Banksy Pink Donut, by trapnel1 on Jan 31, 2012 22:51:13 GMT 1, When I was looking to part trade mine for a signed Grannies before Christmas I wasn't offered more than 2200 cash - I thought 2400 would have been about right. Could't find a Grannies though, so held on to it!

Banksy Pink Donut, by schlege on Feb 1, 2012 8:23:08 GMT 1, This is easily the most under-appreciated Banksy print. It looks good, has loads of mening behind it and is very well done.
Oh, well. I guess its not for eveyone, but it burns most of the straightforward in-your-face Banksy "pop for simple people" -prints with humour and permanence that will last.

Out of interest what do you see as the 'loads of meaning'? I mean there's the basic cop joke loving their pastries. There's the connection to presidential race that was happening at the time. There's the cop that's mbw. Actually that's not a bad amount there.
Anyway I've always liked it because of it's simplicity, different yes, but not bad because of that to my mind.

There's the connection to presidential race that was happening at the time. There's the cop that's mbw. Actually that's not a bad amount there.
Behind the obvious "cops like donuts" joke there is the deeper meaning of cops protecting what they themselves value, not what keeps us safe. The motivations and focus of cops in society. Presenting something like that through an image is no easy task and Banksy has done extremely well here.
Also, due to the presidential election notion, there is the famous quote from JFK "Ich bin ein Berliner", which is, or is not, referred in this piece of art.
And Iยดm sure there is even more to it. But already a nice amount of cultural and political references in a "pretty picture".
But yeah, the ever so trendy opinion seems to be "its crap", with no further explanations. And sure, such an opinion is just as valuable as any other..
Edit: to the question, I think ยฃ2.4-3k should be about right in the current climate. Expect a raise to the level of other Banksy prints such as CYW, Nola, NBG etc. I dont see why there would be any difference in price between chocholate and strawberry.

Banksy Pink Donut, by lee3 on Feb 1, 2012 17:39:36 GMT 1, >>>Out of interest what do you see as the 'loads of meaning'? I mean there's the basic cop joke loving their pastries. There's the connection to presidential race that was happening at the time. There's the cop that's mbw. Actually that's not a bad amount there.<<<
I've always wondered if it's another nod to the street writers of the 80s. Haring/Basquiat and (not street) Kippenberger twisted art and language and communicated with one another across their oeuvres. Kenny Scharf was right in the mix with them back in the day and continues to twist that language with other artists (some famous, others not). Around the time of the Banksy donut painting ('09), Scharf was in the middle of doing his donut paintings which were from '08-'11:
kennyscharf.com/ks.php?gazgroup=1&gazpart=view&gazimage=84
kennyscharf.com/ks.php?gazgroup=1&gazpart=view&gazimage=1022
They both write in the streets and Banksy clearly pays attention and has loads of double entendre in his work. You just never know unless the artist says so but the fun is for us to come to our own conclusions. Yes, it's a simple laugh at face but he seems smarter than that to me and when you're releasing one or two prints a year, who knows?

Banksy Pink Donut, by schlege on Feb 2, 2012 7:57:17 GMT 1, Thanks lee3! Nice findings. To me this seems like one of the most well thought Banksy works. The obvious joke opens up at the first glance but with a little thought, thereยดs so much more into it. Not everyone likes that fact and some just want to bash out on the piece. Sure its easy to "get" a queen with a monkey face but a piece with a deeper meaning will stand time. And I dont want to take anything away from monkey faced queen -print. One of my favourites one glance jokes.
