Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by Daniel Silk on Jan 16, 2006 17:37:31 GMT 1, The Sun-
Rob's religious art spree
ROBBIE Williams has paid a graffiti artist £30,000 for a controversial painting of the Nativity scene.
It shows Mary and Joseph blocked from getting to Bethlehem by a graffiti wall — mimicking the Israeli barrier round the Palestinian territories.
Robbie spotted the painting by art hoaxer Banksy in a London gallery and bought it for his Chelsea home.
Other stars who snapped up 30-year-old Banksy’s work include Jamie Oliver and Damon Albarn.
Earlier this year he sneaked a picture of a caveman with a shopping trolley into the British Museum.

Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by Daniel Silk on Jan 20, 2006 13:23:42 GMT 1, I didnt get the chance to go to the ghetto this year 
I think 30k could be a bargain! the way that prices are going I could see that picture being worth over 100k in a few years.
Was the picture priced up at 30k do you know?

Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by headphonesex on Jan 20, 2006 16:02:28 GMT 1, I asked about it at the shop, and they said it cost 30 grand.
I was a bit short of change unfortunately so missed out that time!
,-)
When I went to crude oils I asked if any were still on sale - they said only the enormous Hopper pastiche at the back. Which was £50,000 if I remember rightly. Which is still probably a good bargain if you happen to have £50,000 knocking about to spend. As opposed to £50.

Added by Admin - Interesting  Does anyone know if thats correct?

Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by slowmo on Jan 14, 2007 10:14:19 GMT 1, ? Bethlehem was on sale at Santa's Ghetto last eyar, 2005. It was for about £3-4k odd if I remember right, money going to palestinian charities. I weighed up buying it with my credit card, then realised I would have nowhere to put it and that it was an awful lot of money. Not even gonna bother with the hindsight remark
I guess people are mixing it up with the vandalised Tom Ormond?

Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by headphonesex on Jan 14, 2007 13:54:37 GMT 1, read the thread slowmo... the bethlehem picture cost £30,000
Even way back in christmas 2005 you weren't going to pick up a Banksy canvas like that for 3 grand.
The 'Flower Thrower' canvases were £7,500 for comparison.... and they were a stenciled edition of 25.

Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by headphonesex on Jan 14, 2007 16:42:54 GMT 1, I asked at SG how much it was... they told me £30,000.
It was then reported in the papers as being sold for £30,000.
If you think you know better, than so be it. But you're wrong. If he was doing it for charity, why sell it for £25k less than it was worth?

Robbie Williams to auction off three Banksy originals, by Everyone Owes on Jan 20, 2022 14:39:47 GMT 1,
Girl with Balloon made its debut under Waterloo Bridge in London in 2002. In 2018, a canvas version of the image passed through a shredder inserted into its frame moments after it sold for just over £1m. The work’s “self-destruction” was a global sensation. Williams’s version from 2006 is depicted on metal, and is the first of its kind to appear at auction. It has a price estimate of £2m to £3m.
Kissing Coppers, which depicts two male British police officers in a passionate embrace, first appeared on the outside wall of the Prince Albert pub in Brighton in 2004. The original mural was removed in 2014 after being repeatedly vandalised. Williams’s version of the artwork is a painting on canvas from 2005, estimated to be worth £2.5m to £3.5m.
Vandalised Oils (Choppers), from 2005, features two military helicopters disrupting a serene pastoral landscape. It is part of a Banksy series that superimposes graffiti on classical oil paintings, and has an estimate of £2.5m to £3.5m.

hes a member on here and has read many of the learned members saying the market is tanking so he’s bailing whilst he can still turn a bit of a profit.

The three pieces he is selling would fit in the boot of an average car yet are probably worth more than his mansion
