King ROBBO ๐ฌ๐ง Banksy v King Robbo โข Street Art, by Cornish Crayon on Dec 29, 2009 23:35:08 GMT 1, Okay so i'm not a "major player" in the art graf world, but i along with my wife appreciate art and the whole lifestyle,
Our thoughts should anybody care,
the orignal piece has stood the test of time well and for it to still be there or even slightly recognisable after 25 years is fantastic,
But after reading the whole story or what i'm being told, we personally thought that the banksy piece enhanced the original robbo piece and almost refreshed it, bringing it back to life and making it pretty much the main centre piece on the grey wall, almost framing it
It did look a mess after 25 years and thats a real shame, we think if someone else (not banksy) had gone over this it would not be an issue just progressions in art,
as for the king robbo splash back, its a bit strange that they have left the man there as they are then contridicting (sp) the whole issue of using another person art.......if that makes sense ? ? ;D
just my 2pence worth,
I won't get drawn into a slanging match

Thanks for the mature reply and your invitation, I appreciate it. My distrust of galleries is the same as my distrust of anyone that manages/handles creative talent and makes money off the back of it...I find that when there so many chancers out there then I am naturally dubious until a gallery shows its worth/integrity. If I offended you in my post, then I apologise, it isn't personal as I've never met ya.
I am glad that you understand our business model more clearly. Your response is well received and also appreciated. Thanks.

anyone with any sense understands that street art is transitory by it's very nature

Drax is the real king though.

I showed my daughter the Banksy image yesterday not knowing the history. I showed her the history and we had a laugh at the back-and-forth.
Street art and respect--two concepts that don't quite square in the first place. Interesting!
I personally liked Banksy's comment about commercializing graffiti.

Now, a bunch of peeps now know who Robbo is for one f**king reason, and one reason alone... because of Banksy.
If anything, Robbo should be on his knees offering Banksy a happy ending after a nice, soothing massage... ;D

See, I think what Banksy did was more of an homage to or resurrection of a forgotten, abused piece of graf. Not sure why everyone seems to think it was a beef or bite...

2010? You mean the next 25 years...as long as Robbo's piece was up!

Responses will show if Banksy really gives a f**k about "street cred"(As if that's something that matters in the real world). Doubt it, he's always been willing to laugh at himself IMO

At the moment I think Banksy is quite a bit ahead of all other stencil artists out there so a good old fashioned street battle could kick some life into the safe part of the street art scene.
