Banksy Exhibition - Whos Going TODAY?, by atomone on Oct 26, 2009 20:16:24 GMT 1, I've got an invite for tomorrow night but still debating whether it will be worth it? If someone can let me know if it is I'd be very grateful!

Banksy Exhibition - Whos Going TODAY?, by robinbanks on Oct 28, 2009 10:35:08 GMT 1, Did anyone else go to this last night?
I've woken up with a reet hangover!
Good night all in all - I didn't take any pictures unfortunately but I can tell you there was some very cool stuff there. Not sure if any of the originals came with PC authentication (which would worry me if I was parting with upwards of ยฃ200k). The highlight for me was the "caution no swimming sign" with the crocodile from Hyde Park, but there was also a good selection of prints of which happy choppers seemed to be getting the most amount of attention.
The highlight of the night for wor lass was getting to meet fellow geordies ant and dec, who will now probably be added to the list of Banksy's celebrity admirers, along with Brangelina and co.

Thought there might be a few comments like this. At the end of the day tho Banksy is an artist who produces great works of art - so its hardly surprising that there's gonna be the odd exhibition here and there selling his now v expensive art to people who can afford to buy it.

Banksy Exhibition - Whos Going TODAY?, by atomone on Oct 28, 2009 23:56:22 GMT 1, Have to say it was a top night! Brilliantly organised exhibition in a nice venue. Was great to see some pieces that I have only ever seen on websites! A lot of the work was overpriced (15k for Queen Vic). The Kate Moss set was stunning, all were number 20 of 20 Artist Proofs at a whopping 80k each, there were 2 huge doors with the laugh now monkeys painted on them at 200k each! Bomb Hugger on wood was 95k, others included Pooh Bear canvas, Heavy Weaponry canvas, CND soldiers, Grin Reaper, Nola (pink rain), Bomb Middle England, Jack & Jill, Happy Choppers, CCTV Scorpions canvas, Grafitti Area on denim, a set of 3 pink canvas's with coppers with binoculars, Mona Lisa and Laugh now monkeys, the crocodile sign was something I had never seen before! Loadsa celebs there, saw Ant and Dec too (who apparently bought a piece each)
Nick Walker originals were on the next floor down and had original Hollywood Canvas and other nice pieces etc...I did take a few shots of the Banksy bits on my iphone but I have never posted pics before so don't hold your breath if you wanna see them! Some of the works that were on display are obviously available to view on heliumfoundation.com

Banksy Exhibition - Whos Going TODAY?, by robinbanks on Oct 29, 2009 10:39:24 GMT 1, How much was the 'Happy Chopper' print?
Think it was about ยฃ15-17k.
Wasn't mint tho - had a few creases one about 1.5".
