Quality of banksy prints at auction, by sharesdjc on Aug 13, 2010 9:12:58 GMT 1, Hi all
Having never been to an auction house, how can you tell the quality of the prints that are framed, as many of them are?
Normally in private sales I ask for a print to be removed from the frame before buying, but I'm guessing this isn't possible at auction?
Thanks....

if it's a big price tag make sure you go view it in person and take a good look if its under a frame, sometimes you never know what materials have been used for the job. have a good look at the quality of the frame job and look at the print from all angles, this way you can spot any creases/marks etc.
