Hey all thanks for the interest. Based on the pms which were pretty much in the same ballpark range
I'm going to throw this out there - first to pay $2000 usd gets their pick of the 2. Price includes shipping.
If nobody bites then I'll consider the offers in the order they came in.

Thanks for your interest and time.

I've finally found a house (no small feat in the San Francisco area real estate market), but sadly, it means that I'm going to have to let go of almost all of my art collection...

So with great regret, I've got available:

- Ian Francis, original canvas, Three People Escape on a Lifeboat

- Banksy Girl With Balloon (unsigned), framed

- Beejoir, Shell Blood for Oil, from the edition of 40 on Iraqi Dinars

- Stella Im Hultberg, Into the Wind

- Dave Kinsey, Social Distortion (FS, as opposed to the diptych), edition of 20.

- James Cauty, Postal Strike 8th Class, edition of 200

Please PM me with offers if you're interested... (apologies if it takes me a little while to respond, it's a busy work week)

Edit: I've got full provenance for everything...

That's a really nice collection, shame to let it go. Good luck.

Well...I think I have an advantage as I have what is primarily a night job and I live on the east coast. Don't worry...If I can score the Ian Francis original...I'll sell you my prints!

[paulah]

Very much doubt I can afford the Ian Francis, but would love it!

I take it we are all interested in the francis?

That is a pretty safe assumption.

[Matt-lock]

I'm holding you to that dupree!! If you get the canvas...I get the Deathstar!! haha

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

fair enough, bigman, fair enough.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

alright, Matt, you can have my Deathstar...
anything else? My girlfriend? My dogs? My house? Jeezz...lol

If you could provide pics of the girlfriend prior to bidding that would be extremely helpful. ;D

She's looking to get married! I'm afraid once that happens my happy-go-lucky days of buying art will be extremely numbered

I'll probably be having a huge sale should that day come ...

[dave313perry]

and if you could P.m me the price, cheers

Dave

[Zippy]

Thanks to everyone for all of the messages...

I haven’t been able to find any other Ian Francis originals that have been put on the market, so, to be honest, I don’t have a great sense of how much I should be asking for.

I’d hoped to get a sense of value from the offers people ended up making, but out of about two dozen messages, only two people actually put forward numbers.

One of the offers was a good one, but I really do need to sell it for as much as I can, so after chatting with a few people about what to do, I’m thinking that it probably makes the most sense to just put the canvas up for auction and see what the value ends up looking like.

So I've gone ahead and posted it on ebay...

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130157670547

I'd much prefer to sell it to a forum member though, so if anyone knows of a better way to do this, let me know and I'll cancel the auction.

And just for convenience, here are some pictures of the actual piece, although you can see it in greater detail at:

How much were the Francis canvases selling for at Blk Mrkt?

I believe they were between 6k-15k US. But I can't remember how much this one was off hand.

[bobbymeachamjr]

all were 6k except the 2 large ones were 15K usd - one in auction was 6K usd

[bobbymeachamjr]

regarding the francis piece...

list here in the forum > get people to waste their time > pull from forum > says its avail on ebay > people bid > pulls off ebay early = way to go bro

[kairbag]

Really frustrating !!!

[worlddomination]

Where did the Francis canvas go?

[Friendly Ghost]

My apologies folks. Didn't mean to waste anyone's time. Am new to selling things and wasn't sure what to do when I got so much interest but so few actual offers. I'm in the final steps of working things out now, but I think I've got it figured out finally. Thanks everyone for all of the interest... And sorry if I caused any trouble.
