Banksy - winner or sinner

[Lucy]

This catalogue arrived in my inbox from Bonhams, and I do really really admire Banksy and a lot of urban art generally, but £30k for a litho???

You should have seen the wall that went for £200k on ebay yesterday:

Some of his stuff is really clever and I am happy it makes a lot of cash. Just like houses, his works are worth what people will pay for them!

Not seen the Sid Vicious one before, like it. If I had £30k spare then I probably would...

Got one of these hanging in here:
Bomb Middle England

Cost me £30 when it first came out. Also got a couple of other prints too, silly money now so not bought one for ages.

I still kick myself that I did not spend a few hundred quid in the shop when I bought the bomb middle england one, worst bit is that I did not get one of these as were also on sale:
Rude Copper

Never mind...

He is still doing some good stuff too.

Ah Ferret, a man (or mammal) after my own heart!


ps: did you see Giuliani tried to have ferretts banned in NY?

[DiscoStu]

Where's my AndyW option?

[ferret]

There is more to the ferret than meets the eye

Don't mind if Giuliani does ban ferrets, I don't want to go to New York. Actually, doing a quick research they are already banned! Here they talk about "legalizing" [sp] ferrets:

Nutters!

I've got one of them Banksy tenners with Diana's face on it

[Cowboy Bob]

I've not got any of his artwork, but I've got his book Wall And Piece and it's really good. Have seen a few Banksy's in the flesh as well.

Slightly different medium but I also love this guy especially his 3D work.

Am really liking his stuff at the moment.
Have now got a "Trolleys" and a signed "Stop and Search".

Hopefully they'll be a good investment - maybe not, but worth a go I thought.

Rhubarb.
