Question to banksy morons owners, by maadbeats on Dec 19, 2011 16:53:47 GMT 1, In all seriousness. How do you feel when you look at this print.? I like it but not sure if I could actually hang it. Then when you have guests over do they look at it and think your the moron? These thoughts popped in my head while looking at a couple of these that are for sale. Please discuss

Not a problem for me as mine's on the wall round at my daughter's flat - I haven't seen it for about a year (it's in her bedroom)

Question to banksy morons owners, by saint on Dec 19, 2011 17:07:46 GMT 1, I have an unsigned, its up there with my favourite banksy prints and i'd love to own a signed one at some point. Its in the office so people dont normally see it so i dont get many comments.
I enjoy it every day, and dont feel like a moron because of owning it.

Question to banksy morons owners, by chaturz on Dec 19, 2011 18:56:22 GMT 1, I would love to own this print, UK black and white unsigned version. Would happily hang it up in any room. I don't think the message is specific to that print but street art in general especially high prices of canvases at auction. Interesting if you look at what his ogs were going for at auction prior to this release. I don't think the statement is related to prints as in truth prints are small potatoes just my thoughts

Question to banksy morons owners, by chunster9 on Dec 19, 2011 21:03:04 GMT 1, I love it, has a lot of detail. I have the signed sepia print and I love seeing it on the wall everyday.........don't like it as much as the soupcan I had but that bought me a VW campervan and a new synthesizer:-) I prefered the Soupcan but Morons is much more impressive on the wall.

I don't think it's a comment on street art at all but rather a comment on the art market generally. Banksy made this piece for the 2006 LA show when there wasn't the same buzz around him there is now, although he was still popular obviously.

Interesting comment. I've had mine hung in my dining room since I got it from POW and no one's every suggested that - though who knows maybe they've thought it. Doesn't much matter. I like the fact that it's a bit tongue in cheek -- it's good not to take yourself too seriously:

Taking into account all of the above, there's nothing wrong with being able to laugh at yourself , life is inherently ridiculous anyway.

Question to banksy morons owners, by Rolex on Dec 20, 2011 0:38:54 GMT 1, I've been thinking about purchasing a b/w signed morons for a long time, & I can honestly say I've never once thought he was taking the p**s about owners of this print, ( or doing a gerald ratner ) more like as others say taking the p**s out of the art market in general. My reason for having second thoughts on purchasing one was other than one red banksy most of my art collection is black/ white or grey & feel maybe I need to add some more colour in to it, so for now at least I'm looking for a coloured soup can & then maybe a morons. Deffinatly a great print though !

Question to banksy morons owners, by maumau93 on Dec 20, 2011 11:23:45 GMT 1, you cant help but laugh when you see these selling at auction...
and although it probably wasnt originally meant to be aimed at the urban art market i think it is quite accurate now considering some of the prices people command for 'art' just because it has a signature on it...

Question to banksy morons owners, by saint on Dec 20, 2011 13:43:01 GMT 1, its always amazed me that morons sells for such a low price compared to say grannies, j&j, even applause (which is the one banksy i would never want). I guess its for this reason! some people think you'd look like a moron having it on your wall.... which is odd, cos then instead they pay more for a different banksy print... so does that make them more moronic? who knows....

That is a stand out piece of Banksy art. Classic framing.
Personally, Morons and Trolleys (B&W, signed) are my holy grail of recent releases. Sepia is underrated too (IMO) and I might be in a position soon to underwrite Hooker's search / swap.
