Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI

[qbertplaya]

I spotted this little guy in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) the other night.  He was about a foot tall, on the side of a random building.  Anyone have any opinions as to whether it might be a Banksy?

Pretty sure this is Icy and Sot....there is another one higher up on Metropolitan/Lorimer.

Thanks for letting me know, folks.  I am a noob to the world of street art.  The one cool thing BOTI did for me (regardless of whether you liked the month or not) is that I now am more aware of all the awesome street art in random places throughout the city.  An eye-opening month, if you will.

Damn, that's a lot of "Removed, to be sold"

[jettad]

Trying to add the photo.

What price for this piece ..

[Deleted]

Priceless, as in it wont sell, nor will anything else that Keszler has in the sale.

[sal]

I love it how the terminology is "removed to preserve".. also, funny how OMAR NYC aka SWATCH ended up being a star of an art fair.. oh, the irony!

I have reliable info that the Bronx, Ghetto 4 Life is soon to be sold.

And the Grumpier door sold fairly recently to the EU for 55 or 65K. I forget which.

So BOTI is officially over?

Met a random person tonight who told me he "loved street art" and had a "Banksy on the wall" without knowing that I collect street art. I asked what piece he had and he said Hustler Club. This of course struck me odd because I didn't think this was ever produced as a print—please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm guessing he has some random framed poster of it, but he was definitely trying to imply that he owned a "Banksy."

[maddoghoek100]

the real gate from the hustler club was pulled, maybe he bought it.

[disdig1]

is your friend named larry flynt by any chance?

[Cornish Crayon]

Third-party canvas or shitprint; ignorance is bliss. 

The original is inside the Hustler Club now, and there were never any canvases/screenprints, etc.

Unless he was implying that he lives at the Hustler Club, which would actually be a pretty decent joke.

This show finished then?.
Good read.
Eeee those were the days, you could pick up a Banksy for 50 squids and still have enough left for a bus ride.

It seems aaaaaaages ago man dudes.

Hear hear! And with little to no negotiating skills you could als buy two Banksy canvases for the price of one...
Good ol' days!

Anybody have any ideas on what image the roller is from on the canvas behind the black this is not a photo opportunity and below the liita? The roller looks differnt to the one on the roller rat to the right plus a differnt angle and thinner canvas.

love re watching the video on YouTube just wish I was there

[Deleted]

Same as one on right, its on its side down back of table top (resting on a box).

I think.

I talked to the security guy who oversaw the Central Park sale; it apparently only lasted for less than three hours, during which the price was initially around $120 per piece and gradually lowered to $60 (which was the price for the smallest pieces). The way it was described seemed much different from how it was portrayed in the video; like he was going to book it after selling 1 or 2 pieces regardless.

I think the video was more of a prank/statement, basically.
