Banksy - Who Does He Collect, by Cocteau 101 on Sept 24, 2008 23:05:04 GMT 1, We all know we collect a diverse collection of artists on here, not just street, urban etc.
But who does Banksy collect, what is he into apart from his art.
There is a close knit community on here that know the guy, let's have an insight into his collecting habits if he has any.
No pisstaking - a serious thread.

Banksy - Who Does He Collect, by top on Sept 24, 2008 23:30:13 GMT 1, Nice thread. Have no idea cocteau  ;D
I wonder whether its mostly political? ..surely he must also have a very varied collection also?
Wonder also, whether the artists he has bought from actually know - not that that matters one jot
Bet he cant hang'em all!!

Banksy - Who Does He Collect, by funster on Sept 24, 2008 23:39:43 GMT 1, I would imagine he has a diverse and intelligent collection, not solely based around one artist or genre. For a while I've thought Mr B is a bright cookie and as such wouldn't be surprised if there was a certain amount of investment element, such as Hirst's Bacons.

Banksy - Who Does He Collect, by snausages on Sept 25, 2008 3:38:11 GMT 1, If I had to bet I'd say Banksy doesn't collect at all other than gifts he gets from other artists.
But if I were Banksy....
I'd be bidding on this.
