Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Spider Joe on May 13, 2022 10:25:34 GMT 1,
Additional information about the artwork:
The print was given (not sold) to my friend, and from memory this was just after the print release sold out. It came via a relationship with someone directly connected to POW and was described at the time as an โoffโ print.
Print dimensions: 65.2 x 49.9mm
Condition โ there are three noticeable condition issues: 1. Darkening of the paper to the bottom LH 3rd. At some point the frame was damaged and the glass broke whilst being stored. The area that has discoloured is in the location of the broken piece of glass. 2. There are 3 noticeable marks that run vertically down the RH side to the right of the balloon. They appear to be at regular intervals and could possibly be why this print never made the grade? They are more noticeable on the rear. 3. The print is slightly wavey. I would guess this was due to the previous framing and humidity, although happy to be corrected.
There you go

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by hupster on May 13, 2022 11:05:37 GMT 1, Just curious, are test prints usually just one of a kind ? Trying to understand the terminology thanks ! Test prints are normally the same as the main edition but there are some test prints that were done then changed for the main addition. There is an A1 version of VLH which is different to the main edition which was released as it didn't get the go ahead to print until the changes were made. I know of 2 of these which managed to get out before the batch got destroyed. There may be more..... Nola also had test prints done with different colourways until they settled for 2 main editions and then the super limited colourways sold to private collectors i think if i remember correctly. Different colour rains like neon yellow and orange, multicoloured rain ( raffle prize ) and some other colours which i have forgotten now....
Hope this helps

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Daniel Silk on Jun 29, 2022 12:47:48 GMT 1, Very reluctantly, I have decided to part with my Backdoor Strawberry Doughnuts. Weโre all aware how this splits opinions on here so if youโre interested and want to see pics please message me, if not please donโt turn this thread into a childish argument. Great provenance and bought from another member on here who was an absolute gentleman. cheers, John
"Backdoor" I didn't realize doughnuts had any backdoor prints? Hadn't POW sorted that problem long before that release?

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by Daniel Silk on Nov 18, 2022 13:19:42 GMT 1, I wonder why an artist like Banksy doesn't set up their own inhouse printing? Do artists like Hirst print their own Print Editions? Or do they get them done by someone else?
Do you think most of these "Backdoor" prints were leaked from the Printer or POW?
Have any other artists had issues with unauthorized prints leaking out? Or is it just a Banksy issue?
