Original Banksy Canvasses Sell for $60 Each

[@icecubeishere17]

Everybody on here is missing the point. Banksy did this to prove a point that without the art world hyping up an artist and rich people bidding up the price, people don't know how to recognize art, or think for themselves at all for that matter. Without the bullshit "recognition" that the media and the art world provides in general, people are not able to distinguish good art from bad art. Banksy knew that this would happen, and that was the whole point of this exhibit. This whole facade selling art was an artwork in itself because is completely illuminates that most people don't think for themselves anymore, they value things almost exclusively based on the respect that other people give them; not on their own opinions.

[@rorob24]

Amen!

[@gonetowin]

Doran, it is a sad what the media has done to the art world. I for one can testify first hand to that. As an artist I know it’s who handles your work and where it’s hanging. Banksy knew exactly how this experiment would turn out. Three cheers to Banksy for proving the point!

Ragsy x the NZ women eventually sold hers in the U.K. due to issues around security measures in order to get insurance. So although she loved them she didn't want to spend her life stressing about owning them. The sale fetched around NZ$200K so just over US$100k about a year or two ago. Based on that he'd possibly get US $200k for them.

That’s not the point. Those people that bought the art now have something worth a lot more!!

[@Stoatfacelanust]

@@sandraunterthiner9763 Leo is making the EXACT point. The point being most people did not buy anything assuming they were fake. Only those who enjoy the art regardless of its "worth" bought it, and bought it purely because they like it. No art critics or "art investors", but fans.... It shows that most people who claim to love Banksy are just jumping on the bandwagon because it's in-vogue, they don't really care that much for the content.

[@rockets4kids]

@@Stoatfacelanust It's now seven years later. It would be interesting to find out what happened to the paintings that were sold here. Did the people realize what they purchased? Did they hold on to the paintings? Did they try to sell them when they realized they might be able to make a hefty profit? Did Bansky (or the art world) ever acknowledge them as legit? If they sold, what did they sell for? Inquiring minds want to know! (Not that it matters, of course. Banksy clearly made his point here.)

[@Stoatfacelanust]

@@rockets4kids Yeah, I completely agree. You'd have to think the buyers would have found out that they bought originals. Banksy offers a verification service, so they would have been able to get a certification of authenticity. Personal, I'd like to think the owners are completely unaware they have a real Banksy and that they have a few hundred thousand dollars (at least) hanging on the wall.

I am so happy for the people that bought his pieces. They bought his work for the love of the art and for this they were rewarded. I wonder if they managed to talk to any of the people that purchased his art, after finding out who the artist was.

[@Afemi973]

For those who are interested on what happened next a news article here in NZ stated the NZ woman went on gut instinct believing they were genuine Banksy works after asking the vendor and being told 'yup', and a few other clues. She also claims to have talked the man from Chicago into buying as well (he must have gone to get cash out like she did - hence the time lag). She stated she was flying back to NZ that day after packing up their home in New York following her husband who'd left on an earlier flight and she only had enough American cash left to buy two canvases. Although she loved them, she finally sold them a year or so back because she couldn't get insurance to cover them without extra security measures.

[@carloscastro3178]

The point here for all you followers is that no one cares until it is praised and recognized as "a work of art by the beloved Banksy". Banksy did this as his work of art. Showing how simple the average person can be. How many followers does he have on social media? Mostly young dumb adults who only follow him because he has become the posterboy for street art and they want to show that they're cool.

[@justanotherhappyhumanist8832]

To be fair, I genuinely like Banksy paintings, not for the name, but the style and the messages behind them. I almost bought a print of his once, but I couldn’t really afford it at the time. I also recognise several of the paintings there as famous Banksys. However, in spite of all of this, I probably would have walked by that stall without even looking at them. Why? When you live in a city, life is so fast-paced that you tend not to notice these things - you’re so focused on your phone, and where you’re going, and a million other things, that the rest of the world kind of just goes by in a flash without you noticing it. It’s not just me - this is how most people are who live in big cities. That’s just city life. Notice how all the people who bought paintings were tourists - they had time to spare, and were there to explore and look at the paintings. I bet most of the people walking by - the actual New Yorkers - didn’t stop to look or notice any of the paintings, not just the Banksys. They probably don’t even remember passing by the stall. When you live in a big city, it just becomes so normal to see these kind of stalls all the time, that you start to not even notice them any more - unless you’re there to deliberately look at the paintings. I don’t think people walked past because they didn’t like the art - they probably didn’t even notice it, because they were so focused on all the things going on in their own lives. That’s just how big city (I’m talking about metropolises, not small cities) life is - not just NYC, but all around the world. Visitors from the country often refer to city life as cold and uncaring for that reason, but it’s not - it’s just a different, faster-paced way of living.

I dunno who Banksy is, but the art here looks pretty cool.

Do you can see the Banksy sign for somewhere. I didn’t !!!

I'm eyeing that painting the man in blue bought. Sad that I'm not in that time, place, and year. 😅 From the start when I saw it I felt something, I never even know this old man is banksy and who is banksy after I read comments here. 😱

420 dollars is actually not bad for selling those in a day

So at 2:48 the man takes a piece of paper from the back of that painting, was supposed to be Banksy Phone number.

Fun experiment, but honestly I wouldn’t get those for 60 unless it was to sell them for more
