I think some of the auction houses would be interested in such a unique piece. Maybe try Andipa, they'll take anything Banksy.

The problem I see is obtaining provenance from Laz, without it you'll only get a fraction of it's true worth. Laz has been known to buy back older Banksy items and even help sell them for people, you may be in luck.

I don't think in this case Provenance is an issue. We all know that Banksy dun it. It's a complete one off after all. It's with a stencilled canvas or street piece that provenance is essential, as they're so easy to fake.

Still for sale...!

I'd contact Hirst and ask between 400k and 600k for it, if that fails it would look dope in the Tate modern.

I went on this at Glastonbury!
I screamed A LOT!
It's worth getting just for the ride! (well maybe not for 600k!)

almost worth cutting it up into more manageable, livingroom sized peices.

Hi I found this on Flickr. It's from Glastonbury. Does anyone know anything about it? It looks like something done quite a few years ago as it looks like some of the walls from Bristol.







And here's a link to their web:

My fault for not giving credit to the photographer and getting the name wrong. The name of the swing is "Mystic swing" and the photographer is "i y e r s"

I really like this bit of a change from the stencilled images that we are all too familiar with nowadays. There is even a T.V in the background of this, similar to the t.v. that is being thrown out of the window on another one of Banksy's pieces. Nice, not too polished, colourful and great expression on the chimp !

Just found this video on YouTube of the Banksy painted Mystic Swing!
I guess that frontage was eventually sold? I wonder where it ended up?
