.

Ron.....
'not for me' - fair enough as that is your opinion.
'has no history' - of course it does. Its an early Banksy and represents that period in time. To a collector, its a great piece of history.
'awful' - again, thats your opinion.
'its a fake' - not necessarily. We'll leave that too those that know. There is only 1 person (who visits here occassionally) who I would trust to say if its real or not. But PC was set up exactly for this sort of question.

how a possible fake can have history, is beyond me?
its a pretty poor piece, again IMO

it is NOT a fake.
it HAS history - just the forum hasnt been made aware of it.

banksy grenade original, by orangematt on Sept 7, 2008 23:03:35 GMT 1, First in the original post , Nickodey stated that " I know its history ..."
So , that means there is a history that hasn't been divulged ...
Now i have met Nick , and he ain't daft , i am sure this isnt a case of 'some bloke down the pub told me its kosher !!' ... more likely someone with cast iron story to tell ...

I'd be chuffed as hell to own that as they are some of the earliest Banksy pieces kicking about.

Just seen this thread, there were a couple of thse about 3-4years ago, with an official nod, this one does look familiar. Cant be 100% as I didnt paint it, but it looks good from my point of view. Best to get it checked out, hope its good. I'd be chuffed as hell to own that as they are some of the earliest Banksy pieces kicking about. |

That said, if it is real, it is not a piece I would want on my wall - irrespective to history, its not a good one.

The difference is, its not the owner of the piece thats on the forum selling it. 
I hope that this turns out to be a o.k once PC checks it, I would not want to see a forum member rush into buying a piece, because he's been told by a Banksy expert on an internet forum that the piece is legit. views seem pretty split on this one, either way i would not pay to own this work, as i dont like it.

banksy grenade original, by Francis on Sept 8, 2008 8:28:24 GMT 1, So what if it's shit? I personally don't think it's shit, but this is a historical artifact, if genuine. People pay loads for things like JFK's underwear or David Beckham's used condoms. The fact that this is a very early Banksy piece alone should make it desirable. I'd want it even if it were a few strokes done over someone else's painting. His farts smell sweet.

If the doubters oen their eyes and took a closer look at the photos that have been posted and the comments that have been made already, some of the history of this piece would become pretty apparent...
Therefore, it is worth a fair ol' whack this one. A rare, early original.

Its quality not quantity.
And, Dicy is a top artist too.
He's been around this scene from the beginning....
But I dont need to speak for him!

You shouldnt post on the forum if you cant handle the negative comments that go with it. Not everyone is going to like it, so go and get your provenance, if it has the history to go with it, hang it up on your wall, happy days.
Case closed
Dicy as an artist, you should post more also - you can contribute quite a bit more to this forum, especially as you are old skool
