Banksy Book • WALL and PIECE

[Warm Gun]

Don't be daft, they're about £15 if you get the paperback fingerz, no need for an ultra rare one off first edition, hand written by pixies in their own magical bodily fluids, illustrated by mother nature, printed on the sacred shed skin of the unicorn queen, bound using satan's p***s with a sprayed, stenciled and varnished pull out artwork of banksy's ass cheek in the center pages version........although a grand for all that ain't to bad.

[fingerz]

do you pete?

[Coach]

Not to sure about that price, but I had not seen a pic of the book with dustcover before - it looks good. Thanks for that.
I have a hardback first edition, but sadly without the dustcover. If its going to become valuable, I think I might get another copy for browsing through!

[RBK]

I have one of these. They are rare - as not too many came with the dust jacket.

Mine isn't for sale - sorry guys. Good luck in your search!

[achtungbono]

um

ive got one with the dustjacket - if its worth hundreds, then I may pop it on ebay

Pfft

[fingerz]

whats the difference inside or is it just the dust jacket

[wizzy]

Oi Fingerbob, you are aware you are breaking that books spine are you? why not just jump up and down on it for pudding!.

[fingerz]

there some thing underneath wiz ..

[jonnyx]

"whats the difference inside or is it just the dust jacket"

i expect the numberline (on the copyright page) will be different signifying it's edition e.g. my copy has the numbers 28 30 32 31 29 27 which as far i i can tell makes it a 27th edition (or 27th print run) presumably the ones with the dust jackets will have the number 1 in there somewhere designating a 1st edition (or print run).

[curiousgeorge]

I think it's the first digits the denote the edition (28th in this case Mr.x)

Could be wrong, will go and check some of my 1st editions after chish and fips

[fingerz]

these are the codes i can find

[jonnyx]

yeah it's not always an exact science (from a quick internet browse) and it depends on the publisher but anyway i know what you're saying because 28 is the first number. anyway for me (27th or 28th) it means i can happily doodle on it if i like without affecting it's value.

[jonnyx]

yeah think that's a first edition fingerz www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A2903744

[jonnyx]

my copy is also from 2005 so they must have printed up the runs in really small editions or sold absolutely shedloads of them if they got up to (and passed) 28!!

[fingerz]

thanks for that link jonnyx ...

[jakek]

Looks like mine is first edition too. I'd bought it as soon as i knew it was available so makes sense...


banksy - wall and piece - dust jacket


banksy - wall and piece - 1st edition

and i've no idea what edition these smaller ones are - the only one that i could possibly date is the "banging yur head against a brick wall" as i have 2 editions - one before an isbn was issued (with the elephant on the barcode) and one with a proper barcode and isbn above it.

Lots of people collect 1st edition books - just as a crazily as us with all our art/screenprints. These are definitely worth at least a few hundred.

[fingerz]

Banksy - work in progress - Weston Super Mare (detail) 3

Their sales patter...

Five original spraypaint paintings on paper. One with extensive hand drawn amendments by the artist. These are the actual paintings made by the artist in the process of producing his most famous prints which were later published by Pictures On Walls. "Love is in The Air" measures 13 x 19.5 inches and is black spraypaint on irregular shaped white gloss paper. "Bombing Middle England" is present without the bomb section and measures 15.5 x 16 inches, black spraypaint on irregular shaped white gloss paper. "Weston Super Mare" consists of three pieces and is present in two states, the first measuring 16 x 19 inches is the man sat on the bench, black spraypaint on irregular white gloss paper and with the cane cut out. This is heavily worked by the artist in black pen and whiteout to add definition. The second state is the now amended image of the man on the bench, without the cane cut out. Black spraypaint of irregular shaped white gloss paper measuring 19.5 x 12.5 inches. The third piece is the saw portion. Black spraypaint on white irregular shaped gloss paper measuring 12 x 23 inches. As is essential with all BANKSY work, full documented provenance and of course Pest Control certification is included. A highly important group of original paintings documenting the artist’s transition from street based guerilla artist to gallery sensation. The artist considered these paintings so important he requested them for his highly acclaimed Bristol Museum Exhibition in 2009.
