I bought a faile Macbeth a while ago and absolutely love it. Yet the sale price on ebay is only just above its purchase price from POW. I was wondering if anyone else had a print that they reckoned needed to be re-assessed.

Dolk Che for sure. If Banksy did it, it would be everyone's favorite. How fickle we are. It makes me wonder if Banksy is tempted to play with this concept and watch his work sit on the shelf whist Dolk's new piece goes crazy with a Banksy tag.

Judgement day, the best print I own!

We have got loads of brilliant stuff coming out from all over the place at the minute And as Finsburyparkranger says, if they had a Banksy tag on they would be selling out within seconds forget about the names people! ;D Buy what you like ;D Buy what you connect with ;D

Eine - Circus ;D Pure class!

I agree JD is criminally under-rated, takes pride of place in my living room. Can't believe the prices they are going for... all the Micallefs are going for decent prices at the moment

Not keen on the MacBeth though, I think it pales in comparison to the Faile prints off their website

But massively, hugely under-rated are the Eine Monster prints

[stuey09]

I love Gee Vauchers Liberty. Very poignant and with an unsigned at £25.00 pretty hard to go wrong.

[stuey09]

Couldn't agree more MM. I only had MacBeth prior to the Faile I picked up last week. The difference in quality is incredible. There is no comparison. But, having said that, if MacBeth is working for someone else, then good on 'em.

Hewlett's big sponge finger is still one of my favourite prints that and D*face cli che quality print.

100% agreed

Ben Tour- Zora
wicked print and loads left £100 including postage.
certainly not underated by me

[stuey09]

Only the criminally insane could underate Cli che

Yep! forgot about that one Cli Che is the best print of 2007 so far ;D

[themightyreds]

For me the Insect Kid prints in gold are the most underratted ones around - they just look great framed up next to each other!

[carlito]

ahhhhh stop it guys my credit card has been taking a battering the last couple of weeks,,and now you're convincing me to get cli che love that print and at the moment price seems to be dropping on the bay...now if the same could happen with angel bombers.... hmmm

[lastpost]

I love Faile Poison Boy Black - stunning in the flesh!!

[tadghostal]

All over these forums I read, "Flippers/Baggers=bad; because they make everything too expensive for real fans."

And here I read, "Macbeth needs to be re-assessed because its not expensive enough."




Is this so-called reassessment supposed to be a good thing? If so, can you help me understand how/why it would be a good thing? It seems to me, that in the perfect world that always gets the anti-bagger crowd's panties in a knot, no print would ever become more expensive than its original retail.

Maybe Faile's MacBeth is the print that will help create that perfect world; it is the messiah of the art print world, coming to proclaim the arrival of our long awaited anti-bagger mecca.

As far as under-rated prints go, my favorite is by the stencil-artist out of London known as Stef. It is titled "This is your Life". Her stuff is on hoodacious.co.uk. I was lucky enough to get a canvas of "This is your Life" that has been "distressed". Series of 1

It's my favorite, and I think it's just as good as anything Banksy has done. (Some of her other art, though, not so good.)

I would snap one up on ebay now if I were you I have been eyeing a few up myself, coz its such a top quality piece ;D

[hankpank]

Rob> Don't quote me on this, but i think Stef is a he, and is the moderator on the late/great Ebay forum and possibly the new Wall Candy Forum.

[carlito]

silky stop it man...won't have a roof over my head at this rate

[rob123rob]

Oh, I could be wrong. Thanks for the info. On the hoodacious site there is no bio/info.
Do you like the piece though?

But if a Cli Che ends up being worth more than the roof

;D

[romanywg]

Cli Che is my favorite print so far this year and surprised it hasn't been fetching more on the bay. The quality is second to none.

[motor]

For me generally it's Faile stuff-those prints are seriosly amazing if you can talk about prints/multi layers, lots of colors, paint strokes, spits.../ still underrated IMO

[carlito]

i guess it's a pretty big print..could be my roof

[alvington89]

It's interesting to note that whilst the Eelus prints went like hot cakes at SG the Faile prints didn't sell well at all.
All that changed the second people got wind of the Lazarides show.

[dave313perry]

Hi guys sorry to butt in, reasonably new to the forum, i personally love micallefs jd, from all his work i think its massivly underated!

[sausageboonwee]

I think Banksy's Flag, produced for charity and sold cheaply is actually a very special print. In time we're all going to realise how lucky we are to own one.

[dave313perry]

good call, especially considering the prices they have been going for on the bay in comparison to other recent prints, maybe large edition scared many flippers
