Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by thegreenrose on Dec 28, 2006 11:45:04 GMT 1, I just wonder why you are paying huge amounts of money for Banksy artwork when you can make your own. I mean for your own private use only if you make a exact copy. Or else design your own art. A Banksy quote from his book "Wall and Piece": " A regular 400ml can of paint will give you up to 50 A4 sized stencils. (...) ... for approximately ten pounds."

I'd like to know this as I have been offered a signed... I want to be sure before I spend any wonga ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) No signed runs as big as 500, most were 150, but early prints runs weren't segregated into separate runs ( e.g 1-150 / 1-600), but were signed as and when they were ordered, so some of the early prints are a likely to be a signed print of 243/750 as 43/750. Hope this helps.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by thx11 on Dec 13, 2007 21:57:47 GMT 1, I need a little help from you good people. I have a 2003 'Love is in the air'' pre POW stamped, unsigned, tagged, and verified by POW ( I still have the credit card receipt from the retailer). I want a Lancia Fulvia my good lady would prefer a bathroom under the stairs, either way the Banksy is going. I could bang it on the bay but have my doubts, I've only ever seen later POW stamped ones on ebay. This has to be more worthy as I understand it was the bristol ones fourth print released. Any advice welcome. ps don't try and put me of a Lancia.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by jam on Jun 30, 2007 4:49:02 GMT 1, This thread is for photos only for framed LOVE IS IN THE AID prints. Rather than spending all that time looking for examples of a this print framed up... you can see and post examples in this thread! This will allow everyone on the board to have a look at what other people have done with each print to see how different mats, frames, and mountings look for each individual print. This should be a good way to save time from searching all over, plus it will give you some nice ideas for your Banksy!
Feel free to add photos of your framed example in each of the appropriate threads, there is a "Framed" thread under each print listed in the 'Banksy Limited Edition Prints' section. To keep each thread manageable and on topic, please refrain from commenting. Also, remember to resize images that may be oversized so everyone can have a proper look at your framing work! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by policeaware on May 22, 2006 21:46:08 GMT 1, Considering they're selling a print running into the hundreds, the excuse for not taking another picture is very lame. 'Sorry I can't find the lead to download the photos'
That said they do say its numbered.
Ask for the close up picture before you pay that way they've got an incentive to deal with it. Post a picture when you get it so we can have a look.
Pay via paypal so you've got some protection from being sold a wrongun.

The seller has high feedback, although this doesn't guarantee the print it does mean they have an ebay reputation as a regular seller.
Lol...does this board self censor ? "eatmyhandbagpregnant dog" !!

Especially without a close up of the numbering. Glad I stumbled over you guys.. brilliant site and a cool bunch of people ! respect

I think it would be an EXTREMELY good idea for someone to begin a comprehensive registry, or collectors organization. This is sometimes done with some artists work that has been prone to easy forgery, and is commonly done with rare or limited edition collectors vehicles which are prone to the same. There are obviously individuals here and the Banksy Ebay forum that have an encyclopedic knowledge of the early works. It would probably save a great amount of time and trouble to begin to compile a list of known authentic prints and variations now, BEFORE any actual professional forgeries show up, which is bound to happen in the next few years, and while memories are still fresh. It is very common for a private registry or collectors club to issue thier own club authentications for pieces, along with keeping record of histories of ownership on file as well as photos individuals send of the numbered works they own so that if a forgery pops up with the same numbers later, no matter how convincing, there is never a doubt as to the true owner and provenance. The organization as a third party has dated records to protect the real owners! Registries like this succeed really well, as there is a serious motive for owners to submit thier information to the registry to protect themselves - all someone has to do is compile it into a list. As long as it happens soon, and as long as people able to "vet" real vs. fake pieces still are around, this will work. Wait 5 or 10 years from now and all these prints, real or not, will be worthless. Look at Miro prints as a perfect example of this phenomenon. No one can tell what is real and not! My father is part of two registries for classic cars, and starting one of them too late meant that people trying to register thier cars found two and even three of each serial number in existance, with no clear provenance for most. His other registry started early for another type of car, and they have the lists of who has owned over half the cars through each sale from new to current over 30+ years. No chance for a forgery there!
What do people think?

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by thebank on Oct 4, 2006 12:20:20 GMT 1, I suggested this idea a while ago
banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=powlaz&thread=1144938172&page=1
my comments about a register are at the bottom of the blurb I wrote
I really think that every true banksy fan wants this! so why not someone set it up.
POW kinda have a register, but it is only reputable from source . . . after that anything can happen
Hands up who else would list their itmes on a register?
Speed is of the essence here

Mate, not being funny, but it was poo pooed (ooer missus) at the time. I'd say if you are up for it that YOU should be the one to start it, then see how succesful it is.

That 500 quider was an unnumbered one i think so was likely to be a ack door print and worth less. £500 less by the looks of things.
