New Banksy in Taibach, Port Talbot., by Rouen Cathedral on Dec 23, 2018 16:38:01 GMT 1, Yikes. That's 100% going to be cut out of the wall.
You'd think banksy could come up with a way to still make art and let it live without the cycle of money grabbing it's become.

New Banksy in Taibach, Port Talbot., by aki on Dec 23, 2018 16:59:13 GMT 1, I’ve been there today, they were measuring the fire side and getting a temporary cover for it. Word on the street was Micheal sheens buying it to put on display. They were talking about reinforcing the wall from inside the garage so it can be cut out.
A pissed up bloke try to pull the covering off last night but got chased away by security.
Don’t think it’s going to be there much longer.

Agreed cover looks terrible, but they’re getting something proper soon apparently.

New Banksy in Taibach, Port Talbot., by moron on Dec 31, 2018 0:30:13 GMT 1, I do not understand the idea of removing this. It seems so much of this work is given by its location & context. This is true for most street art, of course, but especially here, it seems. Maybe it'd make sense to a buyer in Beijing. That piece belongs there. No doubt. The video says it all. That's why it's brilliant. Putting it in a penthouse in Sjanghai makes no sense. But that's the downside of fame and Banksy value. If some local artist had made it, it would have been equally brilliant. And none of us would have ever heard about it. And it would be there for decades without a single tag on it. Now the message reaches the world. Every disadvantage has it's advantage.....
Banksy could have painted it on Michael Sheens house in Port Talbot. He doesn't need the money. Oh he doesn't live there, nevermind.
Port Talbort and the steel works covering houses and cars in soot and who knows what else is ignored because all people are interested in is the Banksy.

Very true but Banksy is more a financial investment these days and how many people if they found that painted on their shed wall would turn down an offer of one or two hundred K ?

Easy to paint a copy on the shed wall when it's rebuilt after some rich dealer carts it away.

That's life changing cash for most of us.
Kinda sad at the same time. But can't blame a guy for improving his life.
And Banksy made his point there. And he surely knows what will happen with it.

New Banksy in Taibach, Port Talbot., by churchwood on Jan 14, 2019 13:12:27 GMT 1, Was biking in the area on Saturday so seemed rude not to drop in and have a look - fair to say that the protection over it is truly horrible - I understand the need to protect it (and there is obviously a cost behind the security portacabin and people that are there) but surely some of the money spend on the security staff would be better spent protecting it in way that doesn't spoil the work - staggering number of people there too

New Banksy in Taibach, Port Talbot., by Graham H on Jan 18, 2019 12:23:26 GMT 1, All that schmooze about it being great the guy took a lower amount because it was staying in the town.. then in the same breath Brandler says will be there for 2 - 3 years.. He is an art dealer.. he hasnt bought it for the good of the town.. short term that may be the image he wants to portray.. but come on.. really?
Its his money to do what he wants, but just dont see the reason to try to be a hero!!

Don't expect some rich t**t to think that way but is there anything on the piece that indicated it was symbolic of his explanation?
