Banksy - Untitled (F*ck The Police) - Christies NYC 14th May, by Deleted on Apr 26, 2014 3:56:03 GMT 1, While on the subject as I haven't seen it (or possibly overlooked it) in the myriad of "banksy source inspiration photo" threads over the years. This one comes from the Birmingham race riots  And there is a similar image (bottom left above) painted by Warhol in this particular instance as a quad that will command top dollar ($40mm+?) at Christie's in a few weeks:

Banksy - Untitled (F*ck The Police) - Christies NYC 14th May, by Deleted on May 15, 2014 14:25:09 GMT 1, This article is interesting.
"" Enough people believe the hype
Once, if you wanted to sell a major work of art, you'd need an art historian to write a catalogue essay laying out the position of the painting or sculpture relative to what came before, surveying the relevant literature, and making a case for its historical importance.
Today, especially for pieces by younger artists, the value of a work of art inheres primarily in the faith that a few thousand very rich people believe it matters.
Christie's has figured this out, and to that end promoted one of this week's sales via Instagram and with a ludicrous video of a skateboarder blowing past a Richard Prince cowboy and a chorus of art handlers. The video got about 150,000 hits on YouTube, and though it was mercilessly mocked by the art professionals traipsing through Frieze last week, that was enough to convince at least some speculators that the works for sale would hold their value. Financial value, that is; the historical value for much of the work in that so-called "gritty" sale is close to zero."" www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/may/14/christies-sale-art-auction-bubble

Make stencils of stock news and other photos. Copy Warhols images into stencils.
Pay a PR company to wine and dine media journos and bang a couple into some oction ouse and get some cronies to bid up the prices.
