Banksy Hits Out At Street Art Auctions
Julia Reid
Sky News reporter Updated:15:34, Tuesday February 05, 2008
It is billed as the first auction dedicated solely to 'Urban Art' and organisers Bonhams are hoping a celebrity audience will come with their wallets stuffed.
Police Marksmen by Banksy But with works that could fetch up to ยฃ60,000, urban art could not have come further from its gritty street origins.
Banksy, Haring, and newcomer Cyclops all have pieces in the auction but that does not mean they will see a penny of the money raised.
Canny buyers who picked up originals years ago are now reaping the rewards.
Steve Wright, author of 'Banksy's Bristol', told Sky News Online the transition of art from the streets to the auction houses misses the point.
He said: "It's public art and expression.
"It's the most democratic art form there is and I don't think any of the artists would want to make it exclusive and costly."
Brad and Angelina allegedly spent ยฃ200,000 on a Banksy, while Christina Aguilera splashed out ยฃ25,000 for a few prints.
But the spray can crews who started out in the streets of Bristol could never have predicted it would end up like this.
Steve WrightIn the Stokes Croft area of the city, street art continues to flourish and it is not about making money.
Chris Chalkey, chairman of the People's Republic of Stokes Croft, wants to make the whole area an outdoor gallery.
"It might be illegal, but it is expression and this is an amazing cultural centre for everyone," he said.
Along with Banksy, Bristol's graffiti heritage includes 3D, who went on to form Massive Attack, Inkie, and the original stencil artist Nick Walker.
Banksy's WindowHis 'Moona Lisa' is now expected to fetch up to ยฃ5,000 in the sale.
Bonhams' urban art specialist Gareth Williams claims auctioning the art is a logical progression.
"It's accessible and iconic," he says. "People have seen it on the streets and responded to it.
"It's the market that disagrees with it staying on the streets. The art buying public want to own it."
It is unlikely Banksy would agree.
As he writes on his website: "I don't agree with auction houses selling street art - it's undemocratic, it glorifies greed and I never see any of the money."
Some interesting reponses follow the article.
