Banksy Grappling Hook Crucifix, by champ101 on Jan 20, 2021 20:56:58 GMT 1, Hi,
I am interested in purchasing a grappling hook by Banksy from his GDP show and Palestine hotel.
I understand they are quite rare and not everyone’s cup of tea but please let me know if you are interested in selling.
based in the UK.
Thank you, J

I understand it’s marmite. I hate marmite. But I like grappling hooks.
Please reach out if you know where I might find one.

Banksy Grappling Hook Crucifix, by Deleted on Jan 21, 2021 2:41:42 GMT 1, I've always found "edgy" art involving Christianity/Jesus to be incredibly weak. I am all for freedom of expression and artists should be able to produce and sell what they want. It's just interesting that no-one touches Judaism or the major prophets within Islam.
I am surprised all the supposed "left wingers" on the forum don't make a bigger deal about the way Jesus has been used in this piece. We all know people would be screaming islamophobia / Anti-Semitism if Banksy tried it on with other prophets / symbols.
Good luck with your purchase if you are able to find one.

Banksy Grappling Hook Crucifix, by Lazarus II on Jan 21, 2021 14:16:28 GMT 1, On Banksy's second Instagram account (@banksygrossdomesticproduct) the Grappling Hook is there with the hand stencilled box. Seems to be an important part of the work and as there is four hand stencilled and hand painted squiggles on the box, it is not surprise the gallery in the USA is asking that price. I also saw somewhere that the artwork itself is also hand painted so each being slightly unique......... (can any owners on here confirm this?) Apparently not all of all these were sold either, so not many actually out there........ so wish i had the money to buy one of these in the early days when people were touting them on here.
there are good pictures somewhere on here showing the detail of the box in which the hook is supplied.

My favourite in situ is here: http://instagr.am/p/Bw1LkYvlnfC Wow! Has anyone else checked out this Instagram page - this persons collection is mind blowing. Differing colours of Girl With Balloon's and Nola's, brilliant! There is a couple of pictures of the Grappling Hook and and also of the box. Seems that the boxes are also sprayed with slightly differing shades of colours, i have seen some with black writing and also grey writing. Also the FRAGILE colour is differing shades of red.... intriguing. Can someone post a picture of the box from this persons Instagram, i don't know how to do it.

Banksy Grappling Hook Crucifix, by Dive Jedi on Jan 21, 2021 15:42:21 GMT 1, Remember some story about a fella winning a walled off competition just to be able to purchase one of these grappling hooks ,he was asking if it was worth getting an extra £30k mortgage to buy it, he was told they were selling for about £50k this was about 2 years ago good luck to him if he bought it .
Hope he did. He can now pay off his whole morgage with it.

Banksy Grappling Hook Crucifix, by bgdp on Jan 22, 2021 20:58:08 GMT 1, What an amazing piece and that’s not even starting with the box! Seems to me to be quite exceptional in the body of work Banksy has produced. I can’t think of anything else of that size and complexity, including four original sprays on the box, each displaying the usual wit and insightfulness we love him for.
Got to be worth half a mill by the end of the year.
Does anyone know if it’s true that not all 26 were sold??
