COA för the grey Nola?, by Ron Goldsurfer on Dec 27, 2008 13:46:57 GMT 1, Am I the only one that did not get a COA for my grey Nola or was there never one sent out? I have all the other paperworks but would have liked to get a COA for it. As I understand one was sent out to buyers of the original white edition. Anyone know the facts in this matter?

COA för the grey Nola?, by hippocroccopig on Dec 27, 2008 15:55:26 GMT 1, I dont think POW should send out a COA for this. POW sent these to the people who missed out because they were so desperate to put this print on their walls. Why would you need a COA for it.
It was a great gesture from POW & Banksy making this limited run for the ones that had problems and the last thing they deserve is to have it thrown back in their faces.
Then when those that sell them on do so POW will know exactly who never to sell to again.

1. To prove that it is not a fake
2. As whoever received one, bought it, rather than was given it as a gift they have every right to a COA, and as POW now charge £50 for COA's then I also feel it is appropriate to provide them when they sell Banksy prints.
3. No-one knows what situation they may find themselves in in the future, and may find that they need to sell. Without a COA this is impossible. Not much use losing your job, having no cash and a piece of paper worth several grand sat on your wall you can't sell.
4. Tastes change, again if you want to swap for another piece of art in the future impossible without a COA.
Ultimately the prints belong to the people who bought, and what they choose to do with them is up to them.

COA för the grey Nola?, by Heavyconsumer on Dec 27, 2008 16:31:37 GMT 1, POW are entitled to provide a COA with every Banksy print. That they don't is a liberty imo. I appreciate that they try to act where they become aware of flippers, by not reselling to those people, if at all possible, but collectors of prints by "lesser-known" or valued, artists receive COAs, as a matter of course. Regardless of post sale value, POW are still charging hundreds of pounds for a print and my opinion is that they're having a laugh by forcing anyone who wants one, to pay for a COA later on. They are able to print COAs with an appeal for secondary market buyers to register their purchases, if it's such a priority to them. That would give them the same information as to who is selling them on. I have COAs for almost all of my prints, yet the most valuable one of all (and most expensive one) was one of the few that didn't come with one - seems a bit cheeky imo.
I totally understand Howlinghooker's point of view, but imo it's not relevant to this discussion.

COA för the grey Nola?, by Ron Goldsurfer on Dec 27, 2008 17:06:39 GMT 1, Wow! that one simple and straight forward question could be soo misinterpreted and let loose this amount of agression. The ONLY reason I was asking is that I heard that people who was lucky to buy the white Nola (I was btw lucky for one week) got a COA. And as I also PAYD for mine I thought I also would recieve one for my print. I just wanted to know... as simple as that.
And btw I have bought 7 prints in total from POW during the last couple of years and they are all still my property. Have NOT sold or swap´d anything, saying this only for the record. And hookert**t, you can now release the caps lock.

Aggression? Where?
I think it's an interesting topic right now. When POW issued COAs to original NOLA buyers, it generated speculation as to whether this would become new SOP. It now seems that it won't be the new standard and that people need to keep paying for and (more importantly imo) going out of their way for a COA, if they want one. As the lucky owner of one Banksy print, I feel it could've been sold with a COA.

COA för the grey Nola?, by jusdeep on Dec 27, 2008 17:57:42 GMT 1, Some good and thought provoking points. I would also go as far to say that all POW prints should be sold with a COA, especially as some cost as much or more than Banksy prints.

COA för the grey Nola?, by redfred on Dec 27, 2008 18:04:11 GMT 1, It probably boils down to the fact that those who were reissued with another white Nola already had POW documentation for the print they didnt get. There was therefore iffy documentation floating about which in the case of the white Nola could be used for fraudulant purposes, this was not the case for the Grey Nola !

Yes, that much is clear, but it represented an opportunity to introduce COAs as standard. That opportunity was spurned, so either POW or the artist specifically does not want to issue COAs as standard. I think it's a shame but hey, life goes on of course.

COA för the grey Nola?, by rosstierney on Dec 28, 2008 0:20:35 GMT 1, do you really think they knocked up 289 coa's between finding out about the hiccup, printing grey nola, the open day & numerous online releases?
me thinks they were intentionally produced for the original nola release & sent out separately because they came from pest control hq
there was also that little thing called christmas so with time, i expect coa's for grey nola, very little helps & all future releases
all imo
