Capital Gains on this one is gonna bite like a mofo. Not sure how you hide a cool 250k popping up in your account.

It's a seriously cool piece btw.

Trade to gallery for 275k credit on art, choose lifetime piece, hang on wall.

Don't sell it (unless you are desperate for money)....
wait those will be cheap offers in 1 or 2 years!

Everyone thought financial rises in the market would be continuous, look at the last two years
Pandemic is not over, all economies are artificially propped up
The financial crash of 2008 was said at the time 5 years to recover, the world was still recovering before the pandemic from the 2008 crash
For an offer of 300k from a purchase of 48k in two years for a living artist that the market does not know the true identity to turn this down is just greed. The market could well crash as well as rise or settle at lower levels

It’s an amazing and under appreciated piece in my opinion, a real talking point. People generally seem to forget the value of the hand sprayed box which in itself is exceptional.
It would be great to see one at auction but as it stands the value is in the £300-£400k in my humble opinion

[Georgie Poppit]

Sell it before they get rid of capital gains tax. Enjoy half the money and reinvest the rest into new art. It will only ever be regarded as an edition regardless of it's hand done bits. Big future money will be in his unique works.

disagree with this. It’s a future classic in my opinion. Very few banksy sculptures out there and this one is a belter…along with the hand sprayed box. If I owned it and could afford it I’d display it at home and enjoy it for many years. I don’t see this going anywhere but higher in value. Beautiful piece.

[mrizzle]

I see that Hang Up now have one for sale for £330k. 

[bgdp]

Did they sell this as can’t find it on their site?

Definitely gone from online, presumably sold or stored for now.

[artlike]

I would be all over this if I hadn't just made another enormous purchase. Just love it. Not sure what they're going for these days though. 

[mission]

Bad Meaning Good canvas sold … just grappling hook left .
Some strong interest .. it’s a bargain

[reeder77]

if anyone has Grappling Hook avail, I am a buyer.Mission and I are off on price and estimated current value, else I would have purchased his.

DM me.

[blurp]

Price is current value, no ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?
So you don't like his price!

Correct. We aren't far off. And I honestly absolutely love the piece. But I'm a collector and not a flipper. So the price matters to me. It's not about short term spread. It's about long term sustainable value. And the Banksy market, like it or not, has come way down.  This was 40k on release and the market for it isn't exactly huge when half the population finds is sacrilegious.

Amazing piece. GLWS.

[Rufin the Jungle]

Dream piece for me ❤️

Stunning piece, GLWS

My fave Banksy

[Gunny]

Thanks for all your messages. Genuinely surprised the amount of love for this piece these days. If I havn’t got back to you yet, I will do. I have a couple of very good offers in. Thanks

[Rufin the Jungle]

Whoever buys this is a very lucky person ⭐️

[Londown 01]

You shouldn't regret that decision I'm sure. I think that editioned sculptures by Banksy should be in high demand in the years to come because they are

a) very few
b) very small editions
c) strong in motive
d) strong in aesthetics
e) (continue list as you please)

Yes agreed - i mean, how many actual sculptures are there out there? The bronze rat, the Police Helmet I guess you could call a sculpture, Watchtower, other bits from GDP........... can't think of much more editioned sculptures. The Hook is only 26 and i heard there weren't even 26 made, which probably makes sense as you don't come across them often.

Have you got it displayed or in storage? Would love to see photos of it in situ or how you display it. A lovely piece to own. 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[Carl Cashman Art]

This is a museum grade Artwork, 100% a sculpture. Good luck with the sale 👍

Sorry this hadn’t loaded when I posted. I can see it now. Thank you.

[Criminal Mischief]

That is so funny, displaying it in a Cathedral. Awesome to see you not only having it on view, but sharing it with the public as well.
