BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by Deleted on Jan 3, 2020 13:30:07 GMT 1, Why does people pay 500 pounds for that canvas? Hype? Hoping he will get big? Well 500 for a painting isn't unusual, I've paid around that for a painting by a completely unknown artist who I don't expect to get big. Probably doesn't hurt that the guy was involved in GDP in some way. Was a really cool show and I would have killed to have something to take away from it just to have a souvenir (would have taken a f**kingflier ). So I understand wanting to buy something from someone who was involved in the show even if the piece wasn't. That being said I ain't a fan of these myself and won't be purchasing.
This is fan art I believe and has no association with Banksy. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but it is what is. Buying something because of a possible tenuous connection is a bizarre reason to buy something and it doesn’t help new members in making buying decisions imo.

I have nothing to go on other than the instagram account and previous mentions in association, as in the dark as everyone else.
I agree and don't suggest buying unless you really do enjoy the pieces, just speculating as to why they're selling out in minutes.
New member myself so could be way off base.

I've got no idea who the guy is, if you read up I was also asking what the association was.

If, as you now state, you’ve no idea who the guy is nor any knowledge of him actually being involved in the show, probably best not to have stated twice in the first place that he was, yeah? Do you understand what I’m getting at? You’re just amplifying the bs. Yeh alright man, consider me telt.

That’s what happened in Dismaland ( with other artists - already well known before of course but much after - as Paco Pomet, I’m imbecile balloon by .. , Wasted Rita, or the poster by Jef Gillette etc ) in WOH with boxes, walls, artists exhibitions etc etc ... That’s why also some bought by the past some artworks because a connection with Banksy etc... I know you will answering me that’s not the same thing, but as said - when he was still here - the quote of LF here : « Unofficial official PR » .. As Fragile and Wiz collaborations were very asked .. Am I wrong ?

At least someone had the courage to ask haha. At this point i'm scared to even mumble anything GDP/Banksy related, even the unlimited mat.
Sounds like it's still a ways out, if they're just sharing the "Approximate Delivery Date."

Possible. That puts it around the 3 month mark. The waiting time is supposed to be 3 to 5 months.

Are you talking about the free prints given to children or items purchased from the shop?
Did you go and see the event in Croydon?

I had understood that it was done to prevent a company’s attempts to assert intellectual property rights over a Banksy image. I seem to recall that there was a statement to that effect and a rebuttal from the company. There was, of course, also a show for people to go and see. And sales to lucky winners. I don’t see how Banksy can be held responsible for the nefarious actions of others. There will always be ne’er-do-wells seeking to take advantage of whatever he does.
