There's a new exhibition in Frankfurt called "The Art of Banksy", but it's unauthorized and they are only showing replicas of his work.
It's a weird concept. Not done by a museum, but as a "pop up event" in a former Esprit clothing store.
https://www.theartofbanksy-frank…
How do you feel about this?
- They have a "100% unauthorized" Bansky exhibition (tourist attraction) here in Prague as well. I feel fine about it.palimpsest
- He's managed to make himself be part of the artworld and the conversation around it. While maintaining his work accessible to those outside of it.palimpsest
- He's the André Rieu of the artworld. So all these exhibitions just add to the brand.
Everybody wins.palimpsest - They had the very same exhibition here in Munich last year at a club attached to the Deutsches Museum.
I skipped it.Continuity
- PonyBoy4
- Hold on, I always thought theses were stencils? Surely he doesn’t free-hand these? If so I have a whole new level of respect for him_niko
- The stencil king looking out for the next opportunity to exploit.utopian
- Thank god Banksy is there to save the day. What would the Ukrainians do without him?Chimp
- Ego marketing on the back of a suffering population. Tasteless.stewart
- is that a photo of bansky in the last picture?uan
- supposedly yes, uan... what's funny is the outrage and ARREST for those who 'stole' one of the Ukraine murals.
cnn story: https://cnn.it/3Fh1h…PonyBoy - If Banksy paints a mural on the site of your building do you instantly become a millionaire? Couldn't you just sell his work, assuming you weren't alreadyyuekit
- killed by Putin's bombing campaign?yuekit
- judging from the picture...it's Quentin Tarantino posing as Banksy.uan
- Umm. Banksy has always used conflict and war as his subject. Not sure why all the knickers are in a twist.dibec

- Vandal covers up....vandals work.
Lock her up!
Lock her up!
Lock her up!utopian - I think she's trying to clean the paint off in the photo. But the whole thing is weird.PhanLo
- funny...actually so absurd and funny...
I think he did it himself.uan - Like that person who disrupted Tour du France with that banner on the roadsidegrafician
- Fuck off it's street art.i_was
- maybe hers is "art" tooGuyFawkes
- that is an awful paint-jobsted
- At least the person who did this, will feel just like Banksy painting it: fearful, anxious of anybody who might find and punish you for your vandalism actgrafician
- she's the real banksysarahfailin
- Quite staggering that people are unable to understand the woman in the picture is attempting to remove the paint.face_melter
- Hunted? Really?Wordsworth
- this is ridiculous. is police searching for Banksy? why do they wanna go after someone who crossed someone else?oey_oey
- Vandal covers up....vandals work.

There was an auction of prints earlier today in London, many didn't go for their estimate prices - some less than half, the banana one pictured had a pre-sale estimate of £100.000
- looks like two bananas prints at auction, both sold within estimates.

Banksy Creates Bob Ross-Dubbed Process Video of New Work Depicting Oscar Wilde Escaping Prison
- hahah nice!Sellies
- very touchy ahaha :Dsted
- Nice to see how much of his technique is by hand rather than all stencils.BaskerviIle
- Apparently the use of Bob Ross is a reference to Wilde staying with a Robert Ross when he wrote The Ballad of Reading GaolBaskerviIle
- well donedbloc
- Wow. If totally legit how does he not get spotted in a place like that!?HijoDMaite
- all you need is a blanket with fake brick pattern and a scaffolding to hold it together.sted
- It’s Mr. BrainwashNBQ00
- It’s impressive to say the least.instrmntl
- I like the actual piece. made me smile.inteliboy

Hmmmm. Coincidence?
Massive Attack just announced that they’ve remastered a classic album into...a spray can
- uan3
- Interesting. He doesn't appear to me to have a subversive enough nature to be Banksy.mort_
- Ortica Noodles worked for Banksy I've heard...oey
- Seems pretty subversive to me. His language and body language matches Banksy in exit through the gift shop...set
- I say no. But the Massive Attack guy probably likes the rumors.NBQ00
- what about the stencil style...matches the faded out etches of banksys.uan
- ^ but emails...oey
- I ate a bag of chips in Stokes Croft once...maybe I'm Banksy?see_thru
- ^oey
- Pretty obvious that's its him to meset
- NBQ000
Yes how does he keep anonymous if he's selling pieces & art. He needs to be in contact with somebody? And how do the financial transactions happen?
- agentshapesalad
- /\ who knows the artist's identity, and pays an unnamed corporation, and who's every interest is in keeping the hype train going.ben_
- He's not selling the art...people with [his] pieces are selling. [He] has a couple people in the loop - but Banksy's schtique isn't the money side.see_thru
- ....and are you certain it's a He?see_thru
- it's not a "he"; it's an art collectiveKrassy
- see_thru
- ^ BANKSY!Krassy
- so is a "she" in the collective or not? and does "she" get payed equal?api

- fooler0
- you can hold a soldering iron like that if you're not a sissycapn_ron
- did that once, was in pain for many days...shapesalad
- plus why the massive motor, heavy mounts, blades facing the wrong direction...shapesalad
- The blades facing the wrong way was the first thing I noticed. Then in the video they show more of a tradition drum blade shredder.fooler
- yeah i keep seeing people on social "the blades are wrong way" but that is the top (for fun?), the bottom has a proper shredder rollerprophetone
- I wonder about the battery part in all of thisprophetone
- Gardener-1
- Is that the guy from Breaking Bad?PhanLo

- What isn't art?utopian
- ironically it will increase its valuespl33nidoru
- nice oned_gitale
- Who picked that frame??formed
- yup, it's probably doubled in value nowGnash
- The buyer now owns a piece of the history of modern art. It could worth 10 times its original value. Nice job !gonzalle
- no way!notype
- so Banksy or someone was there to press the button on the remote control to get it working.shapesalad
- Or they were. You know. Remote.monospaced
- who owns the artwork now? is sotheby's still the owner as no money has flown yet? they will want to keep it and action it for more $uan
- *Banksy provided the frame. Probably demanded to display as it is.pango
- https://twitter.com/…notype
- when was banksy ever not cool?Milan
- excellent!renderedred
- Milan. When his work is showing in the art gallery and auction house.pango
- Art becomes performance art. Anyway.. just a bit of paper at the end of the day. Seen plenty of paper before, myself, have I.shapesalad
- lol @ the twitter videoutopian
- Super cute.shellie
- pango, he doesn't put his work in galleries or auction houses. people steal it and put it there.Milan
- This one seems deliberately given to the auction house tho... He was also accused of stealing other people's work in the early days. If he is one person.pango
- of course, it's a deliberate middle finger stunt to galleries and auctionsMilan
- ^ increasing his own value in the processspl33nidoru
- He's probably the guy from Massive Attack. Also he became uncool when his celebrity outstripped his message and started selling books at Urban Outfitters.garbage
- lol @artmaquito
- i saw him once, but i can not remember...api
