Banksy Applause Print

[Danger Mouse]

Sometime over the past couple of weeks I have seen a few pictures posted of an Applause print framed in a white wooden frame. I have been searching through the forum today trying to locate it but unable to. If anyone knows where it is or has photos could they please post them here? I am looking for ideas on framing. Thanks.

Is it mine?





It cost £209 from my local framer (in Devon of course) all to conservation standards etc.

Thats the one! Best frame job I have seen for this print. Nice, clean and minimal. Should have guessed it was yours corblimeylimey! Cheers.

[corblimeylimey]

The white frame is about 30mm deep and 30mm wide, the part infront of the glass is about 8mm deep and the mountboard is about 2.5" wide on the sides and about 3" wide top and bottom, the overall width is 133cm and height 94cm.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. Hope my framer in London can match up the mountboard to the same colour.

Lovely frame job, looks beautiful.

[corblimeylimey]

Thanks guys, the credit really belongs to the framers they pretty much told me what they thought would work well, for me I'm not sure that white frames go onto a white wall very well, nearly all my other frames are black to contrast with the light walls.

I went to tomtom gallery in Soho and they had a signed Applause, in a custom frame being sold for £4900.
Is this a good deal?

[ricosg11]

last two on ebay went for about 33-3600gbp or there about. Was within the last 2-3 weeks. Sorry I cant be more specific. One on ebay now though. Not mine.

Seems a bit steep if you ask me....unless the custom from was made out of bars of gold...

[meatbag]

def on the high side. Must be one helluva frame job.

Hi

How much is a signed Applause worth? It's my bestest favouritest of Bankser.
Hoping to get lucky on the next signed release and go for a swap on here with someone....hopefully.

Cheers.

Its worth the same as one of the other LA prints IMO, If you get a Signed Trolley Hunters then Im sure you will have little problem swapping.

or why not buy yourself one and let someone who genuinely wants the next release a chance to actually get it.
This sort of post really irritates genuine Banksy fans.

[discoduster]

You've got the wrong end of the stick, my friend. I can assure you if I get a signed print next time I would love it.
Applause is my favourite print and I would be willing to swap any print for it. I can't afford to simply pay £5k for one as you suggest which is why a swap would be my only option.
Is that so wrong??
Feel free to get busy with the Karma!

[Zippy]

but how do you know what the next signed print is going to be?
Or, do you love the thought of having any print, signed, that is immediately worth 3k?
My only problem is that the next print may be one a serious fan has been waiting for and they wont get the opportunity to buy it.
When I forst started collecting Banksy, you had months to look at hte images, pop into POW and have a look in the flesh and then make your decision.
Now, its fingers on the F5 button and a bum rush. I'm not complaining, we all new his work would get more popular but dont stop a genuine fan of a print from getting one.
Soapbox now being put back under the stairs.
Lets agree to disagree on this and let it go.

Also, why not buy an unsigned version if it is the image you love so much!

true, the unsigned applause is great value for money and is one big intimidating beast of a print. just make sure you have the wall space, get signed if you're flush but to buy a signed from POW for the sake of it is only adding to the bunfight scenario. i can see why everyone would try regardless of whether they want to keep it and the whole 'if you can't beat them, join them' mindset.
it would be a nice ideology if only the truly desiring buyers made the effort of trying to get each print but in reality it's never gonna happen.
good luck getting an applause, either one would look stunning on any wall and will make you a very happy bunny i'm sure.

its now a messy bun fight and gone are the days where you can wait. If disco stepped aside, s/he'd only be leaving room for baggers. I say join in the fray try and get a print and then try and swap. Sorta like the housing market I guess. Though sadly, I will never know what it is like to buy a house in London as I'll never get on the ladder with these prices.

Anyway, seems like ppl are doin the same strategy, try and buy a signed to trade for another. I love trollies and have done so since the images came up. I’d trade my signed morons for it in a heart-beat but wouldn’t trade any extra cash for it. Into the bun fight I go.


But, if you really jus tlike the image and dont care about a pencil squiggle, the buy an unsigned.

I'm with you, Banksy fan is a Banksy fan, doesn't have to be a Morons fan.. and respect to them for wanting an Applause. A vastly underrated print, a unique and one of a kind experiment from Mr B which I think will age really really well. Plus it's fucking massive

[discoduster]

Thanks Nu

That's it, Just want my personal favourite Banksy.

Zippy I'm with you on the good old days, yeh it used to be great having time to decide about the prints. Unfortunately, by the time his greatest (imo) came out, the swarms had started and I missed out. Didn't appreciate the cashley cow dig because at no point have i or would i ever buy a print to sell on at a profit.

Can we have a kiss and a cuddle now??
