I've decided to sell my framed Banksy Soup Can -

Basics:
Unsigned edition of 250
Framed by MFM: Museum Glass, white box frame.
Full Pest Control Certificate, registered in my name.
Excellent condition.



More Detail:
A change of focus and something I'd like to buy on the horizon, so I'm looking to sell my unsugned Soup Can.  Its a small edition of 250 (one of the smallest unsigned editions, and certainly the smallest for the price), and is the only colourway issued as unsigned.  The actual can is screenprinted white (paper is off white), which shows better in person than in the photos, and is why I chose a white box frame, as it shows this off perfectly.

It was framed by Mr Frameman with museum glass and to archival standards and looks great.  It has been hung out of the light (I live in a basement flat).

Price:
Offers over £3,000 - face to face deal in London (SE) preferred.  I dont want to post at this stage. 

I was chatting to a gallery about selling this on consignment; they thought £3500-4500, hence my price. The smallprint seemed a bit hassly though, so thought I'd try on here first - maybe cut out the middle man for someone.

PM away.

Saw Tesco lost about 8 billion on their recent earnings, heard B had a little BBQ to celebrate.

They still make money, it's a property write down. New boss blaming everything on what went before and pretty standard practice. Give it a couple of years and he'll re-value that, add it back in and share options worth a fortune

Great for sale thread tho' whilst an edition of 250 I do wonder actually how many are left in pristine condition and possibly rarer than you think? I'd absolutely love this, like Ruggs said, one day.......

I agree, and as I stated in my earlier post about the horrible condition of prints recently, all top quality B pieces, signed and unsigned, are much rarer than people think.

Very nice print don't come up for sale very often

Nice thread- this is how a Banksy piece should be sold. Iconic image- can't say it's a beautiful, meaningful masterpiece or any of that- but iconic it is.
Good luck although something tells me you won't need it.

Thanks for the compliments on the thread - I tried to make it as straight forward as possible.

I'm talking to a few people but nothing firmed up yet. I have had offers over £3000 - a bit of a range but none more than about 10% higher (this isn't to squeeze more, just to keep the openness going).

I have been asked to remove it from the frame. It is professional done so would need to go back to Gary to sort. Obviously this takes time and costs. So I wouldn't do this without a deposit and firm commitment to buy (short of there being any issues).

As in the original post - I'd prefer a face to face deal in SE13, London. If it's unframed then obviously I'd open it up worldwide.

great price and great framing....but it should take you no more than 10mins to get it out of the frame, score the tape open, remove the pins and bobs your uncle.

[maxf]

You say that - but the pins look like massive staples. Also as it's float mounted it won't just come out of the frame. I don't want to mess it up.

[avec art]

The pins should come out with a bit a wiggling, like a wobbly tooth. But you're probably right about the float mounting, better to leave it to professionals.

[maxf]

Done it, thanks - got it out all ok, but haven't taken the hinges off and am not going to try!

No surprises I'm thankful to say.

[maxf]

Still for sale. I've got 21mb worth of huge photos for anybody interested.

Please don't get in touch if you're not serious.

[maxf]

Sold at asking price.

Thanks.
