Love Rat , by fourputt on Jan 13, 2008 3:21:55 GMT 1, With the amount of gushing over Banksy's Rats on this forum, I expected them to be one the more expensive pieces. But there is a BIN love rat on ebay for around 850. And one a couple weeks ago at a similar price that went unsold. Seems strange to me. If most people on this forum think it is such great work, then why is it barely more expensive than Grannies or Applause? I personally can't find the charm in the rats. More of a WSM, HAND fan.

Love Rat , by jB on Jan 13, 2008 4:19:50 GMT 1, thats funny because BME, WSM, HAND are my least favorite (i know im not the majority with that)
love rat is an edition of 600 which may make the print less expensive

Love Rat , by BONGO on Jan 13, 2008 15:57:13 GMT 1, RATS ARE TRULY ICONIC
BANKYS RATS ARE STILL DOTTED AROUND UK
BONGO FEEL THAT RATS WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE APEX OF POPULIST BANKSY OUTDOOR STENCIL WORK. BONGO KNOW THEY ARE SUBTLE, MISCHEVIOUS, SEDITIOUS AND SARCASTIC, STICKING TWO FINGERS UP AT THE WORLD AROUND THEM
BONGO KNOW THAT YOU NEVER SEE RATS BUT BONGO KNOWS THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, THEIR EXISTANCE IN THE URBAN HUBRIS UTTERLY SYMBIOTIC WITH THE INDELIBLE FOOTPRINT OF HUMANS
BONGO KNOWS THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SPACE IN THEIR HEAVILY MORTGAGED POMME DE TERRE FOR A HAPPY COPPER OR AN APPALUSE. EVERYONE HAS SPACE FOR A RAT SOMEWHERE.

By the way, check the most liked poll. My math has BME,WSM,HAND slightly ahead of the 4 rat prints. Fewer votes, with an extra piece to garner votes with. I don't know what your definition of a majority is, must mean something else in the UK.

My apologies. Now I realise that it had to be someone from outside of the Commonwealth.
