Banksy Rat Sculp, by Montubu7 on Jul 20, 2007 1:17:29 GMT 1, Nice comments
can see why there are so many punters anxiously awaiting authentication of their 'Banksies'. Owing to the fact that there is little artistic merit to Banksy's objet d'aft (one-look art for the eBay aesthetes), then some financial justification must be made for the purchase instead. If chavs collected art, it would be the likes of Banksy they'd gravitate towards, (him and that IKEA portrait of 'Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's' that you mention).

Banksy Rat Sculp, by poofly on Jul 20, 2007 10:29:10 GMT 1, Considering the ballerina sculpture went for 72k (I think) with an estimate of 15k, I can see this one nearing the 100k mark.
We all know banksy's 2d work but when something like this comes up its gotta be popular.
Plus all the connatations of this being banksys trademark figure yadda yada yada. big bucks. brad pitt etc etc.
you get the idea.....
