The new thrower is great. But it’s not the original thrower. The multiple framing will be considered a distraction by some. Plus it’s nowhere near as rare.

Che Guevara. $750,000 hammer

That looks cheap compared to the LIITA 

I think it’s all down to the image – this is an okay but not amazing image.

I think you are right, we are seeing a big shift in strong images closing the gap on the cheaper originals

The big question is which image will be next to pull away from the pack?

Wow! That's a lot of money. I know a guy who has a normal edition signed, how much would one of them be? Thoughts?

[obaki69]

My WCP version of this is gonna look so DOPE now once I get it framed...lol. $300 USD all in! 🤣🤣🤣

[BME]

Yeah, that’s serious cash. As far as I’m aware the AP is the same as the normal edition so I don’t think there’s be much between them in terms of price. Happy to be corrected by more knowledgeable forum members if I’ve got that wrong though!

Cyw would be my guess. Amazing image and each color(apart from the two greys)is a run of only 25.

The unsigned on eBay along with the choppers both sold yesterday, either a coincidence or the auction had an influence and made a buyer see them as good investments

Signed AP is not worth more than signed numbered. If anything some buyers prefer numbered because it’s more identifiably part of the edition.

What's the story behind it? I've always considered it one of his weaker images, but that was from viewing it just as a Pulp Fiction gag. Would love to know more.

"""""""Find out more about Banksy’s ‘Pulp Fiction’ series, browse prints & editions for sale & view the works wanted by active buyers right now.

Banksy’s Pulp Fiction depicts a famous scene from the eponymous 1994 film by Quentin Tarantino. It was released in 2004 an edition of just 150 official Pulp Fiction signed and 600 unsigned prints. However, it first appeared in 2002 as a stencilled composition in the streets of London, near Old Street tube station. It was visible until 2007, until Transport for London painted over the wall, estimated at £300,000, on the grounds that the work lent an atmosphere of social decay and neglect in the capital, despite the well-known drawing art fans and tourists to the area. When the mural was covered, a local artist sprayed-painted the words “Come Back” in its place, addressed to Banksy. Banksy then re-tagged his original Pulp Fiction in exactly the same place, but this time the characters were holding real pistols and wearing banana costumes instead.

READ LESS
In January 2007, the late graffiti artist Ozone wrote over the new piece with the words “If it's better next time I'll leave it”. The 19-year-old artist tragically passed away a few days later, along with fellow artist Wants, after both were hit by an underground train in Barking, East London. Banksy created another piece over his original Pulp Fiction mural in tribute to the two young graffiti artists, depicting an angel wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a skull in his right hand. He also posted a note on his website that read “When we lost Ozone we lost a fearless graffiti writer and as it turns out a pretty perceptive art critic. Ozone – rest in peace”. The tribute mural was quickly referred to as “Ozone's Angel”. Subsequently, Banksy's original Pulp Fiction mural also became immediately popular, and was mass-reproduced on commercial merchandise.

The work depicts the two characters played by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in the 1994 American film Pulp Fiction. Rendered in white stencilled forms on a black background, Banksy's version presents the protagonists Vincent and Jules, side-by-side and aiming their firearms in synchronisation. However, in a humorous and ironic twist, their pistols have been replaced by bright yellow bananas, the only touch of colour in the otherwise monochrome composition.

WHY IS PULP FICTION IMPORTANT?

Pulp Fiction first appears lighthearted, paying homage to the film and other aspects of popular culture. In fact, Banksy uses humour to subversively undermine ideas of war and violence, transforming the scene into something harmless and even laughable. Pulp Fiction has also been interpreted as a comment by Banksy on America's foreign policy, which he often overtly criticises, as can be seen in the works Have A Nice Day, Applause, Bomb Hugger or Flags.

Why we love Pulp Fiction… ‘There are several references to popular culture in Banksy's Pulp Fiction, in addition to the obvious reference to Tarantino's cult film. The bananas used as guns are also reminiscent of Andy Warhol's iconic 1967 album cover for American band The Velvet Underground, which depicts a banana on a monochrome background. They also recall Monty Python's sketch “Self Defence Against Fresh Fruit”, which appeared in the episode "Owl-Stretching Time" from Monty Python’s Flying Circus in 1969, in which an instructor teaches a class how to defend oneself against an assailant armed with a piece of fruit.’ """""""""

Ah, sorry, I thought you meant more story behind the print image, rather than what happened to the original later.

molotov become a flower bouquet
guns become a banana's fruit


very similar


one painted in bethlem where riot are frequent
one painted in London in a dangerous area (I think back in the day that area had a record number for gun's deaths)

I think most of the prints made before Barely Legal will reach this point, since people did not treat these "pre-fame" editions with due care. I am confident that almost half of each edition ended up in a bin, or stapled to a wall, or worse. This mainly applies to the editions that sold out as of 2005; many created pre-2005 stayed in stock until Banksy picked up fame, and then people scooped them up, so this would not apply to those.

Something like CYW will clearly fetch a premium. That said, I expect the entire edition is in pristine condition, so in theory there is decent supply.

Based on the above, my eyes are on: Barcode, Laugh Now, Happy Choppers, Monkey Queen, HMV, Flying Copper, Pulp Fiction, Radar Rat, Placard Rats, CND, and J&J. Particularly signed versions of these, which I expect are in short supply by now.
