  1. Ironic, isn't it?


    Banksy must be so proud of this new chapter in his work. Not only a "public" paint has been removed but also will be sell in an auction...

  2. yeah.. but is it "public" something you paint on a private wall?

    I understand londoner´s anger but what about wall owner´s rights. Anyway.. the owner removed it during the night so he or she must be feeling guilty somehow..
    it may be legal but.. is it ethic?

    I wish Bansky said a word about all this...

  3. Not ironic at all!. People living in the neighbourhood is as posh as museums where ancient art is kept.

    They were given freely the paint, and they can't say anything if the paint is gone.

    Banksy should be the one who can feel upset with the paint removement. But he decided not to paint a canvas.

    So he has played with emotional. Is Banksy something like EMOTIONAL POP?. Instead of playing with popular objects as Warhol, he plays with popular emotions this works produce in uninspiring locations.

    Are this emotions what is really valuable, and the main reason why this paint is so expensive?.
