The Art of Banksy - Toronto , by Daniel Silk on May 31, 2018 3:54:18 GMT 1, www.thestar.com/entertainment/visualarts/2018/05/07/giant-banksy-exhibition-is-coming-to-toronto.html
โJust as the cityโs art connoisseurs prepare to bid adieu to Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors, thereโs a new blockbuster exhibit coming to town that will likely also inspire lineups and a frenzy of selfies.
Making its North American debut, The Art of Banksy opens June 13 for a four-week run at 213 Sterling Road in the cityโs west end. It is an unauthorized exhibition of more than 80 works by the world famous (and anonymous) British street artist, reportedly valued at over $35 million. It has been curated from private collections by Steve Lazarides, Banksyโs former agent, who had a falling out with the artist in 2008. The Art of Banksy has been displayed in Melbourne, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Auckland and, most recently, Berlin.โ

Indeed, if you think Dr Evil is dapper that is. He just needs to close up his jacket.

But yeah, an entry of about 14-15 euros, so probebly a pretty big cash cow.

I've not seen him previously, due to lack of interest, but if he is the guy on right his trousers are too long, need tailoring, and the overall outfit not very flattering. Just my opinion.

The Art of Banksy - Toronto , by jimbofatz on May 31, 2018 14:24:10 GMT 1, Jeez for the amount of cash this is pulling in does anyone want to get together and put on our own touring circus?....Banksy is apparently OK with it -- he could easily stop these shows with "Fair Use/misrepresentation" laws.
Or maybe Laz and Banksy have been working together all this time? (what a shocker that would be)

Setting aside the question why might they want to, how can an artist stop their work being shown if the work is privately owned by the people wanting to show it?

Many copyrighted works state no unauthorized public performance. My guess, and it's just a guess, is any show, especially one that sells ticket, would apply. Any printed promotional material would need to be cleared by the copyright holder as well.
Where does one find this 'copyrighted work statement's?

The Art of Banksy - Toronto , by jimbofatz on May 31, 2018 16:20:22 GMT 1, A misrepresentation of work clause would stop an individual from putting on a show like this instantly.
Once you start profiting from a show you are opening up a lot of situations legally.
However, a big tell with this show is it is being promoted/produced by Live Nation which is a massive concert promoter. This isn't just some "evil" manager putting on a show of his private works. Banksy is on board with this for certain.

Considering that live nation is possibly the most evil and corrupt conglomerate which has monopolized and destroyed local radio, grassroots musical movements, and concert promotion, among other things, I truly hope that banksy isnโt involved at all

This is exactly why it would be considered misrepresentation of the artist/fair use and illegal. Just because you bought an artwork doesn't mean you can do with it what you please. You can't buy a piece and than sell it for use, or tour it through live nation. All of this still requires permissions. He is part of this 100%. Live Nation wouldn't touch this if he wasn't.
Also -- I agree Live Nation is horrible.

The Art of Banksy - Toronto , by lee3 on Jun 1, 2018 1:47:27 GMT 1, It seems like this thread is going off the deep end. On the one hand you have Laz stating that he hasn't spoken to the artist in over a decade. Then you have the artist himself disclaiming on his website for years that he's not affiliated with Laz or any other commercial gallery for that matter. Now we're reading speculation that none of the above can be true and concluding they must be in cohorts due to some all powerful unused legal clause?
Why stop there? We might as well go full stop and speculate the same with vermin/bankrobber who choose to exhibit the concrete skeleton remains of works they've bulldozed from the street. Andipa too as they did that show in Italy last year and Mocco museum/lionel gallery out of Amsterdam. All of this despite the fact that they all state that they are/were sponsoring *unsanctioned* exhibitions.

That is a completely different situation. Banksy willingly put those pieces in the public domain, on property that didnโt belong to him, meant to be freely enjoyed by the public. There are a lot of conflicting legal issues with any ownership rights banksy may claim to have there.
That isnโt the same as privately selling an original work of art, of which he still owns the rights to the image, reproduction, and exhibition for profit. The legal rights with that are pretty cut and dry. And copyright protections for original works of fine art are generally even more stringent than those for films, albums, and music in general
