I guess we're stupid..., by Deleted on Jan 28, 2008 5:42:47 GMT 1, yeah, i was being facetious, but you're right, there are always "haters" who at the end of the day are either jealous or just plain out of touch with the masses.

I guess we're stupid..., by darjeeling on Jan 28, 2008 5:45:00 GMT 1, Whle I might agree with the author that some of the prices paid for Banksy at auction are kind of stupid I don't think that even compares to the 'stupid' thoughts typed up by said author, Matthew Collings.
What's juvenile and stupid is to assume that you can't enjoy both Cรฉzanne and Banksy. Or to think that a canvas by Banksy, Faile etc. doesn't breath life or vitality.
But this kind of rant by the old guard filled with such asinine buzz words and insults is expected and the ironic thing is he references Cรฉzanne and Pollock whose work at the time was equally as new and jarring in of course different ways. But if he's going to take that angle how is dripping paint on canvas smart and 'vital'?

I guess we're stupid..., by pezlow on Jan 28, 2008 10:06:15 GMT 1, I'm pretty sure that collings wrote this piece in order to provoke and I wonder whether he truly believes it all.
In one of his previous series "This is modern art" he lauded Richard Prince for his jokes. I don't see the difference between Richard prince's jokes and Banksy except that Banksy is lot funnier.

I think Pezlow was the only person to read the article. Lose the chip on your shoulder guys.
Although RP is pretty funny pez

It's not exactly representative of the best of what the scene has to offer. It's getting a lot of press and I'm sure people will go to the viewings thinking "what's this urban art thing all about then", only to get there and be very disappointed and baffled. Pity.

Yeah that's a fair point. There are a couple of decent banksy canvasses in the auction but other than that it is pretty disappointing...
