Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by Smokeidaeye on Sept 4, 2020 17:02:37 GMT 1, Is that an honest question? Or whatever I answer will you tell me I'm wrong and its Basquiat? In honesty, I don't know who THE ORIGINAL STREET ART LEGEND is, and I would struggle to decide, I'm quite amazed you can do so so unequivocally. You easily brushed aside Haring, Quinones and Fab 5 Freddy to name a few.... All legends imo. It was an honest question, since you said it was a stretch I was curious to know. Haring is amazing, but Samo was active before him so I'd more easily attribute the "original" portion of the title to him. and the entire world knows who Samo is, where as maybe 1% know Lee Quiñones or Fab 5, so it's pretty easy for me to attribute the "legend" title to him.
As a quick fact check, Taki183 brought New York City's graffiti to the forefront after being profiled in the New York Times in 1971, well before Basquiat and Haring.
Perhaps you could say that Haring, Basquiat, or both of them were pioneers in the commercialization of graffiti but to say they are the original legends diminishes the work of countless other names who are ignored simply because they didn't have the gallery representation and high society hype to commoditize their work.

Taki183 was active for a few years and then gave it all up and runs a mechanic shop (absolutely nothing wrong with that). But if he didn't care enough to continue his work, I'd have a hard time calling him a legend in the space.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by Shoeless on Sept 4, 2020 18:09:03 GMT 1, Legend debate aside....
Why not auction the Banksquiat and buy a LIITA?
Seems that’s the best route if you believe values are equal.

assuming both are the same value of let say 100K:
If you sell the B you will receive 100K minus auction cost, so maybe 90-95K
When then want to buy the LIITA you would have to bid 100K and then pay 130K

Was hinting at the difficulty of finding a Signed LIITA for the amount a Banksquiat would bring.
Disregard.

Or even worse… those 90-95 after taxes become… 55? 60?

I tried to contact them but received no response. And what would be the import duties etc. worries me. Any information would be useful.

one was sold at auction about 12-18mths ago, irl1 or someone will know when and for how much but i recall it was lower than what most thought, below £100k including fees.

With the recent rises in price I don’t think I would have any idea what one might go for. If I had the money though, I’d buy it in heartbeat. There’s a person I follow on Instagram who has the most incredible home which is a converted church. He/she/they have a grappling hook which is just the most wonderfully fitting place for it and the way they have displayed it is genuinely brilliant. They have a lot of other wonderful things in their collection too.
Perhaps they’re (you’re) on here and, if so, I absolutely adore your home and collection!!!

I wish. I don’t have a dog in this particular fight. I just find it intriguing how the result of one particular auction has a ripple, or tsunami, affect on everything else.
