waiting for banksy??? , by tomhills1 on Aug 9, 2007 18:40:57 GMT 1, anyone bored of waiting yet? anyone actually think that POW will release any more of banksy's work? or micallef's for that matter?
think again, a contact of mine (who not only can pinpoint exact releases around three days before they happen but can usually tell me which three days in advance) has told me otherwise.
now i don't know this chap personally, professional basis only, and having grown tired of waiting i looked him up. he didn't have good news. according to him, LAZ will now be releasing all further prints by banksy and micallef too. he doesn't know when or where.
can't say i'm surprised by this but i am a little disappointed, i would never say never though until i hear POW and/or LAZ confirm something for certain, the former i'd guess.
or they could just go and release something, not holding my breath now though.
i was also informed that a much-maligned brighton artist had also signed with LAZ and would be releasing some exlcusive work that will prove the haters wrong, once and for all. that it will totally re-invigorate the somewhat stagnant stree/stencil movement, maybe involving some serious street-work 
now it's this that has got me curious, i thought conor harrington but he has already released work through LAZ and has exhibited there too it think. my knowledge is not broad enough to speculate, i was told my contact is sworn to secrecy (as seems to be the way if you're in with the LAZ people), i would love to know who it could be and also perhaps why they seem to have passed go and gone all the way to mayfair?
i'm stumped

waiting for banksy??? , by dave313perry on Aug 9, 2007 18:51:15 GMT 1, Hmmm very interesting Mr Lesbian! I could throw some names into the pot but i would purely be guessing?? i guess we will have to wait and see what the future brings.
It would explain why POW seemed to be dragging the Banksy releases out.
More importantly what sort of effect could this have on Banksy, his work, his following, his popularity!?!?

waiting for banksy??? , by carlito on Aug 9, 2007 18:52:23 GMT 1, Dan Baldwin? (much-maligned anyway)
regarding the Banksy news...thats just too depressing to comment on if its true..
thinking further on this can't see the LA series not being completed with PoW, but the delay does make this all questionable...
if this all goes over to Laz the prices and therefore the accessiblitly are going to completely feck up.... sigh

Bad news if it's true about POW - so my chances of getting one at a reasonable price have gone from 1/10,000 to zilch!

Fingers crossed, and I wish they'd just get on with it, POW are certainly pissing people off, (something Laz has already mastered)

that was my initial thought but i don't really have too broad a knowledge of locals beyond that.
i can't imagine POW would abandon a run halfway through but some of the info i've had off this bloke is untrue. one such nugget does actually help this scenario make sense but as he swore me to secrecy with the info at the time, it now seems rude to divulge it now that said info is highly relavent 
i truly hope he's wrong, maybe the payoff is this other artist? last thing he said before he hung up was "don't worry mate, everything's ok"........mmmn...........

waiting for banksy??? , by corblimeylimey on Aug 9, 2007 19:33:46 GMT 1, Having seen POWs accounts, they could be one reason for the move, POWs Total assets less liabilities was ยฃ63,013 on 30/6/05 this jumped to ยฃ391,469 by 30/6/06 (the latest accounts available) and POW made sales to Lazerides ltd amounting to ยฃ87,901.
The accounting could now be getting quite tricky for them particularly if Banksy is the main money spinner and Laz has the big say so in the Banksy side of things, also bear in mind the latest accounts would have just been done for the year to 30/6/07.

waiting for banksy??? , by pw on Aug 9, 2007 19:46:22 GMT 1, from a purely legal point of view, surely POW have been contracted to release these prints for almost a year now (assuming they do contracts of some sort). these prints are obviously a big money-spinner so why would they hand it over to Laz?

We don't know the full facts, but Laz is part of POW, he maybe taking all the Banksy money anyway, what do we know?

i am sure he has people to monitor this board too... probably all is timed and controlled to perfection... do you think they will release a print now that the ppl spent money on neate and there is the LA show upcoming? so i dont believe a print is yet due... he is making ppl nervious to make them hungry for more...

I think Dan Baldwins a good shout! and yup, a hell of alot of money has gone out of the buying market and into the Neate collection, resulting in a few price drops from what Iv seen

pity Dan has worked hard even more than Antony and he is not being appreciated so much.... and there are many others out there who are undervalued too...
still i believe Micallef is there to stay... saw his prints .... and got excited too.

mybe now though LAZ has the time to concentrate on DB and raising his profile? surley banksy and micallef will take care of their continued ascent, DB needs someone to build him up. must say though, i got the impression it was more of a street/stencil artist who he was on about. led to believe the streets of the south will start to bear the fruit of his work sooner rather than later, then lo and behold laz will show up with a whole load of related prints
anyone from the soouth coast have any light to shed on this???

If POW never release another Banksy or Micallef then I would be very gutted. But a lot worse things happen

yea, but Laz wouldn't have a bun fight and a hundred email to deal with.
the next batch of Banksy prints you see after LA will more than likely be small editions, 10K plus! Thats if they are coming from Laz!

i'm more intersted in who he's got next for us, will he promote the brighton lad through lower leagues/POW before he gets promoted to the premier league/LAZ? afterall they are clearly one and the same thing.
was POW ethos (hate that word) not all about bringing affordable art to the masses, kind of hypocritical when you think of the banksy situation, no?

if Laz does sell them it would probably be for much closer to the market value of previously released work. i.e. probably around ยฃ500 for unsigned and maybe ยฃ2k - ยฃ3k for signed (or ยฃ5k knowing Laz!).
therefore, I don't think there would be a bunfight since flippers will be discouraged and they would probably take weeks or even months to sell out.
of course the other side of this is that it might just push up the prices of previously released work. all speculation of course...
