Dominic Guerrini had one for 17k a few years ago but I passed as it seemed way overpriced at the time 🤢

When these first came out, you had to pay double to get the signed version. I used to have two signed prints of LIITA. One I framed and the other kept flat. The framed one I sold around 11 years ago, around the same time I sold my signed GWRB |

It’s not a signed one. Singed is super rare.

Indeed - this is the first time I’ve seen the actual editing size including APs “officially” confirmed.

...and smaller edition sizes Indeed - this is the first time I’ve seen the actual editing size including APs “officially” confirmed. I wouldn't go that far. I checked with Christies if 50 was actually right. They weren't sure.... They were going to check with PC and get back to me. I haven't heard anything else. So, I'd still keep it in the 50-100 range - which is still less than GWB. And 1/3 of the APs also. |

Love is in the Air SIGNED at Christies on 3rd Dec, by therivler1 on Dec 2, 2020 15:02:29 GMT 1, exactly. Christies says 50 signed, which would be new information. But, that hasn't been confirmed by them/PC, so shouldn't be taken as gospel.

I thought it was a regular edition of 500 of which 100 were signed and 400 unsigned. And in addition there was an A/P edition of 27 all signed.

Major auction houses like Christie’s do speak to PC directly about this stuff. If they haven’t done due diligence on published information that affects value, they can create problems for themselves.

And in addition there was an A/P edition of 27 all signed.
I asked them and this is what they said:
"You’re right to point this out – I have spoken to our Banksy print expert who said it varies how many works were ultimately signed – some editions it is 100, some editions fewer. We have inquired with Pest Control however and are awaiting their instruction and further information."

Love is in the Air SIGNED at Christies on 3rd Dec, by Hanging Around on Dec 2, 2020 21:11:10 GMT 1, The edition was 500, comprising of 400 unsigned and 100 signed. However, back in the day it was all a bit more haphazard and they didn't fulfil the full signed quota. I've seen signed prints in the 400s so I'd imagine that they were signed as needed.

Yup I’ve seen higher number signed ones too.

This is exactly as I understand it, that the quota of signed was never fulfilled in these early days, hence the confusion over the final balance between signed and unsigned. |
