No chance of that hammering

All his ex’s cards up as well,

Authentication issues aside I’ve always wondered about the practicalities and costs of owning a panting that needs a crane and crew to move it. The bill to move some of the larger street works would run into tens of thousands for long haul transportation. I’d rather buy a small canvas I could put in the boot of my car and that comes with a COA.

Even a slightly smaller one that fits inside a backpack would be much better than that wall removed from public use. A job created for the eyes of all must not become a job for the eyes of just one. You would go from a cat's eye cut, to one that has a thick pork cut.

Banksy is the artist.
And Banksy decides it.
But there's a lot of dirt around.
Especially in the art world.

The tag on the restored piece looks significantly bigger than the one on the piece in situ from 2006
I have moved the tags closer to the main image so you can see the comparison in size

It´s a broken work. Cut into eight pieces to handle it easier.
And with a non-original tag signature. That´s like putting a fake signature on a real but broken work.
Happy selling.

From those 2 shots, I'd say it's more than just the tag that's different!

I assume it'll be passed just like this one.

Is that the royal We or is it robin, banksy and gunge. Whatever the case, it does not sound very healthy at all. Good luck boys.
