Could Banksy afford to buy a Banksy print?, by pressman on Apr 6, 2017 18:34:00 GMT 1, Perhaps I'm being naive but how does Banksy actually make any money given that his last print release was nearly a decade ago?
I guess he now has the Walled Off hotel, if he actually owns it(?) but surely he must have other revenue streams which generate decent income. Do you think he auctions off a canvas every now and again when all he can afford to eat are Fray Bentos pies and Vienetta?

He still sells many originals. You often see them at Castle Gallery:

Could Banksy afford to buy a Banksy print?, by Happy Shopper on Apr 6, 2017 18:36:25 GMT 1, They sold prints and originals at Dismaland. Originals from the Bristol Museum show.
Originals will probably be sold from the Hotel.
He also makes a percentage of all auction sales (artist resale rights).

Do you think he auctions off a canvas every now and again when all he can afford to eat are Fray Bentos pies and Vienetta? Millionaire off his originals easily His net worth was estimated back in 2013 by Forbes to be $20mil. I'd guess it's more than double that now easily. Most are just unaware of the inner circle of collectors, celebs, commissions and boutique limited releases. Mind you this is all with exercising mind boggling restraint. IMO if he had fully monetized his position he'd be worth more than Hirst. www.therichest.com/rich-list/world/the-worlds-five-richest-artists/ |

He must have had some serious $$ to buy up all those OG's. Just thinking of the museum show, so many originals and they all went to collectors, these select few collectors must have millions of dollars worth in their own collections. Same applies to after the hotel closes, he will likely sell to collectors - so yes Team Banksy makes a lot of money. |

Couldn't Banksy be secretly Flooding the market behind closed doors? He could do a painting and it's touted by his agent to a select list and no one else knows it exists. Might be churning out those stencils he had on the stall.

This thread is an example of stagnation in the scene. Or the end of the scene - money corrupts - fiddle playing.

Could Banksy afford to buy a Banksy print?, by avec art on Sept 14, 2017 14:48:54 GMT 1, We heard this mantra many years ago, and what we see is changing dynamics, but not a death. Perhaps it's the most vibrant and interesting 'movement' in art since Pop Art, and before someone pipes up I am aware of the YBA's etc, but as with a lot of contemporary art many consider it to be too elitist to really appreciate.

Not sure if I am right on this one but I have always struggled with the distinction between the two as in the past years they seems to have been a cross over with more and more artists moving from the street to the galleries.....Is that right?

Haha yes. I think it could be argued that street art is over. Quite short period in the history of art. Urban art will likely drag for a longer period. Personally I think street art will have the more notable impact on art history

I was never really into the Graffiti scene as my career at the time never brought me into contact with it, It is only through my obsession with Urban art in my latter years have I come to see it's importance and it's beauty, funnily enough I met a guy at the weekend who was a ardent student from the 90's Graff scene, I was shocked at his reaction to the word Banksy!!
