Banksy sale - Amsterdam , by daveyuk on Mar 31, 2015 9:53:35 GMT 1, Hi there,
Has anyone bought Banksy art from any of the European art dealers? In particular I'm trying to find out if anyone has used an Amsterdam gallery called Lionel Gallery please? Am thinking of purchasing and they seem quite legit and have an amazing selection of original Banksy prints.
I would appreciate any advice please.
Big thanks from BS2

However, I am sure that you buy a good honest banksy at them. Just wonder if they sell you a Banksy out of popularity or their love for street art.

They will probably sell you a Banksy because their a gallery and that's what they do to make money.

And in this market not many, I see Unlawful art have a unsigned LIITA for ยฃ15500.00
I can't say i'm surprised, as I always thought this images was going to catch up to GWB. They are getting hard to find.

That would be someone who sells it for less than they paid for it.

Banksy sale - Amsterdam , by alexdb on Mar 31, 2015 15:29:05 GMT 1, daveyuk....they are also located in Laren (a luxury town with high class shops etc) and have there exhibitions in partnership with a Porsche dealer, a private bank, jewelry shop and yachting business. I do not consider that a street art environment and their inventory is in my opinion an easy inventory with names like Hirst, Warhol, Appel, Corneille, all very popular in that market. I do not feel there is much room for new talent and/or cheaper art. I would be much happier to step into a gallery where I can find Banksy's work in between unkown work that may reach a much broader audience.
It is just a matter of taste and personal opinion. I am sure that if you buy your Banksy at them, you will get a good service and easy to deal with them. It might cost you a price, but like I said, its personal taste.

I understand your point about finding little places that are more in tune with urban art. It's very difficult these days in almost all large cities.
Veel dank nogmaals street art vriend

I'm very grateful to have a reply from someone in the Netherlands who knows the scene. I didn't expect that. I understand your point about finding little places that are more in tune with urban art.

Banksy sale - Amsterdam , by Deleted on May 29, 2015 20:01:49 GMT 1, I bought a piece from them last year and the transaction was smooth - it was really pricey tho. I just enquired about some of the pieces they have on the site and was quoted 9k euro for an unsigned Grannies. Needless to say I didn't even start negotiating.
