"Europe's wealthy, hit by the crises in Greece and Spain, are increasingly turning to pawnbrokers for credit. Borro.com, an online pawnbroker, has recently lent more than ยฃ2m to Europeans, says chief executive, Paul Aitken. "We've issued loans against 20th-century art, contemporary art and sculpture, early European sculpture and Old Masters." The company, he says, has advanced loans for, among others, works ranging from Henry Moore to Banksy."

Banksy's works pawned, by Warm Gun on May 31, 2010 17:52:17 GMT 1, Unfortunately money effects almost every aspect of every discipline especially art and culture. Folk pawning their own art in order to survive just highlights the disposable nature of the whole scene.

Some of the people pawning their art could well be members here. Its the real world, art has value and it appears due to money problems some people are being forced to sell or pawn their collection 
I would imagine they don't like doing it  but its a sign of the times, so why hide from it.

Dont think it would be any of us, we are far too busy scamming each other to bother with pawning.
