'paint on acetate' - this looks like it could have been used to make the gdp prints & giveaways?

The GDP site mentioned that he sprayed directly onto the screens.

Looks pretty similar

we have gotten to the point that even the acetates have become collectors items.
this reminds me of a story when I toured disney studios and the old artist told me about the days where they used to take the acetates from the animations cells and used them to slide around the floor on. they just had so many and they were "worthless" because they were already used to make the Cartoon sequence. flash forward 50 years and those things were selling for hundreds and 1000's of dollars.

I really love this piece more so then any of the posters I have seen.

i recall the site  said painted directly on acetates.   the acetates are the the film plates. the screens are the mesh fabric  stretched onto frame  that is then turned into a printing stencil with the help of the acetate.

stating the obvious, but just in case. this acetate was exposed to water and or chemicals to have the ink smear and prevent possible future reprinting of the flower. that being said. A very good chance this piece is a test plate that never actually made it to production. A plate where they were experimenting with different "spray patterns " until they achieved the desired look they were after.

"processing film"  = acetate

Depending on what this makes at auction the clown skateboards original acetates might come back out of the vault!🤑

Only (main) difference is those were printed on a inkjet or laser printer or dark room camera. What we have in this example is a hand worked piece by the artist him /them self . Who also thought it through enough to keep its artistic integrity without comprising The set of reproductions made from this piece.

This is like Picasso Signing a napkin That he drew a sketch on for his sunflower piece and then giving the napkin to the employee at the nursery as a thank you for helping him.

Oh Trevor, I hope you have others in your collection, because this is a beauty! Someone will have a lovely Banksy!

Gorgeous piece, though I still think I’d prefer the original LIITA on my wall, whether the unsigned up at Sotheby’s or the signed coming up at Christies.

I think this medium would look rad framed in a LED light box.

hoping the other 2 images come up to complete the view.
but, as we all know this one is the crown of the 3.

If Banksy says "give Trevor a COA", Trevor gets a COA. Simples.

With the amount of prints coming to the market now, may see a slight pause on the continual growth previously seen at every auction. Once all the early collectors sell, the market will become limited again as buyers now will be most likely a long term hold
