Originals v Prints, by nacional on Apr 28, 2010 12:35:03 GMT 1, A thought for today type thingy.
My buying a canvas didn't quite go down as hoped due to a few reasons.
But as I am now on the hunt for prints, I am thinking that for the price of a pretty mediocre canvas you can get a bushel or great prints.
What would you go for: a hard hitter canvas (just one) or a bunch of fantastic prints like 4 tins, assorted AP's, weird and wonderful Nolas etc...
whaddyado...

Originals v Prints, by schlomo on Apr 28, 2010 12:50:13 GMT 1, for me it depends on the image man, I would certainly take a canvas HW over the majority of prints.
However i'd also love a signed Barcode, and a signed radar rat, and a signed rude copper (not a singed one tho mate sorry), so would take those over some of the other canvas work. All about the image and less about the medium for me.
Also bushel is such a good collective term man, good stuff, lets bring that back into modern society.

I agree. Takes a lot to beat 4 walls with Kate, LIITA, Barcode and Radar Rat.

With an original you know that Banksy has actually cut the stencil and sprayed the canvas, as opposed to most prints (especially the newer ones) where he would have had a stack of finished prints plonked in front of him to sign through.
I think the Radar Rat prints, and the hand finished rude coppers offer the best of both worlds - really strong classic images which have had banksy actually work on them so i'd be tempted with those if I couldn't find a canvas I liked in your price range.
