Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by JFCC on Feb 3, 2021 15:05:28 GMT 1, Thanks for the advice people. So are three coming up for auction... saw there was one at Sotheby’s and someone said Christie’s too. Where’s the other one? Christies, Sotheby's and Forum sold one earlier in the month at £125k hammer £167k all up.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by LJCal on Feb 3, 2021 15:11:53 GMT 1, I think JFCC makes a point, I think there was alot of pent up demand for Litta as so few came to the market in recent years but now the price has been established there is a risk things could get saturated. The Forum auciton result was £125k so around £160k with fees, if you're playing it safe an offer around £150k privately needs serious consideration. You may get more after the March auctions or if results come in below expectations you may not.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by therivler1 on Mar 22, 2021 18:23:34 GMT 1, Does anyone have or have seen an unsigned LIITA with an edition number > 51 and <100?
Christies has that there were only 50 signed. I know of another one signed that is numbered less than 50 (in addition to this auction). So, if we can find an unsigned in between 51 and 100, that lends more proof to only 50 that were signed.
EDIT: Also, if you know of a signed piece, can you post if the edition number is < or > 50. If we get more datapoints of all signed being numbered < 50, that lends more proof.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by JFCC on Mar 15, 2022 12:07:13 GMT 1, What a great print to own!! The value of LIITA have been fairly volatile over the past 24 months...understatement!!!
At auction they peaked at £510k (inc all fees and VAT) in April 2021, which took everyone by surprise, as had the AP that sold at £540k in December 2020.
Since then they have "normalised" and my view is if a signed LIITA was auctioned today it would make around the £225k mark (inc all fees and VAT) which would return to the seller about the hammer price of about £175k.
A private sale should probably get closer to £200k.
Just my view and good luck with whatever you decide!!!

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by 18921892 on Mar 15, 2022 12:23:25 GMT 1, A Signed AP LIITA hammered month at Sothebys for approximagely £140K and cost the buyer £175k. That's the most recent auction result. Some would argue that AP's are more sought after than the regular edition and are therefore worth more. Here is the listing below.

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by JFCC on Mar 15, 2022 12:40:39 GMT 1, There have been more AP sales than anything else in the last 24 months and whilst I agree they are worth more than a regular print the market has been very much all over the place and I think is a little saturated for this print so I viewed the last 2 as oddities rather than the norm in the same way I disregarded the first of them.
I also think that a signed Flower Thrower (along with some others) does not belong in a Banksy only sale and should "step up a level" as it doesn't sit well against £30 unsigned prints. So to get decent auction price today you have to be very specific about the auction you want it to go in.
The last signed LIITA was auctioned at Cornette de Saint-Cyr and hammered £187k which cost the buyer £227k
For the sake of completeness here are the actually all up prices of the last 3 APs
Dec 2021 Hessinks £345k All done inc fees and VAT - Hammer £270k
Feb 2022 Forum Auction £201k all done inc fees and VAT - Hammer £150k
Mar 2022 Sothebys £189k all done inc fees and VAT Hammer - £140k
The prices on the auction sites omit VAT which will be payable by the buyer (or an import tax equivalent)!!
Just a view 🤷🏻♂️

Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by silvermyn on Mar 15, 2022 13:17:42 GMT 1, APs fall into two camps IMHO. Firstly, there are those with variations to the main edition. These APs are, in some respects, more desirable. Secondly, you have APs that are no different to the main edition. These have a whiff of "surplus prints being knocked out for mates" about them. Personally, less desirable for me than the main edition.
Each to their own I guess but I really can't see the attraction in APs that don't have variations.
