Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print

[corblimeylimey]

In fact I did some research for a PM a couple of days ago.

There was a signed Jack & Jill on ebay the seller wanted £6000 BIN, it didn't sell for that price but is probably worth around £5000, the last one to sell (Apr 11) went for £2500 and according this thread about the value of signed J&J in Apr

banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?board=ebaychat&action=display&thread=1176224413

ogrgel had posted the previous sales being
2750
2250
3100

so if the signed can double in less than three months there's got to be some movement on unsigned, perhaps it would be resonable to expect them to more than double as the prices are relatively low and still 'affordable'

[spartacus]

Shit then. Will have to try the scrum down on next release i suppose.
Seems then the Banksy print market is becomming like the housing market but worse!

[corblimeylimey]

Much worse than the housing market, you can't live in a Banksy print ;D ;D

[jonpud]

At least you don't have to clean the windows!

[corblimeylimey]

just the frames ;D

You're probably right, I'd say £800ish

just sold one at £750ish and regretted it and bought another for approx £700. I'm keeping it and framing it like aza framed his christ with shopping bags. Should look good.

I'm guessing you won't find one now for under £800.

The one that was framed in Andipa was the nuts and made me realise what a fantastic print it actually is. It is very underated but I feel that may change soon.

Bet you feel lucky johnas, you were probably one of the very last to buy at the 'old' price of around £500 and only around a month ago too!

[Strange Al]

I think the tide is already turning and people are starting to realise what a classic image Toxic Mary actually is.

It's a dark piece and I have to admit that it's taken me a while to truly warm to it, but it's now one of my absolute favourite Banksy images.

In terms of price, in the current market I'd be surprised if you can get any unsigned Banksy for under £800. Though good luck!

[medicjones]

£888 BIN 3 days ago. £1638 at bloomsbury auction also last week.

[chrisps303]

Its my favourite print and im glad i bought one a few weeks ago or i would have no chance of getting one. Just got to get the money together to frame it.
If you do manage to get one you wont regret it as it is even better in the flesh.

[spartacus]

Jesus H. Has anyone got a link to the £888.

[Curley]

Im still looking for a gothic frame to match but its a classic.

like everyone else on here it seems, it's going in a swept frame and will be hung next to my Hand stencilled Turin Scam.... Can't wait to see my Catholic Gran's face when she comes round for tea & cakes ;D ;D

While you're at it you should invite the village vicar ;D

[johnas]

strangely enough, he has his own 'version' of the Turin Shroud hanging in our village church!

During the Second World War, the village was hit by severe bombing which uncovered this painted panel in one of the local houses. It is a medieval painting and has since been carbon dated to about the year 1280 A.D. It is apparently the face of Christ.

medieval art.... rock on \m/(-_-)\m/

[corblimeylimey]

I wonder how much that'll fetch on ebay ;D

Is it signed & stamped?

[Cocteau 101]

I got one a couple of weeks ago for £600, looking like a bargain now.

[ratboy]

lovely picture. should have been placed flat to make paint dry and not drip

[snakes]

Would like to give a 'Toxic Mary' a good home.
Please PM me with any offers.
As regards to part x's, all i have going spare is a Dolk, Che and several paintball guns!
Many thanks.

[ABC]

Paintball guns, now theres an idea for original art.

[snakes]

Very good for multi coloured 'drive by's'!

Paintball guns are the work of the devil. I've still got the bruises from some paintball 'artwork' last Saturday

[pezlow]

Lol - bl**dy stag dos. Paintballs and go karting.
