Banksy's at Estate Agents?, by Daniel Silk on Jan 31, 2009 11:35:20 GMT 1, property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/article5610896.ece
Part of the story -
"Banksy, the once controversial graffiti artist, has now become so Establishment that an exhibition of his works in an estate agent's office no longer raises an eyebrow. It does, however, indicate that estate agencies might just have stopped blaming the media for their woes and started finding innovative ways to market their product, something that the recession requires of every trade.
This week Mona Lisa, below, and some other Banksy pieces went on show in the flagship Sloane Avenue branch of Chesterton Humberts. Robert Bartlett, Chesterton Humberts' CEO - one agent who has never held headlines responsible for the downturn in property prices - says the Banksy venture is a celebration of London's artistic life, one reason why foreigners still aspire to buy here."
