Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by minutewheel on Nov 3, 2009 23:04:20 GMT 1, I'm sure you're a nice guy but to be honest it sounds to me like to you're trying to rinse as much info out of this lot purely for your own person gain. I imagine that once you've brought your beloved print you will never been seen on here again. Get out on the street, put the work in- go do your research, find out all you can. (Take a trip to Dalston, Highbury, Hoxton, Bristol, Croydon, New Orleans, West Bank, Timbuktoo) Do it all, and then come back and tell us why you want the print. Until that time please stop using us and get off the bandwagon. Banksey - i'm mean really - that's a wind up right!!
Although, if you do wish to continue your 'info. purge' PM chrisvidal, he'll help you out.
Blood sugar levels are low if you cant tell!

yeah, i wouldn't put much weight into unhelpful posts such as this. looking up the websites and asking questions is exactly what most people would do learning about something. There is nothing wrong about checking into your wife's spending habits 
Hopefully in doing this, it will open your own eyes in addition to your wife's and you can enjoy the art as well.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by junta on Nov 4, 2009 16:31:10 GMT 1, could it be something to do with them being a registered owner and therefore not wanting to give out their name to anyone but the winning bidder? I'm actually not sure if you can just ring a gallery and ask for the registered owner of print no. but if you can...
artists using ebay may do it so the bidder doesnt think they are bidding on a specific numbered print, rather just one of the edition.

Interesting  . Do you honestly think that there is an answer to that question? Buying art as an investment is incredibly difficult, especially at this end of the market, so the advice most on here would give you is to buy it with the view that it will be worth jacksh*t in 10 years time. If you can't afford to lose the silly amount of money you're about to spend on your first print, and knowing as little as you do about art and the art market, then I would advice you to think long and hard about doing so. If you can afford to lose £9k, but love the image, then go ahead buy it and enjoy it on your wall, but don't be so naive as to ask whether you can make sh*t loads of money from buying a few prints at £5k+ as you're right, it's one hell of a gamble.
I don't wish to have a go, and I'm not by the way, merely offering my opinion. There plenty of people on here who will suggest that Banksy is the next big thing (largely because they hope for the same thing) ... there's far more people out there who would say the opposite and would advise heavily against spending £9k on a print...

No really, calling you a tw@t is not needed! But then if you ever talk money here you usually get called a tw@t.
I think i agree with hlarmy, don't buy unless you like a print! Investing in art is super risky, and only if you bought something you really like will you always be satisfied, whatever happens. Don't buy thinking you'll make shit loads as most likely you won't.

Should have bought it then, but had just splashed out on a number of pieces and was trying to be sensible!

I moved my collection away from unsigned prints, so that went towards buying signed prints.

I finally got one after perhaps 2years searching - and no it's not for sale...
would guess at 2k+

Most iconic Banksy image there is if you ask me. I wouldn't mind having a signed liita, but I can't justify parting with about $10,000 additional to have the same exact print just with a signature.

However, well done to whoever got it. Must be someone who reads on here.
