Ben Eine one off vinyl pieces - any ideas of value?

[alibear]

Hiya - I bought these 2 Ben Eine pieces at The Nelly Duff show before it moved into its permanent shop. They are both signed.

They are vinyl pieces that were to be cut up into stickers but were not - I have a few more colours also.

I think they are unique pieces - any ideas of value or who I might ask?

[Daniel Silk]

Very nice, but I’m guessing they are not signed?

I think if they were signed you might be looking at as much as £1,000 each, but unsigned I think the value would be somewhere between £400-500 each.

Still really nice piece for a serious Eine collector.

Hiya - thanks

That makes sense to me - they look great in real life

They are all signed - I just didn't include the signature in the pictures

I will add a picture to include the signature

I expect you will get plenty of people telling you they ain’t worth much, normally they are just the ones trying to get it cheap so they can flip it for a nice profit 😉

I reckon they're worth about £50 each......maybe £55 at most because of the nice frames.😁

I think those days with Ben eine are long gone. This is 2019

Maybe let the one you think is off less value to go for bids on bay?

Very nice. I don't think Eine can really command the prices he used to command.

I'd bid.

£300-400 is more realistic, but I think you can get a-z silkscreen edition on paper for that or close to.

Maybe so, but that's limited editions, while how many of these are around?

If my POW history is correct the skull is a collab by Pins & Banksy.

Thanks for the comments all,

This is a picture of it with the signature - each one is signed.

I have the two here plus orange, grey and few more colours - the are NOT editions - they are one offs - Nelly Duff sold a red one way back that they bought from EINE.

i have this from 2006 signed by Eine 

I have also seen this image attributed to insect & banksy

Hi,

Its not 100% clear on the write up but I think the skulls on this are rightly enough a paul insect and banksy collaboration

Not sure what they are worth but they are really cool!

Printed vinyl isn't really a fine art medium, and there are no archival properties, similar to a digital printed show flyer, pretty much has the least viability as a serious collectible. However, that said, that's not to say there aren't fans of Ben Eine who would want to add this to their collection of his work. Especially if there are not many of these floating around, which is impossible to decipher, really, unless we hear from artist rep. As this is a non numbered work which could have been produced in high volumes quite easily. I do like Eine's work a lot personally and this is a cooler composition than some of his other works I see out there for sale, so I agree with the comments about putting it up for auction/eBay and see what kind of price it can draw. At least that will give you something to go off. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of people speculating who aren't necessarily even willing to offer a price themself, but they will tell you what it's worth? Haha. Cheers and hope to hear if this goes for sale, I would bid on it (for less than £350) and be interested to see what it went for. Cheers and no offense meant

These are nice. Agree the only way you'll establish value is by auction. They're not a numbered edition but also not quite originals. If they were made to be cut into stickers, they are uncut sticker sheets, so there's nothing to really compare them to.

Other large Eine alphabets go for around £300ish, but these look better than most so you might well get more with some good interest. I'd definitely bid on that green.
