Crisis As Usual poster doesn't look very "Banksy" ! I'm doubtful about that one.

Though it is in the video here, 1:15 in...

Great video!… In the second window of the shop…there are the corrugated metal curtains!…Fantastic art show in Croydon (2019)!

Nice! Those clocks are pretty cool. How'd you hang yours?

Congrats! Curios as to what the thought process and logic were behind issuing COAs for the clocks, but not for the pillows.

How long did you wait?

so what are winners of the throw pillow covers planning on doing with them?

There were so many folks hating on Welcome Mats being framed so their heads will likely explode if the covers are used for anything other than fancying up a couch.

You mean they don't come pre filled? They are like a pillowcase without a pillow?

What a fucking liberty!

I actually think they pillow cases are kind of cool but instead of framing them, I would try to get in touch with this guy about a trade for an Agile print. He's got at least three couches in this room alone!

Congratulations!

First time I have seen that picture.

shocking

look at his ironing board placement

[gus]

I'd just like to clarify that there are actually four sofas in that room.

Ah that makes a lot more sense! Each couch won a Ukraine print.

I am thinking that maybe they iron people's couches for a living. Drop-off only, no on-site ironing.

I also have the sofa and the iron. But no money... no Banksy Ukraine press.

I can iron anything but I've never ironed banknotes. )

How did he get so many prints? With the Gross Domestic Product... have some taken more pieces?

To make the team a little bit wondering, I submitted an order for one of the GDP products.
It was order #317.541. So now we know that there were almost 318k people who participated in this lottery.

I am curious, if I get some kind of email from the team. :D

Sounds like a good use of your time...

As someone who appears to be on this forum all hours of the day, every single day, posting absolutely nothing of value… perhaps you’re not well placed to comment on how others choose to spend their time.

Well, I learned a little bit about the webshop.
And new learnings are never a waste of time, I guess. 
Also we now know the number of total applications to calculate the number of participants in those Banksy lotteries. From my side, it were well spent 30 minutes. ;)

[Crime in the City]

My comment was meant in a light hearted way, thanks for having a cool attitude about it. New info is always valuable!

[radnatic]

Anybody still waiting for their COA of a GDP item?

[lukas01]

October 1st, it will be exactly 4 years since the launch of GDP Banksy.
Where to see the light also Bbay, but the candle was gone before anyone even lit it.
The disappointment of a lot of street art right now is palpable. Banksy has contributed quite a bit to the ephemeral data wave.

American Graffiti artists are producing exceptional works. Those who are used to the streets or were born in the Bronx always think that the least fortunate should not be left alone.

I believe that Graffiti Art will take a very important revenge in the art world. And I believe it will be celebrated in museums around the world.

Idiot bourgeois merchants and gallery owners! 😎

Thats rad as fck, basically an artwork in itself, wish I could get a PC certificate like this for my Welcome Mat. But to be honest Im not a lucky person often an was Stoked when I got the email for Love Welcomes. Congrats on your acquisition.

[Bill Loves Art]

Still wandering why I didn’t get a response from PC about the application I put in for the cushions. Might have to send it again. I think I applied last year. Absolutely useless system.

[lukas01]

4 years since the birth of GDP and it is an eternal disappointment.

Have any of these come up for sale before? Seems like a hefty estimate (but it's a small edition).

[Londown 01]

I think that many of the smaller editions/ smaller edition sculptures have never come up in auction or for sale (Goldfish, Rug, Early Learning Set...).

And I agree that that is a pretty sum to pay, but then (as you say) it is a small edition, therefore pretty much never comes up for sale. Also it is quite clever and especially elaborate (they say 5 parts): basically a sculpture with a "painting", and signed

Gotta say I do love this one
interesting to see what it goes for as the canvas itself is basic and small but the work is unusual and edition small
would rather have one of these than a tiny stencil ed canvas as its more of an installation but each to his own

[ubl]

I do love this one as well, and I agree it's probably a stunning piece to display but it's not an archetypal Banksy. Be interesting to see what it goes for...
