help selling a removed piece., by mcster on Apr 22, 2008 7:48:09 GMT 1, thanks for the advice and abuse...it was removed sometime ago and has appeared in publications. It sometimes takes guts to remove these things and seeing as it was on the wall of a big biz... who would have only removed and flogged it themselves by now, as the prices of these pieces are well known in the wider public domain. It aint all about gain, its had its time on the living room wall and now it could give me a break from my dead end job for a bit. It takes all sorts as they say, and I really didnt expect such staunch goody two shoes responses on here. But thanks to the level headed.
There's nothing 'goody two shoes' shoes about wanting street art left in place. The artists do the pieces to be seen by everyone, not line your pocket.

naive. theft is theft; no matter how you try to dress it up and self-vindicate.

help selling a removed piece., by mainartery on Apr 22, 2008 12:42:48 GMT 1, I think it is in the rules to remove a piece which is very semi permanent as long as that does not entail taking the wall with you as well.
As far as selling a removed piece or a found street piece is a 'no no' as the artist has left it for the love of art, not for somebody to profit off.
IMHO

That all depends on how strong the glue is!
