Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by rick523 on Oct 7, 2019 20:15:56 GMT 1, At Bottleneck, we’ve been pop-culture obsessed purveyors of art for almost a decade, but we’ve also always been major proponents of a wide variety of art, including street art. As longtime collectors ourselves, we’re always trying to represent artists and movements from different facets of the art world, and this week, we’re proud to unveil a release featuring a piece from the most notorious street artist and modern performance artist in the world, Banksy.
We’ve spent some time acquiring Banksy Di-faced Tenner’s from the private collection of Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s original art agent. Steve represented Banksy in his early years and brought his art into the public spotlight. The Di-faced Tenner was created for a public stunt Banksy had orchestrated that involved dropping a suitcase full of the fake currency in public, during rush hour at the Liverpool tube station in London and at the Notting Hill Carnival and Reading Festival. Later that year, an unknown amount of Tenners were also released at the exhibition preview of Santa’s Ghetto, held at Lazarides Gallery.
In addition to its fascinating history as an unperformed public stunt, the Di-faced Tenner had the honor of being Banksy’s first piece of art to enter in the British Museum private collection earlier this year.
Unfortunately, because the Di-faced Tenner has been one of Banksy’s most popular and widely circulated images, the piece is often counterfeited. Methods of identifying counterfeits have been debated, and there have rarely been occasions where pieces could be proven as 100% real...until now! We’ve made sure that each tenner that we sourced comes with a hand-signed letter of provenance from Steve Lazarides himself, guaranteeing the authenticity of each piece.
Each Di-Faced Tenner comes matted in a double sided framed with Japanese hinges so that both sides of the Tenner are visible. We’ve also added a matching holographic serial on both the rear of the frame and the letter of provenance for added security. Framing is done by ROOQ Fine Art Framing in NYC.
Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery as each piece is hand framed and then will be shipped priority with signature tracking. International orders will go out via DHL.
Banksy Di-faced Tenners will be available on Friday (10/11) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!

I ended up with a print outside of an edition (unsigned/unnumbered) that came from a bottleneck mystery tube. Artist said it was legit but had no knowledge of it and said it shouldn’t have been released. Also heard of them releasing a full run of a print an artist rejected and refused to sign. Has shaded their reputation a bit in my eyes.

Don’t know about the first thing but poor form to throw shade on a “I heard” IMO
I’ve had numerous purchases from Arcadium to BN and not only never had issue, their service has been great.

After we were left in the dust for a $1,500 print job and didn’t want to be a part of a second edition screwing over our customers, the artist had complete knowledge of the print being in our mystery tube as he was aware and ok’d the idea. Thankfully it worked out for him. The print got into many hands of his current fans and helped promote him with many saying it’s how they discovered him in the first place.

No he ok’d them. Loved the prints. This is a story that seems to pop up here and there with new assumptions. Issue was pricing and second editions. Learned a lot from that experience 3 years ago. I should have just went with the pricing. Live and learn.

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by stelio on Oct 8, 2019 3:00:54 GMT 1, BNG Crew is one of the best in the business. I’m in for the release on Friday. After seeing the recent auction results for Banksy, odds are these will be worth more than they are being charged on this release.
As for Shang... bullet dodged. So many of “his” images are just stolen from someone/somewhere else without any credit to source at all. No need
for BNG to have someone like that on their roster.

It just always sucks to see that story pop up and not hear our side of it. In regards to the images, it looks like hes evolving and doing new things. Wish him and his team the greatest success.

People today spend a lot of money on cheap Roy Lichtenstein and Warhol period ephemera. These are by far more interesting and I think will continue to increase in value. That being said, I would rather throw that $1000 towards another official print but for those who can’t afford a print then this is a fantastic piece of Banksy to own.

If you bought lazs upcoming book and got a Tenner in the book would you question the Provenence? Why?

Sorry I just don't buy into managers selling art from a well alive artist, an artist who's signature the piece of paper won't carry, you might as well support the holiday gift card company, pretty sure they have their own CoAs

So if you won the golden ticket and get a bomb hugger, you would give it the same value as a WCP?
