Banksy Hong Kong Exhibition, by julian on Apr 17, 2008 17:54:45 GMT 1, 
BANKSY, the most controversial and hottest graffiti artist in the world, whose works will be in Hong Kong for the first time joining the LOVE ART exhibition on April 23-28, in association with Helium Foundation and Schoeni Art Gallery. His rare and unseen works including stencils on doors, wood panels, canvases and prints will be flown in fresh from the UK and will stay for three weeks after the show. Exhibition opening on April 23 from 6:30pm, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Wanchai.
i wonder will there be a release of banksy's print?

I think the pick of the analysis of Banksys work from that link is:
"Banksy?! Unless he's deliberately getting himself pregnant and then deliberately having a miscarriage all over his work, I'm not buying it."

Banksy Hong Kong Exhibition, by hillview on Apr 23, 2008 17:17:36 GMT 1, opening was tonight, sir.
packed (other artists also featured including haring, hirst, etc..) to the core
was there for only a few minutes as it wasn't worth the crowd (will probably be back again over the weekend when hopefully there wouldnt be as many people)
staggering prices for the banksy prices.. usual signed prints available at HK$160,000 and up (GBP10k and up)... a few other originals but otherwise nothing really that out of the ordinary

Banksy Hong Kong Exhibition, by craigf on Apr 24, 2008 10:11:00 GMT 1, Yep, jetlag took it's toll yesterday after a day travelling in China so I didn't even know what day of the week it was!
I went today and was pretty underwhelmed other than by the prices. I'll post piccies of the canvases / one off's when I am back in the UK tomorrow, but as a heads up (all prices are HK$ so assume an exchange rate of $14 - $15 to 1GBP)
Bird with grenade canvas - 2.8million - sold
A couple of monkeys on doors - 3.4milliong each - one sold
Kates - 3 at 1.2m each - one sold
Heavy Weaponry - didn't check this one
Three signed rats (Gangster, GOWVC and Love) 160,000 each, but none were numbered. They fobbed me off with some crap explanation that they were a series of 5 and had been verified with Banksy (very smelly)
Grim reaper, CND - 240k
Grannies, Sephia Morons and J&J - 220k each
Napalm - 420k
These were all signed and numbered
GWB, LN, Diface TennersFlying Copper - POA
There were a few Hirsts and a hand full of other prints including a set of LOVE's
If you are in HK it's just about worth popping in, but no need to book a flight to see this one ;D

Banksy Hong Kong Exhibition, by gbh on Apr 27, 2008 12:44:58 GMT 1, I actually think it's a good thing even if WE have all seen the prints.
At least they are getting the work out there and on display for a wider audience.
does it always have to be about a "new"piece?
