'Banksy Collection' by STOT21stCplanB, by rob123rob on Aug 16, 2007 20:34:23 GMT 1, Sometimes art can be just funny, stupid, unnecessary, and the story behind it, around it, makes it worth living outside of the bin. So, yes, I admitted to buying one. By the looks of things they are all going to sell out soon, so I am not the only fool.

'Banksy Collection' by STOT21stCplanB, by rob123rob on Aug 16, 2007 20:39:18 GMT 1, my arguement on this ugly canvas that I bought, yes, is completely one of financial speculation. I surely didn't buy it because it's pretty. And occassionally, once in a millienium, this kind of odds-against speculation turns up ok. And for 35 pounds, why not? Surely won't be the last ugly thing I buy (there's an IKEA just down the block from me).

We all know that a good Banksy canvas sells for a lot of loot, but how much would an authentic bad one sell for? Never going to happen, but still, would be interesting.

If it is real then i will lose all respect for the man - supplying people who buy art solely for financial purposes and helping them to do so !?!?? Many of the artists i admire strive to deter from exactly that.

'Banksy Collection' by STOT21stCplanB, by rob123rob on Aug 16, 2007 21:06:43 GMT 1, I do not buy art soley for financial purposes (thanks for that), but in this case, yes I did. Every Tuesday I'm on TinyShowcase.com buying the prints they sell there, not because any of them ever become worth more than the paper they're on, but because I like them. Most of hte art in my collection is worth nothing to anyone on here but me, and that's just fine. So, just because I admitted to buying a piece for a chance it might be worth something later down the road, dont start pointing fingers. (And PS...Banksy is supplying people who buy art solely for financial purposes and helping them to do so.)

'Banksy Collection' by STOT21stCplanB, by rob123rob on Aug 16, 2007 21:32:40 GMT 1, And hey, maybe Banksy's turned a new leaf: maybe cute little animals are his future. Bunnies, puppies, ducks, etc....I do remember seeing somewhere a large gorilla head on a wall wearing a mask over its eyes....and for no reason. This could signal the end of Banksy's rat years, and could be rining in the years of fluffy happy things......I myself can't wait for the four colourways of each of these new canvases. And maybe there will be unstamped versions for less cash. Can't wait

Either you suck as an artist and nobody cares, or you have something meaningful to say, you do it well (better than anyone else really), and the supply-and-demand system turns you into the object of your own artistic rebellion

'Banksy Collection' by STOT21stCplanB, by fautebol on Aug 17, 2007 16:39:12 GMT 1, I agree with pretty much everything you said rob123rob 
If it is real then i will lose all respect for the man - supplying people who buy art solely for financial purposes and helping them to do so !?!?? Many of the artists i admire strive to deter from exactly that.
I don't agree with you here. First, what is he doing now even if unintentionally?
Then, let's see the LA prints that have been released (Grannies, Applause, Morons) and the prints that have not been released yet on POW? Do you see a difference? I like Trolley hunters. But when you start selling that many prints of something like that for that much money, I'm not sure I lilke the print anymore if you don't know where the money is going. I should maybe not say that on a fans forum, but it stops somehow to be funny and the print itself stops to have much sense to me....But, I believe this is not a problem?
If ever he would put some real s**t down like this, I would gain much respect for...And I would be certainly more ready to spend 500Β£ for a trolley hunters print to put it up on my wall...Because, a print like this does not give me emotions...I like it, I found if amusing...But, it has to still be somehow a bit real...
Now, I like what the aquarium did. I don't care if they make money or not... Will Lazarides try to protect a "trademark"? Will someone say I'm Banksy you cannot use my name? Could anybody do it?
If he would ever flow the market with BANKSY, I would LOVE it...Otherwise, I have no problem, but his sentences against the art market are totally empty to me and thus it's why I cannot understand your point....

Now there is their own story/myth behind the pieces, and some people (maybe not many) will want them because they are a part of the history of this very bizarre time in the world of art.

There is not a single person on this forum who wouldn't buy a legit Banksy canvas for 35 pounds, regardless of how ugly it was.

If they would send emails around that they are actually from Banksy they might as well put it on the website. What did you except them to tell you. Yes those are real but we only tell one person by email.

surprisingly, some people (like me) actually like STOT21 (some of the work anyway).
At worst, it's "different".
if anyone bought one of these thinking it's a Banksy, you are a total mug, especially since they are 35 quid.
I'm quite a lover of the piss take genre/smart work in general.
