Leo DiCaprio's Banksy sells for over €1 million, by Daniel Silk on May 26, 2015 11:10:12 GMT 1, observer.com/2015/05/koons-and-dicaprios-banksy-sell-for-charity/
"As reported in Reuters, the evening was highlighted by the sale of an 18-and-a-half foot Jeff Koons piece titled Coloring Book, which Simon de Pury hammered at €12 million–a relatively fair price. Other highlights included Eva Longoria purchasing a Warhol painting of Elizabeth Taylor (amFAR’s founding International Chairperson) for $600,000, Frances McDormand auctioning off a Calder for $600,000, and Leo DiCaprio’s donated Banksy shooting past the €1 million mark. A Botero sculpture and a Picasso drawing also performed admirably."

Looks to be one of those pieces done on cardboard or maybe hardboard.
I think they had ones like that hung from the roof at the Banksy Turf War Show?

ahhh those had wings. Look to be on a very similar scale though - perhaps Leo wasn't quite 'up-there' when he got his so didn't qualify for the winged model DiCaprio's looks like cardboard to me it seems like theres a folding crease across the waist and bottom of gun [HASH]banksy [HASH]dicaprio |

Leo DiCaprio's Banksy sells for over €1 million, by Harveyn on May 26, 2015 17:40:11 GMT 1, As well as finding this truly astounding I am delighted to see this genre edge its way slowly but surely into the mainstream art public domain. Its not the commercial element that I refer to though I would argue that it might be a necessary part of sustainability. Its about interacting with people on a daily basis by having them exposed to graffiti/street art. Opening peoples closed eyes to its very existence. In a consumer based society you have to grab peoples attention by whatever means.
How many people walk past street art everyday without even noticing it?
I know this does not sit well with the anti establishment ethos of graffiti / street art but for me its equally about connecting with a wider audience on a daily basis with respect to not just the message but art in general. Acceptance and credibility allows it to enrich peoples lives from a simple smile created by a casual flirtation with a beautiful image (OS Gemeos) to driving home a thought provoking message (Blu).
