YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE SHOW!, by fielder on Jun 13, 2009 22:11:00 GMT 1, Haven't had the pleasure of going yet, but I'm sure that when I do it'll be the House Of Commons painting. From what I've seen in pictures and on the TV it looks like it would blow you away. There is so much detail in it and i highlights what a gifted artist Mr. B is. Destined to be one of his all time best.

well i'm american and i live in a tourist town in florida where i see this picture everyday. So i guess i naturally think americans. Whenever i do see this scene i cant help but think to myself "If these fat a-holes would get off their fat ass and pull that little guy around it would do them a lot of good!"

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE SHOW!, by Coach on Jun 13, 2009 22:32:45 GMT 1, My favorites were: the mock studio - get to the front and spend ages!! the big green one with the frollicking riot coppers the one with the mum adjusting the anarchists face mask the riot copper on the horse - spooky in person (as you can tell, not too sure of the titles of these pieces!!) Amazing show! c

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE SHOW!, by skelly on Jun 14, 2009 7:02:43 GMT 1, From the pictures I like the mom adjusting the anarchists bandana above as well as the house of apes painting. There are also quite a lot of classics it looks; I have always loved the french artist painting with the palette next to the dick canvas and I've been waiting to see the drawing of the little boy towing the americans come to life.

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE SHOW!, by Andy'77 on Jun 14, 2009 18:22:11 GMT 1, It's a difficult one, I love the backpacked mouse with the spray can in amongst the normal display. The running riot police were great too. Liked the Heavy Weaponry piece that was there as well, in fact there were some many great pieces it's hard to choose just one or even five. Top show.

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE SHOW!, by buffin on Jun 15, 2009 16:38:50 GMT 1, Yes agree with the Monkey Parliament as the best new work there. Loved no ball games when it was at Dreweatts but didn't think it looked as good without the tv. Wonder why he changed it?
Great to see some old school stencils in the studio mock up and the Heavy Weaponry was very nice.

Hope it translates well anyhow as up there with his greatest IMO

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE SHOW!, by yozzer on Jun 15, 2009 19:06:37 GMT 1, Awesome show, had a amazing day. My favorite piece was the stencil workshop which gave an interesting insight into the mind and workings of Banksy.
Also would love to own Silent Night, what a masterpiece! Boghenge was brilliant and my favorite section of the gallery was Unnatural History but enjoyed exploring the other areas of the museum looking for other Banksy's, the Urban Art Rat in British & South West Wildlife was a great surprise!

Could someone please snap a pic of it or post the exact wording. Ta.

Will type in so I can search for it by keyword when I forget in a month's time:
"I've always taken care of myself. I've never accepted handouts. Even when I was on the dole for four years I worked the whole time."

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE 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.

YOUR FAVOURITE BANKSY PIECE FROM THE 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.
