Hahaha!! That's great!!! How long did that take you? ;D ;D ;D

[InactiveX]

About 30 minutes from conception to posting.

Glad you like it!

[saffa]

Does anyone have a contact a POW that would be able to tell us how many Banksy litho Soup Can prints have been done to date.

just interested really, no real reason.

[Curley]

Hi Saffa,

Their number and e mail address is on their website, why not have a look ?

[saffa]

Have emailed. MAN they going to think I'm weird and don't have a life!

[aimless]

wont reply for a week

my guess is 250

[corblimeylimey]

I'd guess at over 1000, it's uneconomic to print offset litho in quantities of less than 500 and the price difference between 1000 and 2000 would be nowhere near double.

[irf2112]

id guess around 2500 -

[corblimeylimey]

Any advance on 2500?........going........going.......




you there, at the back, did I hear 2750?

[irf2112]

2800...

When you do find out you could do the maths and work out how many soup cans have been reproduced by Banksy, i.e. 250 of the blue, 24x 10 of the individual colourways, the Lazarides editions, the museum prank soup can canvas, other canvas soup cans plus each litho x each can on each litho!!
Essential knowledge for the first Mastermind contestant to choose Banksy as thier specialist subject!!

[aimless]

furthermore can you please advise how many actual cans have been printed, I sure there are at least 20 on the poster to begin with.

would be very interested.

different sizes, colours etc would be better.

thanks

[aimless]

ohhh, didnt read previous message properly.

You already asked for that, thourght we could get a bit more milage out of this one but obviously not.

ignore previous post

[saffa]

got an email back from Steph at POW.

..and the answer is...

22.

I thought it would have been more. Or Steph was taking the P*SS. I probably deserve it for asking such a weird question though. LOL

[notitle]

almost 100% sure that that has to be bollocks. i don't really care either way, but between us here we could account for far more than 22.

i have bought one. everyone else?

(they're also on sale around the country in various POW affiliations, and of course SG. not to mention at least 22 chancers on ebay charging £100 bin)

[pastiepie]

I'd imagine it would be around the 10,000 mark easy. I can account for 2.

[Octopus UK]

These appear to be doing well.

Original cost was £9.99. When did they vanish from POW?

The best (financially) "appreciating" Banksy image?

[Gurn]

I might be completely wrong on this but I think that ebay recently started automatically showing all art listings on .com as well as co.uk and this has coincided with the upturn in prices...just a theory...IMO they will be back on POW when it reopens

[otomi]

His early canveses were 400 now 50000 or more - that is 12500%.
I have also seen the posters for more than 150pounds.
How many of these did they make?

I would like to see a different image as a poster. There could be more than 1 banksy for 9.99.

[craigf]

It was an unlimited release so only POW know for certain

[Octopus UK]

I bought one about a year ago, but they were on the site recently. 400% in 2 months?

If they get too expensive, someone could produce counterfeit copies I guess, and there is no way to distinguish the two.

[buddings]

funny if it was actually a run of only 500 and they just wanted to see if people only bought banksy prints because of value over image

[bert]

Hope they do come up on POW again, I always meant to get one and kept putting it off.

I would not be supprised To me that seems to be what D*Face/POW did with the "Airbourne Cavalry" and "All City Raiders" prints

If that was their intention, they probably didn't choose the best image, IMO.....a poster, not signed or numbered, of say Barcode or Happy Choppers, Christ with Shopping Bag....would have flown outta POW in no time flat.....

[otomi]

Not too long ago there was a thread about the poster (can't find it now) it said something about edition of 1000 - can't find the poster in the section at the bottom where it should be

thx

[otomi]

don't we have connections here - we should be able to find out the print run as long as POW knows
