Banksy - Happy Choppers - Signed Gift Print - "Banksy 03" in pen
Prints are Signed Gift prints given personally by Banksy at Turf War to the photo journalist Gilly (www.shot2bits.net), and the contemporary Artist Kate Gibb (www.productofgod.net)
Complete Provenance & Guaranteed Authenticity
Both Sellers will provide a signed letter of provenance & a written bill of sale.
Written provenance from Dora at POW who has inspected & verified the prints
Given the public profile of the sellers, the history of the prints and the provenance from Dora these are the most watertight gift prints I've ever come across. I've previously sold my own signed Banksy prints and also gift prints on the Forum and would be happy to provide references from reputable Dealers & Collectors
I'm helping with the logistics but the actual sale will be with the owners
Prints are in London & can be viewed - Prefer a face to face sale but can post/courier
Condition of both prints is Near Mint/Excellent - Colours are true & unfaded
- WSM has a visible small soft corner crease shown in the detail pic -
All offers will be kept confidential & everyone replied to - Sorry but no swaps

did you read his post at all or skip straight to the photos?!
i thought that ugly's post was extremely clear- they are GIFT prints so no, they wouldn't be numbered.

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by icky on Jun 12, 2008 9:26:28 GMT 1, Yes I read it two times to be sure and one more time now. Just because it was a gift it doesn't mean it have to be unnumbered. We all know there are unnumbered prints in circulation, but the line between an unauthorized back door print and an authorized gift (from Banksy or POW) is a bit blurry, to say the least. What about dispay/test prints that were used for shops selling POW stuff?
But this is not the right thread for this discussion, sorry.

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by uglyiq on Jun 12, 2008 18:29:18 GMT 1, The prints are unnumbered - apologies this should have been in the listing.
Most 'gift' prints tend to be unnumbered - stock was set aside at Turf War to pay the staff in prints as cash was tight back then.
However you do sometimes get numbered stock used as 'gifts', a friend of mine was given a numbered WSM at Turf War that Banksy signed for him with a peace symbol. The print was slightly damaged which may explain why it was used as a gift. As usual with POW/Banksy early days the best you can do is apply a rule of thumb, there are always exceptions.
As for Back Door prints though, these are NOT gonna be signed for obvious reasons, so it should be stressed there is nothing back door or even side door about these 2 fully authenticated gift prints.
Hope this helps

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by alsbabar on Jun 12, 2008 22:43:43 GMT 1, very true Ugly, I have an unnumbered Have A Nice Day which was given by Gary Mitchell and Steve Laz to a friend who did all the Banksy framing in the early days.
I may take it down to Dora and get it authenticated also - as I always wondered how they would treat such prints.

really?! why? WSM is surely the best banksy around?! imo anyway. well, alongside BME. is WSM harder to appreciate unless you're from the south west? otherwise you'll know why this image is both humorous and sinister! total classic!

ยฃ2K for WSM
ยฃ3K for HC

PM's or comments always welcome

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by junkieart on Jun 13, 2008 22:26:13 GMT 1, WSM looks quite different to mine, looks more of a browny band, though the signature looks exactly the same, I also have a HC at work very nice not signed though. My HAND is my fav, but my QV is also nice :-)

Seem a steal to me - they are obviously not part of the official edition run, so hence the price.

But, how does one distinguish a gentleman from a non-gentleman, and does it make any difference if you are servicing them.
