Didn't this sell on ebay just the other day?

[shy]

Problem with this print is that there is no Pest Control COA
and unfortunately there are a lot of forgeries and fake prints floating around.

[shy]

my above comment is just a generalization. I have no knowledge about this particular lady's print.

Let me start by expressing my gratitude to the members of this forum.

I am neither an expert nor a collector, but keen on Bansky’s message & graphics. I thought that a small memento from Dismaland would have been nice to look at in the morning, to make one think.


I bought a “Dismaland sterling” from an art gallery on Artsy, with two COAs (their own certificate plus one that came with the original purchase apparently – you can see them online). There was also proof of provenance that seemed legit (traced to an individual in the UK). Looked like a bone fide souvenir from Dismaland. The narrative was that Dismaland currency had sold out in one hour at the store, hence the rarity.


Then I found your forum.
In doubt, I wrote to Pest Control.


Even if this is a trivial matter for them, PCO was incredibly prompt, definitive, and overly informative.

It saved me almost $2000, which I got refunded.


To help any other uninformed buyers like me, I am posting here the original correspondence (with the express authorization from PCO):



<<Hi ****,

I’m afraid, the only currency Banksy ever produced were the Di-Faced Tenners, even these are not eligible for certificates of authentication as we don’t deem them to be commercial Banksy works of art. There are also many fakes in circulation.


The Dismaland currency you emailed us is entirely fake and has been created by someone who is not Banksy.


There were no ‘Dismaland’ canvases or currencies produced for sale at Dismaland.


The only certificates of authenticity that should be trusted are Pest Control Certificates of Authenticity, we urge people never to purchase works without this accompanying documentation; as the work is very likely to be fake.


Best,

PCO>>



There is a whole class of this kind of fakes going for $$$$. On websites like artsy.net (https://www.artsy.net/artwork/banksy-kissing-policemen $3500 for this one)


Other galleries that sell the product include these:

or recent auctions:

Good man for sharing


too many scammers about

They must get a buzz out of creating other peoples misfortunes


what a horrible way to want to live


what do you do for a living, well by day i work in an office processing orders and stuff


Hobbies? well yeah, i scam people, its a very interesting hobby and provides a nice income. 

[shy]

Fasteddie thanks for posting. Your post and info is very, very important.

It's like the auction houses that sell art "in the manner of..."

or the questionable memorabilia companies that provide certificates for signed merchandise and fake autographs using COAs from their "owned" or affiliated companies ----

sad but true!

In fact, many many Beatles autographs out there are forged! and people pay big bucks to scammers

Nice one for sharing, but you could have asked here and people would have told you they were fake!

Actually maybe they wouldn’t have... probably on this board

They did say it. It is in one parallel thread. I wanted to share the additional information and the Pest Control message, which should clarify for good.

Markets function only if reliable information is available to buyers and sellers.

[shy]

Thanks again fasteddie, your info is appreciated! There's no harm in reiterating things and surely some people are finding out this info for the 1st time thanks to you!

[smokie]

There is a fantastic book called 'Are We There Yet' chronicling most of the Dismaland art and displays. It is available through Banksy's website for a very reasonable price.

[caruso]

Thank you for sharing, priceless information.

[shy]

It's really great when members try to help each other!

That's the big bonus and major plus of this forum!

Book is endorsed by banksy. If you go to the dismaland post and scroll to end of pictures, there is a link to the book.
