The starting bid is 20000 Skr equivalent to 2000 UK pounds. I spent this autumn trying to figure out how i can bid upon it but i cant. It is from "Pictures on walls" as one out of 600 and it looks really fantastic.  I wanted to bid on it myself and make sure that as few as possible knew anything about it. I understand my finacial situation does not give me the opputunity to bid - hence it is better it goes to those who like urban art. At 20 - 30 i figure its a bargain.

Btw, lots of nice other works at this auction, if luck be with me, i will bid on a Christo.

Best regards;

And as a result makes it a very expensive gamble!

There's lots of other goodies in that auction. Some tasty David Lachapelles, and a mediocre Thomas Ruff (I may bid because it's Thomas Ruff and I can afford it). But I think what does it for me is the 60 pound Swatch C-Monsta from 1995, why is it in the same auctions as the Banksy?

Also you should start a thread in the auction section of the forum as there is loads of interesting pieces in the auction.

Ha, I agree its rubbish.

also jus realised that I've been getting very confused with the pricing.

Couldn't help noticing you didn't mention the Banksy street sign in the other auction.

[misterquiche]

checked with the auction house. The current owner bought the Banksy print at the cutting edge exhibition at Allmäna Galleriet in Stockholm 2005. The exhibition included pieces by the whole POW-collective and is by the Scandinavian audience considered legendary. However there is no Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity issued for this print.

For me an unsigned barcode in good condition with a COA would have to be around the £3,000 to £3,500 mark (30,000 SEK to 35,000 SEK).

Being objective about this one it has condition issues "The sheet is slightly darker in the extreme margin" and no COA.

An estimate of £2,000 to £3,000 (20,000 SEK to 30,000 SEK) is not unreasonable so it should be interesting to see where it ends up. The big question has to be the condition of this one.

Mason - do you think the darkness in the margin is due to an issue with production or has it been caused subsequently?

[mouser]

Sounds like it was framed behind a window mount with the main print being sunbleached, leaving the darker boarder. Not uncommon but certainly not mint if thats the case. Depends how someone would value it individually depending on the level of damage. One of the dangers of poor framing coming back to haunt you, the reason why a lot of folk float mount prints, prevents this happening.

no Coa and damage.... Not ideal for selling at a premium, home someone doesnt get carried away.
