Banksy Charity "Pants" Painting, by robinbanks on Apr 4, 2009 13:27:48 GMT 1, Really disappointing that this did not raise more cash for the charity, but ยฃ30k cant be sniffed at, and im sure the charity will be very pleased with the extra cash. Quiet surprised that there were only 2 bids for an original 1 off canvas. Someone just got a bargain. Personally I think someone just blew ยฃ30k on a novelty piece of art that will be worth far less in the future. Just my opinion. In my mind quite a controversial charity also, and going by the bids, I cant be the only one that thought so.
c u next tuesday, yeah?

What is controversial about a registered charity?

Banksy Charity "Pants" Painting, by puppyjuppy on Apr 6, 2009 18:16:37 GMT 1, So Banksy decides to donate a work of art to a jewish charity and this is deemed as controversial?
And the fact that there were only two bids - one of ยฃ30,000 and the other of ยฃ30,100 means that people refrained from bidding due to the charity being controversial - right?
Maybe in this economic climate, ยฃ30,000 is still considered to be a massive amount of money - even for a banksy original!
Is it not possible that 30 large may have been the reason why the masses didnt join in the bidding or maybe the fact that the auction started at ยฃ30,000 instead of starting low but with a reserve - that may have made a difference.
But no - it must have been down to the controversy surrounding the charity in question. IMO this sounds like klyde may be a bit taken aback by the nature of the charity and not being able to express his feelings on this without coming out with the garble of deeming it "controversial"
Well done to Banksy for donating his work to any charity - its just a shame that certain individuals have to spread negativity over such a positive cause.
Oh and by the way klyde, if the next time Banksy decides to donate a piece of art to Islamic relief or Christian Aid - would that be deemed as "controversial" in your opinion?

But this would not effect a bidder seriously interested in a Banksy original (unless your a morbidly rancid seriously committed racist), the simple fact is there is a world wide financial crisis, see CREDIT CRUNCH. The buyers that helped hype and boost the Banksy market are broke, losing there jobs etc etc, therefore the market has dipped and prices have lowered.
And please lets get this into perspective ยฃ30K for a smallish stencil, that kind of money will do any charity the world of good. Well done Banksy and well done to the charity and big boo to all you moaning wincers, we share more than we differ my friends.
