What make's you question this..... are there rumours running around?

[rockbeer]

I don't think he can be.

If he is, then why the hell has the recent threads list suddenly been polluted by all these ancient ones? Most don't even have a new post – they're just popping up all over the place for no apparent reason.

The Art Newspaper has reported that employees of the company that authenticates and publishes Banksy prints "Pictures on Walls" (POW), have been selling unauthorized Banksy prints on eBay. Not only have the Banksy prints been forged with a replica POW stamp and fake Banksy signature, but they have also used shill bidding, where the bids are artificially inflated by friends of the seller.

A whistelblower that was involved with the scam alerted the Art Newspaper to the eBay auctions. There were anything from 25 to 100 fake Banksy prints sold.

Revealed: the eBay Banksy print fraud
In a statement Banksy, his dealer Steve Lazarides, and the directors of POW, confirmed that unauthorised prints “have been sold on eBay” and stressed that they along with members of the public “have been victims of criminal behaviour”. The company has launched a full-scale investigation and is inviting concerned collectors wanting to reauthenticate their Banksy prints to come forward." The Art Newspaper

Hey all

I haven't been on here for some time and wondered whether someone could help me with a couple of odd requests. 

I can't find my emails from the 2017 POW closing downs sale. I'm beginning to think I may have bought the items from a work account which has subsequently shut but am certain that I used my personal account. 

I've been searching for: 
POW
picturesonwalls
order no# 

I also can't access much past a couple of years on my paypal account which is crazy.. 

Can someone message me the email tag line from POW from the closing downs sale please? 

so so annoying.. 

Thanks in advance

POW never took PayPal as payment so will be on a bank statement also it would have been Sage Pay maybe searching for that will help.

You can go back further on PayPal but you have to download older transaction reports

Suggest Pictures On Walls as separate words and also protx which was their payment system for a while.

[purpleandred]

Thanks all - I'll try the above. seems like a lifetime ago..!

[dotdot]

iirc - they used to take payment using protx , have a search on that in your inbox.

Bollox to this. I must have used an old work Email Address, can anyone tell me the week/month in 2017 these went up please? I'll need to dig into old bank statements now... infuriating.

Why do you need that information?

What do you mean? see the thread please. I don't feel like trawling through an entire years worth of expenses in 2017 to try and find the transaction in question.

Jose in Spain can email you a fake POW Soup Cans receipt if you ask him

[Acme Thunderer]

I found this on my old emails just by searching POW, then I got upset when I found email receipts of the Invaders I used to own.

[Acme Thunderer]

To find old purchase emails, they ALWAYS have this in the title…

Hi All,

From the rise and fall of Pictures On Wall, who has been succeeding to POW in either way of thinking, quality and engagement in the street art ?

Absolutely no one comes close or probably ever will. It’s now too much about making as much money as possible rather than focusing on quality releases and breaking new artists from across the world. As customers they really educated us.

The scene has changed too much now. It does surprise me the lack of original ideas and creativity plus how lazy the scene is getting. Everything also has to sell out in one second otherwise not deemed a success.

POW never promoted themselves as a business who would deliver high customer service expectations (part of their charm), but they were bloody good at it.

[Dice]

Is there such a thing as street art any more? Not in terms of a genre or a scene I would say.

It was a movement of its time, very exciting to be a part of.

Now it’s all just Contemporary Art I suppose and the new galleries and print houses reflect this.

[Slipped Crown]

Unfortunately nothing close to POW now, nor do I think there will be.

[user2006]

It was a different time when POW started. Online shopping was in it's infancy and Facebook and Instagram wasn't a thing.

We are now over saturated with artists and images. It's hard to see how the excitement of POW can be replicated. Infact, it cannot be replicated and nor should it be. However, that doesn't mean something new and exciting can't come along. It will need sincere and authentic art with a way of delivering it that's different.

Possibly a rejection of social media and online? Solely focusing on the real life experience?

[Bill Hicks]

MANIFESTO

Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. We, the public, fill concert halls and cinemas every day. We read novels by the millions and buy records by the billions. We, the people, affect the making, the taste and the quality of our culture.

The Art we look at, however, is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Not more than 5000 people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist waving flags at a parade. A parade where the winner was decided without you.

We want to make Art that charts. We thought of calling it a revolutionary new way to sell Art but it's not revolutionary. It's just cheap.

The malls are coming out of the walls.

[k13]

From 2017 until now, artist from the scene are still the same but none of them decide to create something to promote new artist or at least attempt to pass their message through art for the following generation... unfortunetly in every sector you will find capitalisism manner and greed...but thats why they should had an end on it ?
