I would like to know where this $750K number is coming from. Generally Banksy originals of this kind are priced closer to low five-figures, but if someone has inside knowledge here please share.
This article puts the value at around 20K pounds: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/banksy-sells-original-paintings-worth-2368651 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/banksy-sells-origina...
- fennecfoxen 13y agoAnyone else take a look at that sort of price tag and ponder whether they're in the wrong business? :P
- adventured 13y agoIt's amazing what top-shelf reputation is worth in almost any industry.
- ScotterC 13y agoYou can price something for any amount. Whether it sells at all or in vast quantities is another matter :)
- softbuilder 13y agoYes, and all you have to do is be a genius! See also: Step 3.
- tagabek 13y agoCould this price be the estimated value for all of the pieces put together?
- threeseed 13y agoI collect street art as my hobby and Banksy originals are much, much higher than low 5 figures for an original. Usually it's that amount of money for a print edition run of 150/200. That said it is a supply/demand game and these aren't as intricate or interesting as his other pieces.
- mtalantikite 13y agoThey might be pieces collectors have seen before, but on the other hand they're crucial parts of a one off performance piece, and I'd bet that adds value for collectors.
