sorry if this has already been linked but just in case not thought it might be interesting... our man is back in action !! FINALLY!!! ;D

[Aza]

hmmmm

[corblimeylimey]

hmmmm indeed ;D

[babyford]

Image looks great. Saw it tod :)ay and it is behind a glass case with the wording Banksy does Warhol 2007 Spray paint on pavement. If you pm your corblimeylimey email address I will send you a copy - I have not got a Flikr account

[Strange Al]

I'd be very surprised if this stencil has anything to do with Mr B.

[Curley]

mmmmmm its as real as that rat outside Andipa

[babyford]

Its def a Bansky - The Hospitial reception confirmed it

[Strange Al]

What else would they say?

[Curley]

obviously they would know what he looks like....

[carlito]

...why would Banksy do a piece outside a gallery not selling pieces on his behalf?....I seem to remember a similar stunt at andipa a while back....

[adrscib]

marketing maybe? getting in the news? being talked about?

[carlito]

like banksy needs marketing anymore - he's freaking massive - and why market a show he's got no direct connection to?

yep, the phantom marketeer strikes again.. wanna get yer shitty 2 bit show in the news.. ooo, get Banksy to hit it up.. stupid lazy journo's !

[carlito]

I'd have thought if Banksy was going to hit this show it would be in totally derogatory manner not in an effort to bring people in...

[Curley]

The exhibition is in every paper there is in London.
His name is everywhere already
Why would he need to pull acheap stunt like that ?

yes its marketing but not by Banksy.

my thoughts exactly

[adrscib]

i believe he is involved in this show... remember most of the world knows warhol but only britain and LA know banksy... this is simply revisiting Warhol vs Basquait.... where JMB really took off to new heights in his career.... same will happen with banksy... so i expect a lot of new, and renewed demand for his art....

i think everything is being perfectly timed... they will realease prints below cost once again to gain the sympathy of new collectors .... i am 99% sure this will happen...

just as the timing of the relase of morons print to coincide with the interest generated from the sothebys auction...

the guys (banksy and laz) are clever marketing geniuses.

LOL, is there oxygen on your planet ?

[ricosg11]

NOT EVEN A GOOD STENCIL

[carlito]

ads I'd see the show before saying he's involved in it...

[corblimeylimey]

These are the photographs babyford has emailed me

[babyford]

Sorry the pic was not great - The brick wall was relecting off the glass frame. It is on the pavement floor on the left hand side when you queue to get in. The reception were 100 percent sure it was planned as part of the show

When did anyone sell prints below cost?

When did you take adrian seriously

[babyford]

I was a little disapointed with the show only 20 Banksy pieces on display , Some of the classics were missing. I bet if we all got together we could put on a better show. Imagine every possible banksy under one roof - The great man may even visit

[graeme501]

this forum could pull off a cracking show, imagen all the originals from all the artists talked about on here that are owned by forum members

You'd have to forget the free beer though. FPR and Curley would cost you more than half a dozen Neates.

[babyford]

Imagine the fight for wall space ;D

[goffy]

At least a Forum gallery show wouldn't just be in London, it have to be around the country for all members to see. And CBL could provide photos for our American cousins.
