Hidden Banksy Graffiti at the Swiss Embassy, by HRE on May 1, 2012 10:08:53 GMT 1, for those that can't open it text below
Going underground Pierre de Villiers finds out how the worldโs most secretive and sought-after graffiti artist wound up doing a paint job on the Swiss Ambassadorโs garage
His iconic graffiti stencils crop up everywhere, from the West Bank wall to LA and London and have spawned thousands of T-shirts.Celebrities from Angelina Jolie to Kate Moss and Cristina Aguilera fall over themselves to bag his originals. And his documentary taking a playful sideswipe at the commercialisation of his own artform was nominated for an Oscar.Yet before this reclusive urban guerrilla artist was famous, Banksy was invited to do a paint job on the Swiss Ambassadorโs underground garage. It is the stuff of urban legend: beneath the Residenceโs impressive wall hanging by Le Corbusier (himself a pioneering rebel of modern art, architecture and urban living) is a seldom-seen subterranean gold-mine of graffiti, bearing the unmistakable Banksy tag. In fact, itโs a toss up which art would sell for more. Not two weeks ago, a Banksy collection fetched more than ยฃ400,000 at a Bonhams auction and the Residenceโs urban art gallery has been estimated at a cool ยฃ1 million.
The stencils bear all the Banksy hallmarks of subversion, anticapitalism and irony. Thereโs a mural of 21 portraits of Vladimir Lenin sporting a Mohican with the slogan Vulture Capitalists. There is also a menagerie of animals that Banksy favours: a rodent (not his iconic sewer rat, but a flame-throwing Mickey Mouse), an ape and a French poodle apparently fantasising about a burly British bulldog-poodle.
One pillar features a Mona Lisa with a green rifle sight painted on her forehead; another has a menacing policeman juxtaposed with a small advisory note: โLaugh now but one day weโll be in chargeโ โ a message which echoes the original idea behind the urban art gallery. So how did the land better known for bankers land Banksy? In late 2000, a pair of Swiss artists and three Brits โ Banksy and his spray-mates Slug and Chu (whose contribution includes a 3D 'TurnTableTank' crashing through the wall, called Swiss on a roll) โ were invited to the Embassy and given diplomatic immunity to spray with impunity.
To keep their identity secret, they were smuggled into the Residence in the dead of night to decorate the car park in preparation for a garage rave to launch the Embassyโs Next Generation cultural programme in 2001.
It was originally intended as a temporary installation but the Ambassador at the time, Bruno Spinner, liked it so much he decided to make it a permanent feature. And unlike some less scrupulous landowners who have woken up to find a Banksy on their wall and chipped it off and flogged it, this display is here to stay.
It forms a great backdrop to youth-themed events at the Embassy, which have included the BBC YourGame project, a social inclusion project using sports to inspire marginalised youngsters.
โThe graffiti art in the Embassyโs garage shows Switzerlandโs urban and creative side through a dialogue with young British artists who emerged from underground art movements and street culture,โ explains Swiss Ambassador Anton Thalmann. โThis image will be showcased again at the House of Switzerland at Glaziers Hall during the Olympic Games in London this summer.โ
The brainchild of the Swiss cultural attach. at the time, Wolfgang Amadeus Brรผhart, the Next Generation series was organised at the start of the new century "to engage with the next generation of people and artists who will largely shape and determine the future". A decade later, the public voted Banksy as the Greatest Living British artist. And the Olympics, with its focus on young people, incorporates a stylised graffiti.

Banksy Kate Moss (Colourways) Print, by HRE on Apr 28, 2012 10:13:43 GMT 1, I love the smug lip on her. Great image. Worth more than Warhol? Are we really comparing Banksy to Warhol? Lets talk in another 20 years. Agree, no comparison. Dont get me wrong I like most of his works and I this Kate print but like most artists Bansky has copied Warhol. For these serious buyers investing in Banksy OG's/high end prints for the future
What do you thing are the high end prints? The APs?

Art Car Boot Fair, by HRE on Apr 25, 2012 13:35:46 GMT 1, I seem to remember the organisers wanting a mess I quote " we want mayhem and running through the gates it will make good photo"
To be fair it was Marcus Harvey (turps) saw how long that people have queued for and gave out the first 20 tickets to people so that they at least got what they wanted.

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by HRE on Mar 8, 2012 15:09:58 GMT 1, I agree with everyone else - this looks fantastic. Are the coloured spacers acid free? Yep......Spacers are covered with conservation mount board. If sprayed then need to line them so that the print is not touching them, which is totally fine but a lot of extra work for Dale!
would it matter if the spacers where not conservation as the card would only be touching the board that the print is on? Not the actual print.

Thinking of selling Banksy's, by HRE on Mar 6, 2012 18:24:20 GMT 1, They have all been framed to archival standards with UV glass and been kept away from direct sun light.
The conditions of all are like new no dents or ripples. Once I have all the COA they will be removed from the frames to be sold. Will post pictures once this is done.
Hope this helps things a little
