BBC Radio Bristol have been down to the museum and filmed this about the sales of the print going mad online (all thanks to this forum thread!)

Someone on eBay states these are limited to 1000. Not sure if that is true? I’ve not seen that info anywhere else.

The BBC Bristol video above says they've had over 1000 orders, so not true based on that.

Can't believe it's got this big Carl Cashman 😂 - all because I was bored on Tuesday evening and ended up on the Bristol Museum Shop - hopefully they will release more and make it one per person - it is an open print after all

[jellya]

I've heard they've paused orders due to demand and to allow the printers to print more stock

Run size is currently at 4600. Pretty low IMHO

Its a shame its nothing like the photo per the website. White only background looks great.

But at £5 I'm not going to worry too much about it.

Im presuming its not the same poster

Definitely not the same one.  just saw the picture of it on the news clip, with a nice plain white background.

they have not anymore postcards or wishes cards ? How can we know if we have the first one more grey or the second blank one ?

[Pjam]

Yup, the image is on white paper. No crappy shadow as previously shown

So...does this now make the 'crappy shadow' version a closed run and therefore rarer and more desirable?

Some poor bugger in Bristol is going to be rolling up Banksy posters and shoving them in tubes for months to come... Stay strong my friend!

For the amount they're charging on shipping for a print this size, I would imagine flat. Hopefully. Plus the pictures show them laid out flat in a nice plastic slip cover.

Don’t understand the obsession with posting flat. Especially on a £5 poster. I’ll give you a clue it’s not going to arrive in a wooden crate. And if it’s damaged I’m sure they’ll just print off another. A print/poster sent flat in an envelope is far worse than a tube.

They should at the very least sandwich the poster in between 2 sheets of 18mm MDF after putting acid free tissue on the top and bottom to protect it couldn't they?

Really, i mean i have spent just under £5.00 for postage and packaging, I hope it's tracked as well.

Finally, and I do not think I am taking the piss, I would also like to see my name on some kind of fancy brass plaque displayed in the Museum for my purchase.

According to the description, it’s a “Banksy print...” So considering it’s from the only place that has had a Banksy museum show, it’s fair to assume these aren’t just randomly produced by museum staff creating unofficial stuff on a whim. But rather Banksy has given approval.

Would he have to if the piece is part of the museum’s collection?

Yes, Banksy will have had to give his approval. [Or Pest Control, if Banksy assigned his rights to the company.]

As referred to here by Dive Jedi, ownership of an artwork is distinct from ownership of the copyright to the artwork.

_________

In this case, there is also two separate copyrights involved:

(i) that of the artist who created the sculpture; and

(ii) that of the photographer who took the photo of the sculpture.


The museum will have secured permission from both in order to reproduce and sell the image.

£5 poster or not I’d still prefer it flat especially as it could fit in an envelope. Think that’s quite straightforward enough.

[deltaboy]

If we look at the example of one of the posters on this thread, his was flat in a plastic over, it'll come like that...

Unless you're very lucky, or it's a very thick envelope, it will get the corners smashed.
Lots of galleries have tried this over the years and failed.

Except, that would be an unofficial item, and in my mind less desirable... Open Edition or not.
