Can you verify whether or not this is the same print that is being offered at a blind auction by Graffik Art which closes at midnight tomorrow? It just seems strange to me that two of these have been offered in the last six hours......

I can confirm that this is another gallery not presenting itself as such, not that I've had any dealings with them. I think £15k is high for this print but there aren't many around are there?

You interested Bob?

is it normal for a gallery to misrepresent itself in this way ? I would have serious ethical concerns about dealing with anyone who did this

i have just looked at Graffik gallery online - its rare to see such a load of old shite together in one place. truly jaw dropping crap

I've been looking for one of these for a while but the issue that rears its head every single time is that the price seems to be simply plucked out of thin air. It's hard to pay the price of two lower-end signed prints for a single unsigned print, but then again, it is the image that comes to everyone's mind when they think Banksy. I'm often quoted in excess of £18k.

Canvas versions of GWB never seem to come up - I wonder what the value would be on a single canvas or diptych ?

no kidding.  one would think it was an edition of 20 lately

[Pistol]

I very much doubt that 600 still exist.

A fun exercise is to plot unsigned, signed and original prices and the overall trends. You'll begin to see some interesting things and make a relative value call.

i'd guess 100-150k sterling in both cases.  The price of the unsigned version of this print is madness to my eyes.  Signed, while it may make me uneasy, I can understand the logic to the premium.  The unsigned price flies right over my head but I don't make the rules.  Good luck with the sale, it certainly won't hang around long.

I think you are correct Pistol. At £75 many of these were mistreated, dry mounted and damaged long ago. When so little was spent on the print most spent even less on the framing and care.

I always assume that 1/3 of the edition of any pre-2005 Banksy print is gone. And am always so curious about how each one found its end.
