Applause or Toxic Mary?, by jhayes94108 on Apr 23, 2007 17:09:35 GMT 1, I am trying to decide which Banksy I want to buy next. I can only afford an unsigned piece. Should I buy an Applause or a Toxic Mary? Which of these two prints will do you all prefer? Which will be a better long term investment? And of course, which will be more of a "classic"?

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by tomhills1 on Apr 23, 2007 17:21:43 GMT 1, my logic regarding the long-term, has and always will be, buy whatever you would still be in love with even if it were worthless. if it appreciates then great, if the arse falls out of it then ce la vie.
so long as you love it that's all that matters, i prefer the applause image but had to let mine go because it is so huge - no room unfortunetly.
once you've bought your next print make sure you get it framed up and show us some pics too.
good luck.

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by Run Pig Run on Apr 23, 2007 17:29:31 GMT 1, Virgin Mary is one of my favourite prints and THE favourite Banksy print I own.
It's definatly more of a classic because one: it's older than applause and two: it's a stencil and has pretty cool drips on it.

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by Strange Al on Apr 23, 2007 23:42:14 GMT 1, Of the two, I'd go for the Toxic Mary.
TM is pretty much the slowest selling Banksy print POW have ever released. Though, it's a real slow burner! I have to admit that it took me a long time to warm to it and almost didn't buy it. But since I have, it's become one of the absolute favourite prints in my collection. The image is executed in the classic Banksy stencil style. The message is timeless, it's hard hitting and provokes debate. It's an absolutely arresting image, which draws the eye and mind. I love it!
The Applause is nice - the large size and its unique style (for a Banksy work) sets it apart from a lot of the other prints. Though for me it's just not in the same league as many of the classic stencil style images.

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by lesroy on Apr 23, 2007 23:46:37 GMT 1, I'd go for the Mary...
"proper" Banksy political image... the classic drips, banksy tag and mary appearing outside of the borders are stunning Banksy touches in my eyes.
Only problem with investment is that alot of people frown apon the image or think its horrid, for this reason I think it will never appreciate as much as an Applause... espeically when the Americans get even more into Banksy.
Just my thoughts but the best os what has already been said.. Bu it coz you love it!
My money would be on Mary... esp coz you'll save enough for Half a love rat on the framing for Appluase!

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by tadghostal on Apr 24, 2007 1:26:54 GMT 1, For me, it was and still would be Applause. It is unique among all the Banksy prints in the stylistic departure, the image is great, the message is likely to remain topical for both Brits and Americans for long time to come (unfortunately), and beyond that--its a lot of fun to look at!

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by welikestatic on Apr 29, 2007 15:07:47 GMT 1, I think they are both great, ;D
think applause is great image, message, concept, but also, technically a great print in terms of detail and the printing process,
however i think the simplicity of the Toxic Mary (again in terms of printing) wins it for me, i love it.
saying this i haven't had the privilege to see them in the flesh, so i may change my mind if i did.

haha. i was going to mention that. now it seems almost funny to me to see the "respect" given to and money spent on some of the earlier prints. TM, most of the rats, napalm, grin reaper, .... these seemed like they sat on the POW site for ages!
that said, i wish i had grabbed a napalm, laugh now, flower thrower, gwb, etc

Applause or Toxic Mary?, by ABC on Apr 29, 2007 21:26:35 GMT 1, If you want a long term investment, stick your money in the bank. If you want a print then Toxic Mary IMO is a classic, Applause for me is just too much of a Cut n Paste
