Way too high einstein, probably worth about £10 so let's average it out and say its worth £25k.  Did I say I am looking for one

I covet that piece!....lovely!

Many thanks for all pm's people...general opinion seems to be that I would be mad to sell it, so am going to be selling off a few of my less valuable bits to get the cash together....please see Ghostboy thread if you are interested in a giant Hoochgirl painted on a door!!!!

I know someone who used to own a chrome Paranoid Pictures, they sold it a long time ago for less than a signed print goes for now!

I think it was for £1,800 or thereabouts...

Hi,

I wanted to get some thoughts on these two canvas editions.

Any idea on what i could expect to pay for either in a private sale and or gallery?

What other Banksy canvases are out there on the lower end of the scale, excluding Lenin on skates?

PS I do not have either PP or HW but if you have any leads please PM.!

Many thanks

Paranoid pictures sold at auction about a month ago for £75k and about two weeks ago a Heavy Weaponry sold for £50k. I think Andipa has a HW for £65k plus VAT. Lazarides had a Precision Bombing edition of 10 for a round £85k.
These canvases seem to be rising fast, wasn't so many years ago that you these went unsold at auctions for around £25k.
I suppose when you look at the price of a Nola A/P, Kate or any signed print, its to be expected. Just not enough canvases to go around. Plus we know the artist actually had his hands on these.

I know of an color bars heavy weaponry (2) on MDF for sale that is priced around 175.000 GBP (Gallery price)

Is that the one Brandler Galleries has?

[urbanflik]

Wow £75k for Paranoid Pictures..! I was hoping £35k would be around the mark, but haven't kept up with auction prices..I remember seeing one too for £25k which seemed not so long ago. The market is really moving.

Thanks for the info....

Yes, but not sure if it still priced around the 175k though...

Plenty. Good luck.

Urban:

There is an edition 25 heavy weaponry coming to Bonhams in July with a 30-40k sterling estimate. I would expect it to exceed the high estimate and it would also be subject to artist resale rights of 4%. The Heavy Weaponary edition 10 might be a better value buy. As someone mentioned, one recently sold for 50k at auction but those are still readily available on secondary though I have no idea of pricing.

Paranoid pics at 75k sterling is unbelievable to me but I don't make the rules. Good luck in your search

[urbanflik]

Thanks Wiz & Lee & all

I fear my tastes outweigh my wallet at these prices.
I have around £35k budget (which I thought was enough about 30 mins ago)...ill hit Sotheby's, but I have a suspicion that all works will go off the richter if they get the right buzz, any canvas bits for sure.

Maybe heavy weaponry @bonhams but we will have to see I suppose.

Maybe another market crash is needed! Banksy work is like house prices right now.

Hope your lucky matey, really do.

I'd sooner boil my head in leper's puss, then wipe my arse with a broken bottle dipped in salt than deal with Brandler Galleries. Each to his own though.

Seriously though, tell us how you really feel 

[mouser]

There were quite a few folk looking for editioned canvases at the end of last year, the consensus seemed to be about 45-50k for a starting price, how many folk got sorted ( or had cash in the first place) i dont know, but certainly a sellers market for any of the editioned canvases. Good luck with the hunt, its a tough quest, but well worth it.

Stepping back though, it's an astonishing amount of money, or am I just disconnected with reality?

Indeed astonishing relative to any of life's necessities as well as many luxuries.  On the other hand, positively dirt cheap relative to something like this:



If I'm the beholder, either one of the editioned would emit more artistic power to my eyes and for a tiny fraction of bubbles the so called blue chip treasure.  I can't even look at that without laughing though perhaps that is indeed the point.  Apologies to my mother as I was taught not to say anything if I have nothing nice to say.

Nope, its astonishing enough VL.

Sounds like a cracking piece
