Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by Deleted on Sept 2, 2009 14:22:39 GMT 1, 16 page "souvenir supplement" in today's evening post.
Art critic: Banksy should have been put down at birth.
Art critic Brian Sewell has said that Banksy "should have been put down at birth".
He also said Bristol City Council's proposals to put to the vote what graffiti art in the city should be kept was "bonkers" and that the popularity of Banksy vs Bristol Museum was another sign that "the art world has gone absolutely crazy".
Talking to a national newspaper, Mr Sewell said: "The two words 'graffiti' and 'art' should never be put together.
"The public doesn't know good from bad. For this city to be guided by the opinion of people who don't know anything about art is lunacy. It doesn't matter if they (the public) like it. It will result in a proliferation of entirely random decoration, for want of a better word. Buildings of fine quality, and there are many in Bristol, will be defaced. The architecture must take primacy over whatever street artists may want to do.
"Any fool who can put paint on canvas or turn a cardboard box into a sculpture is lauded.
"Banksy should have been put down at birth. It's no good as art, drawing or painting. His work has no virtue. It's merely the sheer scale of his impudence that has given him so much publicity."
Councillor Gary Hopkins, cabinet member for environment, said: "I think this man needs to get out more. People in Bristol passed comment on whether they liked Banksy four years ago when they voted on keeping his work in Frogmore Street."
Banksy was not available for comment last night.

I can' find the link for that right now but I don't think it said there would definitley be a book ...just something on the lines of "reserves the right to..."

Haha. Nice!
I expect the Bristol Evil Post made a few extra quid with their constant coverage about the queues.
Lazy bastards they are!

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by buffin on Sept 3, 2009 11:01:32 GMT 1, Think I read that Banksy will be donating one piece from the exhibition for the Museum's permanent collection. I am aware that many of the pieces are already owned by other people but that aside, which one would you like to see on permanent display?
For me it would be the Hirst collaboration.

Pretty sure it was recently created for the show as seen in the show trailer, and was not sold:
What make you say it is on loan?

Was confirmed on the radio last night. A piece from Banksy will be going into the new museum on the harbourside.

Either from collectors, or Mr B himself. Time will tell which piece he donates, but the fact that they were selling 'Monkey Parliament' posters might give some indication.
