And thats.... Magic!

Please don't quote Lionel as a source of the value of Banksy prints

Haha true true.

an auction is NOT a normal sale setting, a sale through that method can be an 'indicator' but given the psychology at play in that environment - that is all.

Apologies for interfering in your fs thread, I'm not interested in getting in a discussion on gallery sale prices (although suffice to say there are plenty of smoke and mirrors in that field + an uninformed clientele shall we say being led to water). I just wanted to make a statement regarding this new found belief here that sale prices are the same wherever they come from. They are clearly not.

Anyway you're offering yours for less than those stated, so that's cool.

Good luck with your sale.

Your probably Right but I think it's more likely that the market has been manipulated rather than supply and demand, who do you think controls the supply and demand for Banksy's work? It's just my opinion of course and the experience I have gained dealing in art over the years. I know the art market is bent as a bottle of chips and have seen it even at the low level that I deal in, but hey that's how it is and if your in this game you just have to accept it.

My original statement was nothing to do with supply or demand of Banky's work but purely that I think they are f#c#ing bananas to pay so much money for a piece of work that the artist in question has probably not even touched. I can understand people paying this for a signed work's and more for his original pieces because you would hope that he has actually had a hand in the making of it, some People will pay extortionate figures for art because they are lead to believe that it is worth that much, people will pay it and do pay it because they just can and to some people this is just pocket change.

I still feel and strongly believe that the supply and demand is controlled and manipulated and this could be by a number of way's either by shill bidding at auctions or by a well connected p.r team either way it makes no odd's to me as I am now way off ever being able to afford to buy a Banksy as much as I like his work it has now moved into a different class of collector/dealer and if I remember correctly the catalyst for the interest in Banksy was when the world news organisations announced that Brad and Angelina had bought some work's by him.

I do think it's great for those that bought Banksy's work before he was famous based purely on the fact that they loved the artwork, and I think it's great for those that have been able to make a bit money for themselves of the back of it but I feel something has changed with Banksy and something just does not fit right anymore and that is why so many threads are posted on here debating Banksy and his art.

I know I am probably setting myself up for a lot of abuse but this is a forum of many differing opinions and this is just mine.
 

That one for 17k is well priced. Laugh now is massively under valued and his best print. Snap them up while you can.
By the way I do own one

Think £10.5k for a LN is a fair price subject to condition.

For those asking - this is the COA

Seems like a fair price.  I wish I hadn't already moved through my 2017-2020 art budget.....

Just do your planning like the UK government - borrow from years to come to buy now!

That should work!

Yorkie

You will at that price....

Both are now sold.

Merci.

DROOL- GLWTS ling!!!
