I'm looking for original Banksy street pieces. Please nothing stolen or removed without permission. I'm not expecting pest control provenance but do need some proof of the history of the piece.

thanks

Why the oh no Ronhill? I think I'm being fair enough with the post.

as im sure you'll already know most people feel that street pieces should stay on the street.

[deepheat]

I respect and agree with that slammer but the reality is that there is virtually nothing left on the street. Nobody is going to go out and nick a Banksy off the street to sell to me because there isn't any left to remove. Sad but true.

There is however a lot of great Banksy art out there with collectors already which pest control won't prov but is real. I fancy some and can live with the morals of where it came from. I may take some flak for my opinion but so be it.

most people who have a 'problem' with street pieces being removed are upset because they didnt have the / time / balls / or foresight to remove / cover over them, themselves.

anyone who thinks 'street' pieces will surive on the street have had a misplaced childhood.

rule number one of the streets: possesion is 9/10 of the law.

All street pieces are stolen or removed without permission, which makes your search for a piece with proof of history questionable.

That's rubbish - most people who are genuinely into street art have a 'problem' with pieces being removed because they belong on the street

If the piece is on your property it's not stolen, If you ask permission to remove it from the property owner its not stolen, If its recovered when the property is demolished its not stolen.

Adam Neates? You would leave it then?

Well it was posted under the "your art" thread. I have no idea whether any editions had been made.

Adam Neate left art to be found and removed.

Technically this would be theft, as it still belongs to the land owner, whether he's about to put a wrecking ball through it or not.
