BANKSY | MEDITERRANEAN SEA VIEW 2017, by drip on Jul 14, 2020 20:40:06 GMT 1, That's got a long write-up. I've been looking for a new book on Banksy.
I reckon it'll easily do over 2 million. 2.5 at least. And a bargain at that. Banksy's very hot right now. Plus, the proceeds are going towards a good cause, and people always get a bit more spendy for charity.

I will be interested to see the sale price given its grim and unsettling subject matter. If it helps in some small way, the life jackets in the paintings are empty, so can be thought of as used life jackets that were discarded on the beaches after the wearers got safely ashore. Also, the eventual buyer will have the knowledge that their purchase resulted in a lot of good for those in need at BASR hospital. And I think whether it's in a museum, hallway or penthouse setting, it draws attention to a very real humanitarian tragedy and, as long as its viewed and treated with the sensibility required, it's a valid, even if upsetting, piece of art.
A bit like Guernica or something, I suppose.

A combination of furthering his career, maximising the hammer price , helping a worthy cause and giving the public something relevant and well executed for all to enjoy simultaneously is utterly genius and sets the artist apart from anyone else in my view. This team of artist, studio, management and auction house support is textbook perfect and will be viewed as such in retrospect when art history books review such things.

BANKSY | MEDITERRANEAN SEA VIEW 2017, by Big Bad Mo on Jul 24, 2020 15:48:35 GMT 1, The fireplace was one of my favourite pieces/settings at the Walled Off. In many ways I hated them as they were so depressing. l really felt annoyed and guilty for liking them, especially when u understand what itโs depicting. I found the image and setting particularly haunting and loved it for that. I suppose it made me question multiple things, I immediately understood it, liked it and hated myself for liking it and wanting to own it, considering what it depicts. After that I had no doubt of Banksyโs genius. ButI donโt think I could ever hang it on my wall, for me the image is brilliant but too savage, affordability aside.

Absolutely Fuzzy, when banksy and team get it right they really do get it right (whilst I think itโs fair to say GDP and itโs related sales ... not so much). This triptych is stunning, banksyโs crude oils have always been amongst my favourite pieces of his, but this takes their style and โgrows upโ ... particularly when you learn many of the life jackets donโt work ...
