No Ball Games

No Ball Games is the latest print release by Banksy which again was released by pictures on walls. There were 2 version, a grey background which was released in store and a green background released via online lottery. Each was an edition of 250, with 230 of those available to the public. Feedback on the method of release were mixed but the general concensus was that pow could of given a bit more information. It was unclear as to when emails for the lottery draw winners would be released and the store release was unclear until near to release. Those wishing to purchase a grey edition had to queue at the pow gallery, with the first 230 being able to purchase a print at £450. This led to queues forming early the day before the relase in sub zero temperatures. Surely there are better ways to do these releases pow? especially as a lot of the buyers instantly stuck them on ebay. Why not do as you did for the vlh release and charge to buy lottery tickets with the money going to charity?

    "If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture."
