How To Sell A Banksy (Movie Trailer)




Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions. But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall?
Going up against the Art Establishment, Critics, Auction Houses, Gallery Owners and Authentication Boards in a quest for the elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the murky and protective world of Banksy.
“HOW TO SELL A BANKSY” raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story, crime-theft, comedy-caper.

New Banksy Print to Help VOINA


But what makes this public sale even more interesting is that Banksy has chosen the legal defense fund of the underground Russian artist collective VOINA to be the recipient of all of the proceeds from the sale.

If you're not familiar with VOINA, two of its members are currently in jail in
St Petersburg for drawing a massive penis on a bridge opposite KGB headquarters. The action was a protest of police corruption.
‘Choose your weapon’, the print Banksy made available this morning comes in an edition of 100 on grey, plus a smaller edition of red, blue and green (25 each).

Now there is no excuse for not getting the art fan in your life the perfect Christmas gift.

New From Banksy




Banksy has reconfigured this children's ride to have the dolphin jumping over a BP oil barrel and dragging a tuna net behind it. Look at how pissed the dolphin looks.

Banksy Named One Of Britain's 50 Unsung Heroes


The dubious source of this list is a cross promotion to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the British Lottery. Of course gamblers who throw away over $40 million a week took the top spot.
