while I was in wynwood outside of Basel House in Miami I ran into this guy
who was selling BANKSY original artwork signed not prints.
$60 dollars each!!! i brought 6 of them for Christmas gifts then the guy
who was selling them liked my hand painted shirts and traded me 2 more
pieces for 2 shirts!

cool story bro, tell us more....

[Balboa]

I suspect a few unscrupulous people have thought about selling fake originals for $60 a piece after Banksy's Central Park stunt.

Not that I'm suggesting this was one of those people.

At least it's being done out of pure entertainment..no $ to be made at $60.

Banksy doesn't need to do things twice.

chancer imo

photos of your 6 sigs ?

I'd pay $60 for the right fake Banksy canvas. no value in it but it still takes a bit of skill plus time & materials

Was there a rat in that wooden crate as well?

Fed, you can find them here in NYC next to the main museums (MoMA, Met, Guggenheim, etc.).  If you let me know what you are looking for, I can send it to you.

Very kind of you.  I'm coming down to the city this weekend actually.  I'll keep my eyes open for one.  Appreciate your offer though!

I can send you some of mine.... I'll take $50 each, that's a steep drop compare to the Anti war placard

Fakes should be fakes, but don't sign fakes with the banksy stamp/tag/stencil...

Instead of framing I find placing in a Louis Vuitton handbag works well

The thread was started by someone hoping that the Jekylls acquired might be the real deal ?? So no, your fakes only pretending to be fakes is balderdash.......

I'm so surprised that some of you who are defending this counterfeit crap mask themselves as voices of authority on all things art ??

Go Whatson go !! Go Bambi go !!

Unlikely. id say Tommy knew exactly what he had bought. 

And no they aren't sold as real, if they were they would be signed on the back and sold with COA's. 

You should check yourself before you jump up shouting rubbish too. Who here claims to be a voice of authority? Thats a label you seem to be applying.

Silly games? I just want to talk art.

You are the one making ridiculous statements. Saying an artists work is fake. Seems you are the one playing silly games.

Why don't you just show us your Bambi collection!

I've already stated I have no bambi collection!

I wouldn't say Bambi is a fake artist. I would say she's a bad artist with no real creativity, talent or original thought.

The hype around her, however, I would say is fake. Unsubstantiated reports of celebrities spending large sums of money on her art feel manufactured.

She demonstrated the actual market for her work when she knocked off Banksy's spray art stunt. For anyone who missed it, she did the same thing except she promoted it ahead of time and basically sold her art at market value on the street. Which is roughly the same as you'd pay for a couple pints and an order of fish and chips.

Sadly some of the bigger names in the game seem to have creativity, talent, original thought issues. I just don't understand why they get passes and everyone jumps over poor bambi.

If as an artist you sell art for very large sums of money without any history of genuine secondary market sales to dictate true market value and on top of that your work receives no credit from anyone on the art scene except the few greedy bastard moral less dealers who sell her work onto naive people in deceitful and manipulative ways with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow stradegy, alongside a talent level of a high school art student you will and should imo be giving a good public spit roasting without the pleasure...its a farce and shameful

[Aza]

Besides, a lot of other artists do get grief here too.
Anyway, why are you so bothered, considering you don't even own any Bambi?
