$50 IS LIMITED TO 500 COPIES, ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE DUST JACKET

Did they even sell out of them?

This exhibition just sounds absolutely pathetic to me. I may be wrong but I doubt these guys would ever care to try and stage this exhibition (and enrich new york with great new Banksy work) if they didn't think they'd be able to make thousands of pounds while doing it. Even the catalog is overpriced and the limited edition version is practically a joke..

Anybody have a price list from these jokers? Can't wait to see.

[jffriedman]

This was a total joke! i was there opening night. Don't know all the prices, but as some I remember (maybe because they were out of control) Prices in USD

Unsigned laugh now 6k
Kate moss one at 180K one at 200k
I fought the law AP (Red) 80k

It was so lame.. pictures hung at angles, it was dark.. I just could not see who was buying this stuff the way it was presented. Saw a lot of people being dragged around by their art consultants telling them to buy stuff. When most of these people heard the prices they ran for the door. One good thing about it was that they pretty much had everything the B man every made.

Pathetic attempt at a show. These few words sum it up...

So a good retrospective then.

Anyone have more images?

[ricosg11]

everything was in crap condition too. Crap gallery space. Kinda makes me want to make my own go of it if these jokers can pull it off. Two items were signed as gifts to people by Banksy, including the 60kusd flags on formica signed to Ben

[neutral]

It is still the opportunity to see a flag on Formica for some that did not me say.

[ricosg11]

I agree. It was great to see it all in peson. All if not most for the first time. It was just so poorly put together.

[bill]

When you say stuff was in crap condition do you mean the prints and originals were in crap condidtion?

[greeneny]

Jeez is it really that bad? I was going to go over Sunday but just didn't have the time and so I thought I'd make it during the week but now ?

[ricosg11]

Ok here it is.

It was great to finally see all these great prints, and some below avg originals.The large Jack and Jill on butcher type paper was nice, but not at 400kusd. All the prints were framed but most had visible damage to them (dings, creases). Its worth seeing if you have not seen all the work already, otherwise stay inside where its warm.

You should check it out since there won't be the huge hipster scene that come along for the openings...

plenty of photo sets of the show on flickr

this one seems quite comprehensive

Many thanks for that.

[illings]

a Damien Hirst Catalogue once went for 250GBP, so I reckon Banksy will be just as popular!

With that little lot on the walls there must have been a few CCTV's in the place??!

Looks very 'ghetto-like' the way they've displayed works.

[jellya]

Any Radar Rat (s)?

[ricosg11]

I don't care how edgy the artist or gallery is - at least hang the sh!t straight!!! ;D

Can someone take a bunch of pics of the formica flags? That the only thing I really want to see from this show.

[ricosg11]

honestly, you wont be able to see the difference from a photo, you could barely tell in person that it was different. The sig looked like it was carved in with a razor or a very fine silver pen.

[bobbymeachamjr]

I liked the "crooked" display of some pieces. As for selling shirts = mad lame
