Banksy • Andipa Gallery

[Mrs Mouse]

I was there on Saturday afternoon (1st March) and it was so busy it was really difficult to see anything. You couldn't really stand and look at pictures because the place was so small you had to keep walking in single file and if you stopped the people behind got held up. It was a bit like being on a conveyor belt. Most people seemed to just be happy to walk past with a quick glance. I got in everyones way trying to take pictures. ;D I managed to get down most of the prices, but I think I missed a few as it was just too crowded to get near and read the price.

My daughter spotted a member of Westlife coming in just as we were leaving. (She's not sure which one it was as she's not a big fan of Westlife!) Looks like Banksy's fame has spread as far as the world of the boy band! Shame!

Westlife interested = time to sell

I was in on Saturday afternoon... it was a slow moving trail of people around the inside of the gallery with an occasionally a queue outside.

There was a (about 55 yr old) couple behind us... they were enquiring about the "Paranoid Pictures" as they wanted to buy it.

Went down there on the weekend. Some of the asking prices are insane. But I guess it only raises Banksy's prestige.

Which Happy Choppers was it? The vandalised oil or the edition of 3 canvas from Laz?

Neither,it was a piece of board with the choppers on which someone had thoughtfully graffitied in pencil "name sucks elephants cocks"....sorry could not remember the name used .Nice,250k and all you would look at would be "elephants cocks".........oh and the choppers!!!

[BME]

The CCTV camera road sign was for sale for 300 quid in 2005. An easy 99,700 for someone...

[RBK]

Thanks for clarifying Va Va Voom - not nearly as exciting.

The Vandalised Oil Happy Choppers are awesome.

[arnolfini]

did anyone catch what the signed bombhugger was priced at?

I went to the 3 shows, first Andipa, then Laz, and finally TSLG...

Love that grenade... Well done on doing all three shows in one night.

[bombshelter]

Some great pics sb, you did well getting to all three shows.

[atomone]

Great pics! cheers for those! I remember when a mate of mine found a load of discarded banksy stencils on a rubbish pile at his show in Hackney years ago when he was looking for a toilet! regrettably he left them be!!

[Sherlock Holmes]

Not sure if it's been mentioned already (can't see anything) but looks like it's going to talk about the Andipa Gallery exhibition.

Who are these arsewipes, what a lot of s**te! Total out of touch smug self satisfied farts. Precisely why this sort of art should never grace their walls. f**kwits!

[Cocteau 101]

What a load of crap that was. Some nice pics but cringeworthy discussion.

[Rabbitlegs]

I would give my right arm for that 'Meals On Wheels' (Shark/Goldfish) its a beaut.

[Bram]

yea the kind of t*ts to go out and by £50k's worth on stuff they don't understand. I feel so much better being at the opposite end of these lot

[slowmo]

Can the bloke who said they'll make it work on here make it work please? I missed it

[paul1066]

Its a general Arts program nothing more, they see this art as nothing more as passing momentary amusement! Really can't imagine them with a print on their wall, never mind huh!

[walters]

awfull absolutely awfull fucking comments. embarresing.

[bowser30]

slowmo

there ya go

[pezlow]

That woman was classic - nothing banksy has done isn't something that warhol did 30 years ago. What is the betting that if she had been on a similar programme discussing warhol 30 years she would have been equally dismissive.
