On Banksy's long silence, by lee3 on Apr 25, 2013 16:36:27 GMT 1, To your point CG, there was that one at the museum which JB linked above and this one much like it in a black frame that found its way to auction:
And there was this one sprayed white from Barely legal:
And there is this one where only the middle one is painted white and i vaguely recall another HW painting somwhere with multiple elephants where just the middle one was white but i can't locate it at the moment using google. Whether it's a color thing, screwing around or something else entirely, i have no idea.

Any idea as to what that White Heavy Weaponry went for in auction? I truly think that work (or the one with the white frame) would be my holy grail. I absolutely love this imagery.

On Banksy's long silence, by blobbydon on May 7, 2013 6:57:14 GMT 1, I know that there has been at least one VIP only print released in the last 12 months. But all owners are sworn to secrecy on its content. If this is true.. How do you know?

On Banksy's long silence, by Wenters on May 8, 2013 19:16:47 GMT 1, Lots of opinions and speculation about this alleged VIP-only print. If indeed the myth is true I can't believe the image is anything other than iconic to warrant the price tag.... sadly its not - its a bit Nick Walker to be honest You really think that?.....the image was displayed in the MOCA exhibition and is a build on one of his classic images.
