Exclusive Banksy Exhibition, UK – Original Stencil Art Sold- Sneak Look October 2009…
I was a lucky lad on Monday (big shout to James W for sorting it!) and got the chance to go to a private Banksy exhibition and sale in London at a members-only club deeeeeeeep in the ground.
We weren’t allowed to take photos so apologies for the poor quality of the pics, but it ain’t easy to be subtle with a bloody huge camera phone so I did my best to shoot what I could!
It was great to see the art in the flesh instead of just prints, and there were a couple there I’ve never seen pics of before so that was pretty cool. I’d say it was about as far away from the ethos of graffiti art as it could possibly be, big money and plush surroundings…
As an added bonus there was art from Nick Walker, a friend of Banksy’s I believe. He is known for the men in suits and bowler hats, here is a Nick Walker ‘Vandal’ piece from New York. I actually prefer him to Banksy, bit more colour and less in your face political commenting.
But anyway, here are the pics, I took a note of some of the prices of the originals too in case you’ve ever wondered how much an original Banksy can cost….
5 Banksy Rats - £35,000 ($50,000)
Banksy Grim Reaper Original Print - Stencil Art - This was one of the few prints at the exhibition £11,000 ($17,000)
Banksy Kate Moss Print, one of 20 - about £15,000 ($25,000)
Original Banksy Art - Mona Lisa - Said price was POA, so it's got to be pretty expensive
Original Banksy Stencil Art - Devon Police - Another one priced at 'POA'
