Banksy GREATEST HITS Show, by silvermyn on May 29, 2018 17:42:02 GMT 1, I was about to post this one myself.
I can't believe how fresh those GWRB canvases were when they were sold!

Banksy GREATEST HITS Show, by NYart on May 29, 2018 20:45:47 GMT 1, They havenโt talked in over ten years, but laz talks about him every day. A little sad if you ask me lol. Understand itโs a good business to be in but if I were him Iโd sell off my inventory and move on with my life. Kind of strange to have your life revolve around someone whoโs no longer apart of your life, almost makes me think of a crazy ex significant other.

He's doing a better job now as a manager than he did when he was actually "hired".
You're out of your mind if you believe this feud is real.

Banksy GREATEST HITS Show, by Art Fan 2011 on May 30, 2018 20:02:23 GMT 1, I can just picture the scene:
"Lazarides recalls how the paintings were made in quick succession. โI remember being stood on Ganton Street when we did [the 2006 exhibition] Santaโs Ghetto. All 25 Girl With Balloons were made within 20 minutes. We just laid the canvases out on the floor, he was doing them, I was flipping them over and numbering them and taking them downstairs and selling them for ยฃ250,โ Lazarides says.
The same paintings can now fetch ยฃ500,000.

Banksy GREATEST HITS Show, by Emile on Jun 6, 2018 6:36:40 GMT 1, So he first puts a giant show across the world (the art of banksy) to showcase these works, knowing full well what that does to the prices of the works, and then claims...
'he says the financial aspect of the show is secondary to โproviding a museum service for all those kids and fans who genuinely want to see his workโ'
Sure, Laz, sure.
I hope the whole thing sells out just so we (he) can move on

So much for up the workers and anarchy

Banksy GREATEST HITS Show, by mojo on Jul 7, 2018 8:16:04 GMT 1, C'mon Laz! the GWB 25 edition Canvas's from Ganton Street were from the 2003 Santa's Ghetto and took a little longer than 20 minutes to create, dry, sign & sell .....for ยฃ500, the signed prints were ยฃ150! The financial aspect of the show is secondary to what exactly? Personally I'm far more interested in the political messages within the artworks and the cultural significance of why the artist created them in the first place. It's a shame that that aspect has been obliterated by their perceived value.

Agree, that's what makes banksy special. They're meant to be seen on the street for free, not on a canvas sold for millions in a gallery.

Would you want a pest control coa off of Laz? He could probably churn out a few canvases himself. Not that he would of course.

Banksy GREATEST HITS Show, by shy on Jul 8, 2018 3:45:37 GMT 1, Laz is benefitting big time off Banksy. It's a HUGE money maker for him. I've travelled to see the current exhibit and it was packed with very very long waiting lines.
He's definitely still doing well off of Banksy regardless of whether they talk or not as Laz claims
