Difficult to tell what's parody and what's real these days. Could have been a Black Mirror sketch.

Indeed.
I'm confident the advertisement will serve its purpose, for both Sotheby's and Robbie Williams. But it does leave me with a slight feeling of vicarious embarrassment.
As did Justin Bieber's Girl with Balloon tattoo.
Nice Charlie Brooker* reference, by the way.

"Time for somebody else to enjoy them."
Yeah. Well convincing.
"Time for me to cash in" more like.

However, after watching the video I'm now on my way to hospital to have my buttocks surgically unclenched.

Robbie Williams Banksy Auction, by JFCC on Feb 24, 2022 11:48:25 GMT 1, My sentiments entirely, he has owned the pieces for at least 15 years and I don't blame him wanting a change or cashing in. And, well done him and everyone else for that matter, for buying back then!!!
As to the video, whilst it will "offend" most of the hardened cynics here due to its slightly saccharine scripting and presentation but it will almost certainly promote the sale very well.
RW, love him or hate him, was and still is, a massively popular public figure and his appeal to those of a certain "age" and importantly now with sufficient wealth, will undoubtedly add a a good few ยฃk's to the hammer price!! I personally would expect these to absolutely fly!
As an additional benefit in my opinion it will also have a knock on to the more general print market.
Just my views!

The shredded one wasn't painted in 2006. Everyone knows that. Banksy even posted a video explaining what he did after the stunt.
Is there something hard to understand?

I have no idea where that's from. But Banksy posted a video of himself making it, so clearly wrong.

It's wikipedia. It's well documented that it was sold as painted in 2006 - there's like a million articles about when it was allegedly painted.

That it's the reason why he's selling it.
Got a pretty shitty one compared to the other "2006 girl with balloon", didn't he ?

It makes no difference to anyone at all and just ruins perfectly good threads!! Very sad!

"allegedly" is right.
But after revealed not to be.
Lazy journalists repeating the same thing on the internet shouldn't be trusted.

Wikipedia should really never be quoted as fact.literally anyone can edit nearly any page and โimproveโ articles instantly. You can have saying Banksy is actually Rick Astley in no time until someone edits it again.

Absolutely nothing to do with the huge increase in price then? Evidence for the above please.

Such a special and beautiful painting, the display was very good as well.
My two kids watched the video while I was browsing the exhibition when my little one came to me and said that a man told her that this was his grandparents painting.
So she asked me if we go find the man again as she wanted to tell him how much she liked it. So we did that, had a little chat with the most charming couple and we all hoped that it doesnt disappear into a storage facility.
