Just had a look at the Banksy site, its been updated. www.banksy.co.uk Banksy has changed his 'Tag' upfront.  The intro page is incredible. Bloody cracker image.  Also the 'Media' (I thought it was called 'First Aid') has been added/changed in the indoor section, which means to me it might be a print in the making... Great color scheme to, its on a olive green background. For me this is my favorite Banksy image.  There's a few new hi-res images in the shop. One I'm happy to see of 'Stop & Search' www.banksy.co.uk/shop/images/shop%20large/stopandsearch.jpg For me this sketch explains why Banksy in his LA show featured an elephant painted to look like it was apart of the furniture. Plus a heap more. Enjoy. ;D |

Yes May is the time to Buy!!
Always a really soft market in May as most people cash up for travel in europe/US, I remember last year Banksy prices fell away quite a bit in May and June. Im really keen (still) to get my hands on a "colour trolleys" around the A$4.5K mark. If anything pops up let me know!!

Too funny:)
Banksy 'Pants' - spray paint and emulsion on board - 1200mm x 845mm
Unique - signed on front in pen
this piece comes with a certificate of authentication from Pest Control Office
Banksy generally signs his work on the back, but he has signed this painting on the front. He has donated his painting to raise funds for destitute asylum seekers through this online charity auction.
Banksy says: "I think it’s the duty of any civilised country to provide refugees with the basics of human survival. Just because I personally only change my pants once every six weeks doesn't mean every asylum seeker should have to do the same."

blog.vandalog.com/2009/05/whole-in-the-wall/Looks like New York’s first must-see show of the year has been announced. All new work from Banksy and other old school graf writers. Masters from the 1970s NYC graf movement (Blade, Crash, Daze, Jonone, Quik, Lee Quinones, Rammellzee, Sharp) and European art stars (Victor Ash, Banksy, Blek le Rat, Ikon, Sozyone, Plateus) are among 19 painters, sculptors and photographers who’ve been working non-stop the last six months on new pieces for “Whole In The Wall: 1970 – Now”. It’s an unprecedented, museum-quality, 150-piece exploration of street art’s ongoing transition to, yes, fine art. It’s not just the scale of the show that’s important. It’s presented in a lavish style only Europeans could pull off — with 17th Century antiques. This juxtaposition of authentic Luis XVI/XV furniture and crystal chandeliers in a two-story, 25,000-sf space on Manhattan’s industrial West Side puts the artists and their work in a setting Paris gallerists Chantal and Brigitte Helenbeck (Helenbeck Gallery) believe is simply . . . approprié. The fun-loving, art-loving sisters — identical twins no less — staged a similar show in Paris in November, in which ALL pieces sold, explaining why their artists have been so hard at work). Well aware that NYC street artists command more major museum shows and higher prices in Europe galleries, the Helenbeck’s hope their dramatic presentation will inspire an elevated view of the genre in the city where it was born. Legendary NYC graf photographers Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant will also feature works, including a new, 40-foot Cooper mural. This show also marks the 25th anniversary re-release of Cooper and Chalfant’s groundbreaking photo book of NYC transit masterpieces, “Subway Art.” (Be on the look-out for updates, including previews of new works and video interviews, including exclusive clips with Cooper, Chalfant and other artists from this show.) Friday, May 29 to Saturday, June 27 Open 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesdays through Saturdays 529-535 W. 35th St. @ 11th Ave. (former Splashlight Studio)
