How to Sell a Banksy Film Trailer
January 26, 2011 ⋅ Culture ⋅ by Staff ⋅ 51 Views

Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions. But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall? Going up against the art establishments, critics, auction houses, gallery owners and authentication boards in a quest for the elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the murky and protective world of Banksy. How to Sell a Banksy raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day true story.

    Exactly. Why can’t they just leave it on the walls. They just ruin the art, then can’t even make the money in the end. Wankers.

    This is thought provoking and funny at the same time yo. Do you admire these dudes hustle or are they just some fucking idiots? Its also funny how when Banksy wasn’t making any money from his art he was a genius and now that he is eating well from it everyone is all “fuck banksy”, that in and of itself is something I’m sure he’s laughing at and gets amused from it. Me personally, if someone can spread some interesting social commentary, put in years of work doing so and at the end make some good money from it, hey I’m all for it and cheers to him. Those who don’t like it now cause the elite spend $ on it are falling into the haters category or just mad its not them in his seat.
