Banksy Stop and Search Print, by rurualhick on Feb 20, 2008 8:22:48 GMT 1, BASIC DESIGN CONCEPTS ARE UNIVERSAL. IT IS AS THEY SAY IN THE COMMUNITY "FACT". ANYBODY WITH AN INKLING OF DESIGN SENSE STRIVE TO NOT VIOLATE IT.
ie. S&S is a minimalist piece. Black/white with an accent. This accent is vital to this piece.
ALL COLORS MUST BE NEUTRAL. YOU DON'T PUT SOME CRAZY COLORS AND/OR FRAMES BECAUSE YOUR EYES WILL BE DRAWN AWAY FROM THE MAIN POINT OF THE PIECE. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF INTERPRETATION. YOUR FRAME IS SUPPOSED TO LEND SUPPORT (BOTH PHYSICALLY AND VISUALLY) NOT OVERWHELM. 95% OF THE FRAMES ON THIS THREAD ARE PAINFUL TO LOOK AT BECAUSE THEY ARE HIDEOUS DISTRACTIONS TO S&S. A DAMN SHAME.

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by banksman on Feb 20, 2008 11:20:11 GMT 1, I went with the seemingly unpopular white box frame with a float mount to see the deckled edge, but that being said I think everyone's looks great and framing choices are the same as art itself. Not everything will appeal to everyone, so buy the one that makes you happiest. To answer your other question, I never used to frame my pieces in white, until I saw some of Faile's work in white box frames at a gallery and was blown away by how much emphasis it puts on on each piece itself. Been doing it ever since. With Stop and Search, I kind of just love how the image feels like it comes out of nowhere amidst all the white. 
BEST FRAMING OF THIS PRINT I'VE SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS HOW I'M GOING TO FRAME MINE

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by fourputt on Feb 13, 2008 17:27:43 GMT 1, I am thinking of expanding my collection by 1 print. Seeing as how the price of a SAS is comparable to an unsigned, early Banksy, which way should I go? The SAS is signed, which is a big plus. But I am leaning toward the older, unsigned prints, as I think they will hold value and be more desirable down the road. What would you do in my shoes? Is the signature worth more than the scarcity of anything from pre-2004? Thanks

BONGO DOES NOT THINK S&S WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. IT IS A WEAK PIECE.
EARLIER PRINTS ARE ALREADY RECOGNISABLE AS BANKSY TO MOST PEOPLE AND THAT WILL DETERMINE FUTURE WORTH
BONGO DOES NOT FAVOUR THE SIZE AND LAYOUT OF THE WSM BME RANGE AFTER EXPERIENCE WITH HAND , BUT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT BONGO APPRECIATION OF THE SIMPLCITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IMAGE
BONGO WOULD ALWAYS GO FOR PRE LA RUN - APART FROM TROLLEYS - GIVEN A CHOICE

I wish I had bought a BME a while back when there were more available and better priced. I do however have a WSM so its not all bad ;D

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by darjeeling on Feb 14, 2008 2:18:24 GMT 1, I don't like HAND at all myself - just not that witty and maybe because I'm a Yank I don't really 'get' WSM or BME. They're actually I think my 3 least favorite prints.
I think Bango is dead wrong - S&S is classic Banksy and a serious grower, definitely among the more unique Banksy works, plus there's less of them than most other Banksy's. I know they ain't going for all that much at the moment but once the flipping and trading dries up they will creep upward, wouldn't let mine go for less than ยฃ4k but I don't have any plans to sell. I think it looks perfect in this header:
www.filthymodernart.com/artists/banksy
There are maybe a couple unsigned prints I'd shell out the cash for before a S&S but those ain't the ones in my opinion. Plus if you have the S&S in your name at POW it's kind of nice.

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by daz205 on Feb 14, 2008 12:58:05 GMT 1, s&S is an edition of 500, the unsigned rats are from smaller editions and are imo much better images how will this affect the signed/unsigned argument in the future?
i for one would prefer a good image from a smaller run than the bragging rights of a signed banksy

Yes mine has it as well. Mine is on the front in the upper left-hand corner.
This is just a normal watermark of the paper manufacturer. It does not harm the value of the print in any way at all. Rest assured you own an authentic S&S printed on Arches paper.
I can't see it at all unless I take it off the wall and hold it at an angle.
