Frequently Asked Questions About Banksy

Does my Banksy need Pest Control certification?
Pest Control is Banksy's official authentication body. Certified works command significantly higher prices than uncertified ones. If your work lacks certification, we can advise on the process. Note that Pest Control does not authenticate all works — some early pieces and street works may not be eligible.
What makes a Banksy print valuable?
Subject matter, edition size, condition, and certification are the primary value drivers. Signed works are extremely rare and command massive premiums. Hand-finished or unique works are the most valuable. Iconic subjects like 'Girl with Balloon' consistently outperform.
Can I sell a Banksy without Pest Control certification?
Yes, but uncertified works sell at a significant discount. We can help you navigate the market for uncertified works and advise on whether pursuing certification is worthwhile for your specific piece.
