When investing in Banksy artworks, one crucial factor cannot be overlooked: the Certificate of Authenticity (COA). As the enigmatic street artist’s popularity surges, so does the risk of counterfeiting. Therefore, ensuring that any Banksy piece you consider purchasing comes with a valid COA is essential for safeguarding your investment.

Pest Control, Banksy’s official office, is the only legitimate source of COAs for his art. These certificates serve as a guarantee of authenticity. They confirm that the artwork is genuine, providing reassurance for buyers and aiding in future resale opportunities. Without a COA, you might find yourself investing money in a forgery or a piece lacking legitimate provenance.

The prevalence of fake Banksy artworks is alarming. Unscrupulous sellers can craft convincing stories and use deceptive methods to make their forgeries seem legitimate. By prioritising the acquisition of pieces with a COA, collectors can avoid falling victim to these scams.

A certificate of authenticity is issued for paintings, prints, sculptures and other official Banksy artworks. Pest Control do not issue them for things like stickers, posters, defaced currency or anything which wasn’t originally intended as a ‘work of art’. Collectable posters and memorabilia is best bought from a trusted source who would check for provenance and authenticity.
What is a Certificate of Authenticity?
It’s like an M.O.T. for the art world. The certificate of authenticity (COA) means you can buy, sell or insure a piece of art knowing it’s legitimate and the wheels won’t fall off. Pest Control Office is the only source of COA’s for Banksy. We issue them for paintings, prints, sculptures and other attempts at creativity. We don’t issue them for things like stickers, posters, defaced currency or anything which wasn’t originally intended as a ‘work of art’. And we certainly don’t issue them for anything committed illegally, because we have a lawyer. Pest Control
Additionally, it is essential to be skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true. If a work is being sold very cheap compared to market value, or without the proper documentation, chances are it’s not a genuine Banksy. Always rigorously research any artwork you’re considering, checking for the correct edition sizes and distinctive features that authenticate a piece.
