Artists : Takashi Murakami

Takashi Murakami

A lightning rod between different cultural valencies, Takashi Murakami has stated that the artist is someone who understands the borders between worlds and who makes an effort to know them. With his distinctive "Superflat" style and ethos, which employs highly refined classical Japanese painting techniques to depict a super-charged mix of Pop, animé and otaku content, he moves freely within an ever-expanding field of aesthetic issues and cultural inspirations. Parallel to utopian and dystopian themes, he recollects and revitalizes narratives of transcendence and enlightenment. Mining religious and secular subjects favoured by the so-called Japanese "eccentrics", Murakami situates himself within their legacy of bold and lively individualism in a manner that is entirely his own and of his time.

FAQs

Banksy
- Do you offer insurance valuations for Banksy works?
  We offer a full insurance valuation service at the gallery for Banksy works. We will require details of the print including an image, condition and where it was purchased. A Banksy appraisal expert will then evaluate this before issuing the valuation on gallery headed paper. The letter will be signed and dated by the Gallery Director and can be used to assist for insurance purposes or simply for your own records. https://hanguppictures.com/banksy/insurance-valuations The cost of this service is £75 + VAT
  Link to this FAQ >
- Why use Hang-Up to purchase Banksy prints?
  We have specialised in dealing in Banksy prints since 2008 and are currently the largest online dealers operating worldwide. We have a dedicated in house exhibition space exclusively for Banksy works with a vast selection of signed and unsigned editions available. Gallery staff are passionate and knowledgeable and on hand to help you with any questions you may have.
  Link to this FAQ >
- Are Banksy editions still considered a good investment?
  This is a question we get asked a lot, and there is no straight answer as it is impossible to predict the future. We can say that his works have risen in price phenomenally over the past decade. In the past three years alone, prices for signed and unsigned prints have more than doubled to 2016. We do not encourage to just purchase for investment, though. Choose a piece that you like and enjoy the artwork. Any financials benefits that come with it should be considered a bonus.
  Link to this FAQ >
- What is Pest Control?
  Pest Control is the handling service on behalf of Banksy. Pest Control determine whether Banksy was responsible for making a particular piece of artwork and issue a Certificate Of Authentication (COA) if this is the case. The process is non for profit has been set up to help prevent innocent people from becoming victims of fraud.
  Link to this FAQ >
- What is POA?
  POA is an abbreviation for Price on Application. We try to put prices on all of the prints but often the higher and more sought after items will be marked as POA. This is due to the fact that the market can move quickly with prices rising based on auction results, new exhibitions, announcements relevant to the artist, etc. We will also mark some consigned pieces as POA so we can confirm availability before any online order is processed.
  Link to this FAQ >
- How do I know that I am buying a genuine limited edition Banksy?
  We will only sell Banksy prints with a COA (Certificate of Authentication) from Pest Control and we recommend whether purchasing from Hang-Up Gallery or elsewhere that you only purchase prints with this paperwork in place.
  Link to this FAQ >
- How do I get a Certificate of Authentication (COA) for my Banksy?
  COA's are issued by Pest Control. They can be applied for from the Pictures of Walls website. If the application is successful you will be contacted and a payment of £50 + VAT will be requested. You will then be issued a certificate of authenticity for your Banksy and it is ready to sell. Be aware the process is by no means immediate and can take anything from a few days to a few months.
  Link to this FAQ >
- I ordered a Banksy but there is no COA?
  We send all Banksy COA's separate to the picture. We do this for security reasons so please do not be alarmed! Your COA will be sent by tracked mail and is usually with you within a week.
  Link to this FAQ >
- How important is the condition of the artwork with Banksy ?
  Condition is very important and should certainly be a key factor when purchasing Banksy works.All Banksy works sold with Hang-Up are condition checked and we are fully transparent with our clients. Only 12 years ago Banksy prints were sold for less than £100 and not all were handled with the care and attention that one would expect today. For some prints this can add to the history as it creates a back story and a signature smudge or a screen over running adds to the individuality of the print. For others it can be problematic and affect value. If there are tears, creases, smudges, handling marks corner damage, restoration damage etc we will flag this up and advise accordingly. Cheap frames and non archival materials can reap havoc with artworks particularly with mounts staining the artwork. At Hang-Up all the Banksy prints we sell are thoroughly condition checked.
  Link to this FAQ >
- Are your Banksy prints sold in mint condition?
  Unless the print has never seen the light of the day and has been stored flat since purchase direct from the publisher (which very few have) we steer away from using the word mint. We prefer to say there are 'no condition issues' and the print is in 'excellent condition'.
  Link to this FAQ >
- Can I reserve a Banksy print?
  Banksy prints are extremely sought after and collectable limited edition artworks. As such when new ones become available the market can be competitive often with collectors looking to purchase the same print. The market can also move extremely fast with prices and availability changing very quickly. If a piece is left on reserve it prevents other collectors from purchasing. For both these reasons it is gallery policy that without special discretion from the director we will not hold Banksy works without a deposit. If you wish therefore to reserve a piece we ask for 20% of the sales price and once we have confirmation of payment the work will be removed from sale and marked as reserved. Without a deposit we will not be responsible if the print is no longer available even if you have asked us to reserve it.
  Link to this FAQ >
- Do you have original artworks by Banksy?
  Please contact the gallery directly for editioned canvas or unique works by Banksy.
  Link to this FAQ >
- How will you ship the Banksy I am ordering?

  Link to this FAQ >
Deliveries & Returns
- Do we recycle our packaging?
  Sending out artworks safely and securely requires considerable packaging. We have a specialist team in place to do this but as yet we have found no way around the excess packaging required to do the job properly. We are of course very aware of the environmental impact and encourage all our clients to reuse or recycle the packaging. Our packing team saves all bubble wrap, foam and cardboard from gallery purchases which may then be re-appropriated to package your orders.
