Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by lesroy on Jan 13, 2007 9:49:42 GMT 1, This just got my wondering...
What do we really think about these prints?
I know I would want one even more coz they are soo limited. I do like the images but I wonder how much the exclusivity sways my mind??
Just a thought.
Radar Rat... My fav of the two, really nice little image and true Banksy in my eyes.
CWS... Great, powerful and clever image imo. I really like this but I'll never afford one!
What do you think ?

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by jp on Jan 13, 2007 11:41:07 GMT 1, Hi Les,
I chose "not particularly interested" since I think the images are good but not great. I think the exclusivity is a big part of why people like them. CWS just isn't that powerful an image to me because so many artists before banksy have used the image of Christ to stir up emotion. It has been done to death. I'm also not a big fan of the rat prints in general (great on the street, not so great on my wall), but Radar Rat is the best of them because it is truly unique among his prints, having the hand sprayed rings. I actually think THAT makes this print really stand out from the other rats in a much bigger way than simply a low number being produced.
I do think that if banksy had done some of his other images in low numbers like these they would be going for much more today that either RR or CWS. Take flower thrower for example. To me that image IS banksy. It is on the cover of wall and piece after all, so I reckon Banksy himself is most proud of it. I do think that an edition of 75 in black and white with different colors for the flowers (like the canvas) would be worth a lot of money if he ever did them. And I'm sure GWB would be worth more than CWS or RR too if it were in an edition of just 75.
Just my opinion of course

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by foundation on Jan 13, 2007 13:13:20 GMT 1, The rats are as stated before classic Banksy stuff, the RR is the one I am missing and would very much like to have, the christ is another Banksy image but less appealing to the masses than Love is in the air, BME etc.. in a similar vein to scary Mary, alot of us still have some attachment to religion and feel its a bit naughty to like such images. Dont know if that makes it better or worse.. ?? HMMM??

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by Aza on Jan 13, 2007 18:28:49 GMT 1, I personally love CWS purely because of the image.
It was the first ever print I bought, and at the time thought £500 was an extortionate amount, even though that was a lot of money to me I just could not pass it up.
And now that it is worth so much more and I could easily do with that money, I would never sell it, for the same reason I bought it in the first place.
Best Banksy ever!

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by mido on Jan 13, 2007 22:44:18 GMT 1, not fussed about CWS, but I would like to selfishly 'own' a radar rat
1) coz I've seen it on the street and it has a resonance and history to it for me. A real banksy.
2) coz it has that special feature of the hand sprayed rings. the closest many of us will get to a canvas :-)

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by foundation on Jan 14, 2007 23:17:23 GMT 1, Got a reply asking about it, they say its number34, and can prove it, saying not alot without plenty of pics etc.., I could say I am jesus and i can prove it, but it wouldn't make it any closer to the truth without proof, and just for the record, I am in no way Jesus or in any way connected to the jesus franchise.
I'd be VERY wary of that CWS without alot more going for it.

I think if you bought it you'd have no come back.

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by lesroy on Jan 15, 2007 17:51:38 GMT 1, im not so sure.
I wouldn't pay for it till I collected it anyway, but alot of people post on eBay assuming that everyone knows the score about the prints anyway. For instance we all know when and where it was printed, and how many in the edition, incl where it was signed and what it was signed in (pen/pencil etc).
I think it's strange for the first sale / purchase to be a £7k print.
Saying all that... caution is always advised and I would certianly pay on collection if I was happy, rather than using Paypal (but then I live near Essex).
PS... I have bidded it up to £2999 and Im still not the highest bidder

It would of of been 10 out of 10 but you didn't say you were willing to pay 'up to £7000' ;D

Banksy Christ With Shopping Bags, by finsburyparkranger on Jun 11, 2007 18:16:03 GMT 1, Really don't see it going close to 20k. Radar rat only made 11.1k recently. I think the market feels that the cheaper prints are actually better investments at the moment. A sportsmans bet says that it will go for closer to 14k than 20k. On?
