Banksy - Gorilla in Mask Removed and Up for Auction, by Global Art Traders on Oct 21, 2020 15:02:59 GMT 1, Not sure if this has been discussed but just seen it on BBC News website. Another one 'reclaimed' by a company calling themselves 'Exposed Walls'

Banksy - Gorilla in Mask Removed and Up for Auction, by stavi on Oct 21, 2020 15:34:08 GMT 1, It's very easy for a political image to cross the thin line to being called the word "art". Presumably because otherwise it would be called propaganda. Fairey's HOPE posters, for example.
Anyways, my point being, that it is becoming glaringly obvious that we've reached the point where it is very easy for a commodity to cross the thin line into "art".
I think what I want to express might work best as an analogy.
political art:propaganda::commodity art:________
I personally would fill the blank with the word "collectables"
It's all just trading cards/collectables for the wealthy.

What a shoehorn sentence

I donโt buy this story. Or the reporter and/or their source donโt know much about tools. You wouldnโt use an angle grinder to cut out a squareish wall piece unless you have super human strength and grip or enjoy severe injuries.. You use a circular with masonry blade. Duh.
Devil is In the details.
