Nope, you just bagged a ยฃ55 poster. Rather than a 7.5 k poster ;-) Nope, would still rather than 7.5K one if I had a choice ( is that really what nolas are going for these days? soooo many better ways to spend that type of cash than a bad image of bruce dickinson from iron maiden. Dont have 7.5K, dont have a nola and dont want a pricey poster, but given the choice out of the 3..... i know which one I'd like ) |

Couldnโt agree more, really want a real one but its never going
to happen but every day I looked at it I would remember that I canโt afford the
real one

Art Wanted, by morrow on Mar 1, 2013 1:24:59 GMT 1, I know everyone has their own thoughts about these, but I got a Nola this afternoon. I had purchased an HMV quite awhile back as well. Why? Well, I love the images and in my current situation purchasing a real one in the secondary market would not be a wise choice. Do I feel like a fraud? No, not at all. When people ask about the HMV I always explain it is not an original and that I always loved the image. I am the one with it hanging in my home so I could care less what others think anyways. I think you need to ask yourself this... if Banksy had produced editions of 50k and the images were readily available to anyone at anytime for a small fee (much smaller then market prices) would you still own or want one? Would you like the image as much as you do now? I think people get caught up too much in the 'worth' of an image rather than if they really like/enjoy the image. The rarity and price is what really drive the person to like it rather than the art itself.
So, with that said, yeah I will soon have two repros in my home and I will love them, won't pass them off as real, and just enjoy them. Should I have the ability with good conscience to buy the real some day I'm sure I will. Till then I can still enjoy them in this repro form.
For those who are all about the rarity and market value there really isn't anything to worry about as it is a very easy tell from repro and original.

If you love the image and frame it up nicely, what's the issue? None imho

Depends what you want I suppose but certainly dont blame anybody for buying them.

Whats the difference ? Neither are original in the sense that the original artist had any input in the creation of them or gains financially from them.
I get that WCP prints are pure copies but unless my lottery numbers come up or some distant great-aunt that collects cats dies childless and leaves me her fortune, Im unlikely to ever be able to afford a signed Banksy.
Atleast these have had some human artistic input in their making.

I'm sure banksy gets a cut of the post cards and posters sold at pow.
To me these prints are no better than a fake Rolex or Gucci bag. Why not support another up and coming artist or buy something else that you like instead.
