Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by Deleted on Jun 17, 2009 9:15:12 GMT 1, I booked the Washington Hotel, just found out you can probably walk from there to the exhibition.. (checked google maps: a 6 min. walk!)
paid 120 gbp for two nights in a twin room for me and a friend.. so 30 gbp per night seems fair to me.. even traditional English breakfast is included but I think I might skip that..

Lots was for sale.
Prices started at 2.5k and went up to 500k (for the Hirst/ Banksy). From what I understand alot of it sold. I guess people do not want to talk about there purchases in public. Can you blame them?

maybe the people that were invited to buy were asked to keep it under the hat. and maybe they kept it under the hat.. something with trust? although it's a bit weird yes.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by Jef Aerosol on Jun 17, 2009 13:58:04 GMT 1,  ignoring its brilliance for a second does the execution of this seem weird to anyone else? if id have randomly seen it on flickr or something i wouldnt have placed it as banksy (apart from the similar handwriting)
I must be missing something (reference or pun...) : I know what a peach is and I guess Geldof must be a name (I only know one Geldof : Bob Geldof who used to be the leader of the Irish band The Boomtown Rats)... But I don't understand the meaning of "peach Geldof, give generously"... Can someone explain please ? thanks

She is Bob Geldoffs daughter. She is someone who is famous simply for being famous, who is rather talentless and trys to be outrageously shocking.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by lee3 on Jun 17, 2009 16:44:40 GMT 1, >>>I would love to say yes, but I really don't care if he didn't. Tis 100% Banksy. Now wheres that half mill? <<<
I have a tough time believing he did much of that painting at all though I was told otherwise. It's borderline photorealism in its execution which is not something I've seen from this artist in the past. I suppose that is the difficult part of the anonymity angle as we simply don't know. I will say that it matters not to me if he sketched it out and had an army of people executing it or did it all himself as it's the work of art itself that counts. Though it was not my favorite piece in the show, it is a knock out and as one man's opinion- I'd rather it not go to a collector. I was told it was started 18 months ago when life was much different for us all and this is yet another example of life imitating art. The perfect piece to not only describe what is going on with politics there but the entire world at the moment and would be a shame to hang in one living room where the public can not admire it. I've been hoping privately (now publicly) that this one remains in the Bristol museum's permanent collection and I would be happy to donate generously towards that cause.
I had a wonderful time during my short stay in Bristol and still can't get this show out of my mind. The fact that it is open to the public for free for the entire summer is something I'm not accustomed to coming from the states. This artist has been more than generous to charity and those that admire his work over the years and I've really been focusing on the fact that it is remarkable that anyone is welcome to see this for free this day in age. Imagine if there were a couple of cans near the exit of the museum where visitors could give a couple pounds if they chose to do so and the proceeds were used as a thank you to the museum and the artist for the show to keep a spectacular piece(s) there permanently though I'm sure they'll get some regardless. If something like this was instituted and a hold were placed on that canvas provided we hit a certain goal by the end of the summer, I'd be be delighted to kick it off with (for me) a large donation. Maybe I'm jaded but I suspect a lot more money could be raised than one might believe.
My answer to the original question in this thread changes by the moment as I've got about 15 favorites from this show. If I had to pick, it would either be the woman taking a smoke break (I forget the proper title) or the lion tamer sculpture.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by Daniel Silk on Jun 17, 2009 16:52:52 GMT 1, £500,00 for that is a bargain! 
When I first saw a photo of it on here I was thinking about £1Million and maybe even that was cheap.
After seeing it for real its much bigger than I expected, and much more detailed.
