Well if we are discussing prints then I would have to say LIITA, GWB, Laugh Now and Barcode. In that order.

I've got nothing of substance to add to what has already been said, but since when has that stopped anyone on here from running their yap?
Barcode has always been a favorite, and LIITA most represents Banksy and the graffiti/urban art world to me. And since having a daughter makes you a sucker for it, I have to include GWRB.
That said, I always envisioned Morons being my first Banksy purchase.

I agree about the GWRB image for little princesses, our daughter loves the image, although she will have to make do with the wall transfer, she loves it and always checks if she's getting taller..  |

'Have A Nice Day' What's not to like? Great message, nice layout. I love the wide format prints, and own a HAND too... However, I think these would be held in much higher regard and classed as iconic Banksy images if only all the prints in the series were devoid of the text and were image only. The type/title with the image just detracts from what are some of the best examples of his work. |

I also like his Outis "Love Hurts" and BNE "Water T-Shirt" prints.

I have a lot of love for chequebook vandalism, I mean it wasn't released as a print but it should have been. Brilliant subversion of reality there, when the city bankers start to riot. I have a friend who used to own a unique spray on grey board of this, with three Laugh Now's on the other side, he'd purchased it at an exhibition under the Westway (for not very much). I tried to persuade him not to sell it. No idea where it is now, this is it .. www.josephfriedmanltd.com/projects/banksy/#2 |

Wonder if the person knows how much that is worth thesedays as it would have been his first ever print to be released? Is that correct? |

Graphic art mount, St Peters. Quality outfit, expensive but they know what they are doing. I agree Jonny they must know it is worth a lot, it was late 2009 so before the fake WCP. |

Tell you what this thread shows you the depth of the man's talent as such a variation in the choices made
Not sure if the same for others as I read other people's choices and their reasoning etc.........I kinda think yeh may be that one instead.
Just so hard to be pinned down to just one as he has produced a stunning array of killer pieces. Very few have that ability and such a great quality control level
