Hey,
I'm looking to buy original Os Gemeos works, canvases, doors or anything that you might have available. Or if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There work isn't the easiest to come by, but it certainly isn't impossible with enough effort. You need at least 40k to get your foot in the door for a strong work. But I'm sure you're aware of this. As an initial stop, I'd maybe drop Patricia Armocida a line to see if she still has the couple works that didn't sell from their show with her earlier this year in Italy. There were a couple doors and a nice canvas last I spoke with her a few months back. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they've since sold. And I'm sure you've also already attempted or considered, but I'd throw up a post on banksy.info. This a much warmer and better place, but I know of a couple UK collectors with some hefty collections of work from the Twins, who might be more likely to see your request over there. Best of luck.

Thanks lowpro, I've already tried Patricia Armocida and she only has doors left and whilst they are ok they are not quite what I'm looking for. I also tried prism but was a little too slow.
I may take your advice and try on the banksy forum!!

I agree. I'm not into the doors in general. But the ones leftover in Italy did nothing for me. Last I spoke to her, Rhina was still around. Aside from the unappealing purple backdrop, I would've jumped on it myself. But I held off, even though all of the foreground work was right up my alley and very strong. The Prism works we insane, though. Very unique pieces too. Either would've been a dream come true. But both were definitely presold to gallery or artist friends prior to the public having a crack. If you manage to get lucky and come across anything, drop me a PM. I'd love to see oh and welcome to the board!

You may want to also check with Frankie at Campbarbossa and Joshua Liner as I know each of them have pieces by the twins for sale on occasion.
