The last thread on the subject has been removed,boo! Banksy is painting the town in New York,here are some of his work there so far,post your favourites here.

The first one is gone already.

"At least one of the works is gone already, altered by other graffiti artists and then whitewashed. The picture, done on a wall in Chinatown, showed a barefoot boy with a cap standing on another boy's back, pointing at a sign that says, "Graffiti is a crime.""

I love Banksy's work - especially of the two coppers kissing.

Art in a truck

Wow........that's amazing!

Does it strike anyone else as odd that subjects of threads on Gaire often show up a few days later in various Irish newspapers?

Banksy in New York

He’s back. Do you care?

http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/poplife/2013/10/08/banksy-in-new- etc ...

Saw on Sky news today that crowds were basically creating their own pilgrimage/tourist trails following his cryptic twitter feeds
and when a local business owner tried to cover/preserve a door on his own property
which Banksy had defaced/enhanced,the crowd watching started calling him
a "theif" and threatening him.... like on his own property!

He's been rumbled. : http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/battery-blunder-reveal-banksy etc ...

*sits back and waits for inflated prices to tumble*

Wild horses couldn't catch him kneel,he's been outed for years now,Banksy abu.

Big-ticket graffiti artist Banksy says he offered paintings for $60 in Central Park

If you want a bargain, off to NY with you!

He's more than willing to go to NYC and prove to everyone that he's just your average graffiti artist. Classic two fingers up to the art industry. Pop eats itself. Hopefully, investors who bought into the whole Banksy experiment will lose thier bollocks on thier investments.

Sadly though, the irony will be lost and his art will go up

From reading that I get that you don't really like this artist but I can't really understand why?

Actually I love his work, as mentioned in the old thread. I like him more now given this kind of punky attitude to how he is percieved. Malcom McClaren couldn't have done it any better.

So what is the problem?
