Description
Banksy Radar Rat, Dirty Funker vinyl, unplayed Original Artwork. Brown edition 2008 Framed. Screenprint in colours on record sleeve with mint condition, unplayed 12” vinyl record. A limited edition of 500 from a complete run of 1500 in different colour-ways.
I bought this piece from a dealer who purchased it from a rather ‘naive’ Banksy fan who used mounting tape when he crudely home framed it. The dealer then had it professionally framed under UV glass on other side (as shown in listing). Sadly, it is the ‘best’ side with the ‘must have’ original Banksy sticker (removable) in mint condition that has tiny marks in corners from mounting tape. A restorer could remove mounting tape to make as good as new. Of course, looks great as it is but important to be straightforward.
I added an ‘album frame’ (not included in sale) to house the record and sleeve. Still a super way to buy a limited edition ‘after’ Bansky. It’s just not my favourite piece after all the hassle so selling on with buyer’s remorse. I hope someone else will love it and restore it to former glories. As it is a genuine Banksy work it will repay in spades any remedial work over the years. However, it does look cool shown as it is framed. Pic 7 shows both album cover sides pre mounting tape. Some collectors would not even be concerned by the tiny mounting tape marks. It’s best, though, to have pieces unblemished in my opinion. Open to sensible offers. Obviously, I have never removed from frame. I have complete faith in the dealer I bought it from as he was genuine and very honest - see last pic with his honest listing.
