I keep hearing all this stuff about small canvases and pieces of art hidden throughout the Dismaland park?
I am from Chicago and couldn't make the show - any truth to these rumors? Sounds like an opportunity for counterfeiters...
Cheers
John

Nah, just people trying to sell s**t on eBay What cornish said! I think it started with the dodgy looking drawings of Mickey and the Dismaland Castle being put on the bay. I expect people saw these and took the opportunity to take things further! |

... you couldn't make it up ... Oh Yes! THEY DID!
"This Unloved Teddy Bear was found along with 4 other rare items all located behind a wheel on a moped in Banksy's Cinderella Crash piece.
It looks great and the style lends itself to possibly Banksy or Paul Insect, of course there is no way of confirming what artist created it but it is the perfect collectors item nevertheless.
As this piece was found at Dismaland and not purchased I have no receipt or certificate."

Im gutted, I feel for all unloved Teddy Bears, if anyone has one they are chucking out let me have it, not the Dismaland ones though, those are waaaaaaaay too common......and let's be honest.....fkin ugly. |

This one is the best , incredible !
I found a poor and abandoned condom behind the stage crying : " Daddy, daddy I'm an authentic son of Dismaland designed behind a caravan with a few spawners which seem to be some authentic sperm of iron horses at the head of cabbage .. "
Probably from lost fish fingers meeting some sexy anvils where the bar were Banksy drank a coffee with Damien Hirst and ate a pizza with Bela Lugosi...
A very dismal and rare souvenir for DNA collectors only ...
No reserve please...

I searched for hours for the signed gravel that I heard a rumour was being released. No luck I must have been too late.
Note to self. Q at least a week earlier next time.

I'm loving the poor spray quality of some of the 'found' canvasses on eBay. You'd have thought the fakers would have had a few practise sprays first, but it doesn't look like it!
Often accompanied by descriptions like this: 'the stencil image in spray paint is pretty neat'.
Hilarious!!

But they are not all fake ( even if most of them are ) Well Lewis Bannister begins the game it seems... ( or other street-artists had hidden soem pieces of there making them some advertisments )) |

It was cool how Banksy gave original canvases to the artists who perform, I went on the night fatboy slim and Run the Jewels were on and Killer mike of RTJ was walking around and shaking hands with fans and stuff!

Some of it was quite a good idea, The Dismalhand pieces by DMS were quite amusing. Tiny little severed micky hands hidden around the park. Still on eBay now so not overly limited but much better than the black balloons and goldfish stuff!

www.bathchronicle.co.uk/Banksy-s-Dismaland-memorabilia-goes-sale-auction/story-29138400-detail/story.html"Memorabilia from Banksy's 2015 summer exhibition Dismaland are to under the hammer at an auction later this month.
Bristol Auctions will be hosting the sale on April 28. The collection of Banksy and Dismaland memorabilia and artwork is going on sale by a vendor who wishes to remain anonymous.
"It's a real 'snapshot' collection," said auctioneer Andrew Stowe. "There's everything from a giftshop bracelet to a piece of 'free' hidden art by Banksy himself."

these auction houses care about one thing.. Money! I had contacted that exact auction house regarding a Kusama works on paper and its authenticity. The response "it is a 100% authentic watercolor painting". I then asked if it was a 100% authentic watercolor painting by Yayoi Kusama. The response "We can only verify it is an authentic watercolor not the artist". f**kingscumbags. true story

Hi,
I bought a "Love Rat" canvas (20cm tall) on the Bay soon after Dismaland. The seller (as most of you prob have heard already) said it was bought outside off some official unofficial seller for £40.
Has anybody else bought any of these? Do you have any idea of its origin? Is it just a fake/scam or a genuine replica haha?
Merci
I don't know how to put picture...
