Banksy Release This Year?, by leumasdarnley on Oct 28, 2008 16:25:21 GMT 1, I'm going to say something that might get me flogged but with the evolution of street art from artists like Herakut and many others, is it just me or are the LA 2006 images not only way over due but now almost boring? It would almost be a giant disappointment for me to see Festival released vs something new. He has been doing some sweet street pieces but I still can't help but wish for a solid solo show. New images new techniques something new, if it means so much to him that people not buy and flog his art then do a show and donate all the pieces to charity. Secondly I think it would at this point be worth while for Banksy to come out of the dark. I think it would be healthy for everyone to be able to know what or who Banksy is. Because at this point Banksy could just be a name for a colab members unknown. Thats cool but then where are we a masked man or group without boundaries? Sounds cool but is it? Am I crazy? I actually agree about the LA prints. I'm hoping, perhaps in vein, that some/all of them will be released in conjunction with a new image or two. As far as we know it was only the remaining 400 of 2 images due unsigned right? A lot of progress has been made since then and it would seem a shame if the next release were simply old images being purged from stock. Regarding his trying new techniques, animatronics not diversification enough for you? Besides I have the feeling something else might still be in the works for the year-end. No idea what, but something else. So far this year we've had Cans 1 + 2, now the petshop and I reckon there might be something new yet to come (call me greedy). As stated, maybe in place of a Ghetto, which couldn't really top last year's if we're being honest. Personally I really don't agree that he should "come out," as it were. The enigma that is Banksy works so well, in part, due to his Scarlet Pimpernelesque image. He's become infamous. Why would he risk losing that edge, that thing which sets him apart?
Totally hear you but whose to say at this point that Banksy isn't just Ben Eine's ideas funded by Steve Laz? These kinds of questions have been in my head ever since that article came out about Robin Gunningham and then I think it was mammal who found the obituary for a Robin Gunningham last year add the wierd signature. Nothing even Banksy's website is necessarily Banksy himself speaking by design. Ok ok the consumer always wants more and the fact that he is not traditional was the reason I was drawn to him. Here is a picture of me with a few of my conspiracy notes I wrote on a window about my theory if anyone wants to share.

Still think most of the LA stuff wipes the floor with everything that has followed by so many people (Banksy included, S&S is IMO awful) and sale ends seems to be more poignant now than ever with the current economic climate?

Banksy Release This Year?, by graeme501 on Oct 28, 2008 20:02:17 GMT 1, but why would he take so long to release them? there must be a reason for the delay - it cant be because he hasnt had the time as there was the stop and search release last ghetto
wild speculation time - maybe banksy has fallen out with laz, and laz was due to recieve a cut of the LA prints, so he doesnt release them, instead, a new print (s&s) where he is not contacted to give any cash to anybody else and it can go all to charity
of course, laz and pow are linked, so this makes no sense, but banksy hasnt released any new print/canvas (to my knowledge) this year, even the laz extravagansa show had to dig up two year old photo-prints to show

true, but he released stop and search, its odd to abandon the end two prints in a series and release something new

Banksy Release This Year?, by graeme501 on Oct 28, 2008 20:27:25 GMT 1, in the end, as long as banksy keeps producing great street work, and interesting events like ghetto07, cans, and the NY pet shop, does it really matter if he doesnt produce any more prints? the majority of people miss out anyway, but at least with street work, its everyone's to enjoy

Banksy Release This Year?, by linkd95 on Oct 28, 2008 20:40:58 GMT 1, There shouldnt be any private views because even if someone does spend big money at a gallery the piece is still going to sell anyway (depending which artist). But when you think about it, if you were a very popular gallery which had millionaires coming to it to buy art you would want them to buy as much as you can make them? Yes or No NOT SURE?

Banksy Release This Year?, by raiden on Oct 29, 2008 10:46:10 GMT 1, Silky, I've been wondering this for a bit... and feel a bit cheated that I was one of the first to get to the pet store and no prints...
Honestly, I think the question comes down to motives.... Who is Banksy doing his work for? Or more importantly, who is he doing his prints for. By waiting all this time, prices have gone stratospheric on certain prints because supply is being held low by having no new prints.
If the plan was to allow as many die hard fans as possible to get a chance to own a print, the best way to achieve that would be through a massive Banksy print dump. He's one of the few artists who could dump 5,000 prints or more at a time and find buyers.
Wouldn't be the worst publicity for Banksy to have the most successful print release in history - and even with the weaker market, not a single person on this board would shell out 500 quid on a signed Banksy. Doing the math, if Banksy made 10 prints, ed. 1000, at 500 BP... That would that would equate to roughly 5M quid.
A print offering of that magnitude or greater in this economy would certainly make news.
While this is a bit ambitious - based on how quickly other prints have sold out, I think he could easily sell out this many prints in a matter of hours.
So the optimist in me is saying that he's busy signing as we speak.
Plus, it would be good for his fans to release another print rather than have prices continue to escalate to the point of the stratosphere.

I think thats sadly true many have seen the values of their collections rise and have sold up and moved on.

Banksy Release This Year?, by Daniel Silk on Oct 29, 2008 11:06:19 GMT 1, Yeah, I think a run of 5,000 would be a great move by Banksy ;D I would imagine he might see it as a bit of a risk but Im confident it would be brilliant move! ;D Thousands of people would be able to get their first Banksy ;D ;D ;D
5,000 at £100

I dont think any future releases would be as easy as sitting in front of your pc F5ing all the time

I agree they would still sell out pretty fast ;D but I dont think they would be flippable I'm sure they would buy up loads hoping they would be but I don't think it would work out for them ;D

POW know that there are just to many people out there with various forms of sniping software, and why should Banksy want to line their pockets?
Or go for the unlimited route, like with the Soup Can posters?

Banksy Release This Year?, by Daniel Silk on Oct 29, 2008 11:55:46 GMT 1, Oh yeah! I think 5,000 at £100 each would sell out easy. Loads of people around that have only just started to find out about Banksy and would jump at the chance to get their hand on a piece. I dont think 10,000 would sell out instantly but would still be gone within a few weeks.

said it before, but bugger all people went to it, before all the talk on the board was where it would be, and everyone was talking about new york, and people googling hotels and flights, and other locations it could be
well bethlehem was nearer and cheaper, but from how long the prints took to sell out, uve got to say there was less than 200 people that went over
