Banksy Pulp Fiction Print

[cosmic]

make ya own landscape pulp and save cash as its a total fake anyway ! and was never printed by POW

[senna]

bit of a strange statement as NONE of the Pulps were printed by POW

what do you mean fake ??

dont think Laz would put a "fake" in his collection.

[stenz1]

I brought my Pulp from POW two years ago, so I assumed they printed it..............................
as for the stretched version it looks great and I'm sure I've read somewhere on here before, the stretched versions are printers proof's?? anyone care to correct me?

and when the hell is Banksy going to bomb above the old st offy, where the previous pulp's were.............I miss them!!!!

[daniel3886]

i want to buy one come on people someone must have one behind the sofa in a tube???

Help? i'll give it a good home got a space waiting
on the wall

[cosmic]

read the e-bay forum for info on the pulp landscape ! i remember it being a fake reading through that a year or so ago might be wrong though , sorry if i am guys , i remember one on e bay selling for not a lot a few year back also

Anyone else surprised that a pulp fiction print which is creased in a couple of places (at least the seller was upfront about it), is currently at 720 pounds? Who is buying damaged prints? Im confused...no offense to those who buy them/it, but wouldn't you rather spend that kinda cash on something in better condition?

Item number 130122120520

Youd be suprised at how basic it is to restore such prints.

That's why art restorers live in big houses and the likes of me don't!

[jam]

People are getting nutty about that. There was a HAND a week or two ago that brought almost 1,000 and it had some deep creases on the corner after falling off a wall and having the frame and glass smash! There was also a HMV in similar condition that did something like 850... simply insane.

I was willing to buy both, but only because a very close friend of mine works as a conservator at the Museum of Modern Art in NY and he told me after seeing photos that he could probably straighten them out enough to where they would look OK in the frame. I was looking at paying half what the final bids were because then I would have to pay for the restoration and in the end... its still an imperfect print. I would have been cool with the idea because I just wanted to have the image, but not for anywhere near those prices! You are correct... why not spend the few extra hundred and have a perfect one!

[Run Pig Run]

wasn't that the same creased pulp fiction that sold a couple of months ago for well over a grand?

[craigf]

Yes, I asked the seller and she said it wasn't paid for. She probably should have mentioned that in the listing. I like this print, currently at £720 as the high bidder has withdrawn their bid (brand new ebayer.....)

[a4mnt]

it won't stay at that price

[jam]

£1,081 for a creased version from a 7 feedback seller on a re-list... or £1,150 for a perfect one with full provenance like Nu just sold.

[a4mnt]

just shows that damages aren't putting people off.

anybody want to sell me a pulp fiction for £1150? cash waiting.....

Just wondering with the chat today whether or not damage to prints makes that much difference?

Hi Frankie....be interesting to know what you think being that you own a gallery etc....

;D

i find that most people want things perfect and I must admit that any framed prints I have kept for myself are perfect too. Nothing worse than natural sunlight highlighting a big crease on your friendly fire! But, unless the fibres in the paper are torn maybe the buyer is going to get it restored and flip it back on the bay as perfect condition, or maybe he/she will frame it and enjoy it. Def a good one to keep.

[gordy]

not so sure about buying creased prints either?

Does it cost alot to get them sorted etc..... could be a way of getting some of the older prints then getting them restored etc....

Is it a specialist process or is it possible to get the old morphy richards iron to them!!!! ;D

that could be fun

I've never actually had anything restored although I recently got a Micallef JD framed for myself and they ruined it! They creased it, float mounted it and thought I'd never notice. looks bad! They are currently getting it restored so I'll ask how much.

[gordy]

Cheers for the info etc....I'd be interested to know how much when you get the bill etc....

welcome back

cheers

ps. Anchorman has obviously been drinking the aftershave again!!!! ;D

[a4mnt]

Is my screen glitching or is Bombhugger just loving repeating my posts!!

[thetongue]

I've seen there's a signed Pulp on eBay and my question is this; in the days before POW stamps how do you go about authenticating prints (especially signed) without a receipt or anything?
I'm interested but don't want to get stung!!
Also a lack of clear photos here so hard to see.

Any replies much appreciated! ;D

[thetongue]

Anyone?

[senna]

either you have the name of the original purchaser or if it didnt come directly from POW, & it was sold from a ghetto or green leaf bookshop etc, POW have a record of which print numbers were allocated to where.

you could call & ask where number ** was originally sold from & if that corresponds with what the seller is saying.

not the best provenance in the world & i doubt a gallery or auction house would accept that but atleast it would make you feel a little more secure. other than putting the print in POW's face & saying "is this one of yours or not", i cant think of anything else.

hope this helps

[senna]

3600 for the signed !

[thetongue]

Cheers for that Senna!

Wasn't willing to part with that much as didn't have a receipt or anything. Said bought as a gift, but on description said never been out tube so couldn't be bothered with all that.

I would buy for the image and sig because I want it but you have to cover yourself in case need to sell in future.

[senna]

absolutely

hey just noticed this on the bay...

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260151611204&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=016

looks incredibly similar to this blast from the past...

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330123660900&rd=1&r d=1

any thoughts ... nothing about authenication

I sent an email earlier to the seller on this asking about provenance, this is the reply back:

"I purchased this item from a women who worked on the set of
Pulp Fiction - I was informed by the seller that 4 signed prints
were given to Samuel , Uma , John & Quentin compliments of
Banksy . 1 of these signed prints was sold on ebay during the
week of 7/05/07 - 7/012/07 for over 10,000 lbs. / $20,000. I
understand and respect why you are asking the question about
the provenance. To my knowledge all signed one offs are not
stamped by POW , LAZ Inc. or Santas Ghetto. I recently started
a small organic clothing company and the sale of this item will
help with the mounting start up costs. The piece is authentic
and I put my 100% E-Bay rating on the line. Thank you and feel
free to ask any further questions - thanks , Jon"

[stuey09]

Was there a p.s. telling you that the Toothfairy is real?

[foreman]

i just find it humorous that on the top of the listing it says

"Banksy Signed And Stamped Original Pulp Fiction Print"

then later is says oh yeah this one was NOT stamped
