Banksy • Paranoid Pictures

[Poster Bob]

Several galleries have them at £90k+ and none of them are selling.

[Unica]

Lance Armstrong owns a very nice Banksy Paranoid Pictures. Fast forward to 4.25.
He has quite the art collection and a lovely house as seen on architectural digest.

Anyone know what the piece is hanging high in the garage. Has a red color to it and rather large.

[cnrdvln]

That wasn't a Rothko in the last bedroom was it? If it was I'm sure he'd mention it in passing

Ah thanks.

[jB]

Nice Phil Frost in that lower bedroom as well.

[Criminal Mischief]

And a nice David Ellis in the master bathroom. Jealous of that personalized Ed Ruscha for his 40th birthday (and note the additional Ed Ruscha over his fireplace). Quite a nice collection.

[nobokov]

That guy sure has great taste. Thanks for sharing

[hibster]

still a drug cheat & a bully

[Jeezuz Jones Snr]

He was apparently struggling financially after all the cheating. He invested in Uber a few years back 😉 worth billions now!! Someone with that much cash I’d be wanting mountain views at least

[mehor]

Great house, art and for sure the baddest cyclist. But still an a!!hole

[Carl Cashman]

Meh, harvyn has a better gaff and collection and he didn't need to be a drug cheat to earn it 🤣

[churchwood]

I never liked him - then I read this - for anyone with an interest in the amount of work that goes into cheating in pro cycling it's chilling

[Lroy]

I know annnymous that have better collection than him, full of Banksy canvas or Invader unic artworks ( I only quote streetarteverywhere artworks ) in the living, in the kitchen, stairs, corridor etc ...
they even don’t know that sometimes they should watch their kids when they share pics of a teen surprise party ahahah.
Just saying, in our world where richs become richer and poor, sometimes homeless, we don’t need to be famous to own art and to be full of money ...
Anyway, for them, Art is just an option.

[John The Badgers]

The film The Program on this fella worth a watch, takes a bit to get your head round the level of deceit, and cheating this fella did. Not somebody I have any time for.

Is it good ? My Dad keeps trying to lend it to me to watch on DVD but I just haven't got around to it yet

[Graham H]

What an ego maniac Lance Armstrong is...only Lance would hang an Ed Ruscha "Safe and Effective Medication" piece on his wall.(8.12)
#noshame ... he should be rotting in jail.

These are both fabulous books on Armstrong, his practices and his eventual downfall...

Would recommend certainly Churchwood, very factual, and a real insight into what went on.

No, it is not a Rothko.

He may have a nice collection but the overall decoration is very meh. And lets not forget what a cheat and lier he is....

Apologies churchwood - I see you'd recommended the Tyler Hamilton book.

Nice catch. That is so funny

[irl1]

This one is a great watch. You might find it on the R.T.E player. 

I watched it when it was first shown, you will be stunned to see what Lance got away with.....


Rough Rider is a documentary film, first shown on RTÉ television on 28 July 2014. Filmed over two years, it is set against the fall of Lance Armstrong for doping offences in 2012 and follows the Irish journalist and former professional cyclist Paul Kimmage during the 2013 Tour de France, where he questions what is being done to free professional cycling from doping since the release in 1990 of his book Rough Ride. The film is directed by Adrian McCarthy.

I’ve recently finished reading the second one.. whilst ok, I thought it probably could have been written better in half the pages.. and whilst I appreciate the authors mission, I did find it a bit me, me, me.

Just an honesty review how I found it

It's a long time since I read it, Graham H.  I wouldn't disagree.  It's certainly a more forensic history of Walsh's crusade.  

[iamzero]

There are many athletes doing what he did to some extent. He just got caught.

Going to disagree with you here, mate.  Armstrong was almost unique both in the scale of the operation that he almost single handedly created and ran and also by how he viciously protected his lie by bullying and threatening. He ruined lives, careers and friendships to prevent what was common knowledge inside the peloton becoming public.  

[iamzero]

Maybe I speak to the wrong kind of athletes then. I do remember a conversation with someone once about how they were having highly oxygenated blood that they had taken out while in altitude training put back in before racing.
