Art is surely just a personal opinion and judgement. Nobody is right or wrong. I like Banksy's material and think he's clever and original, but I don't understand why people will pay millions for Van Gogh or Cezanne or Matisse or Picasso. I don't rate them at all.

 

The difference is Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso will never know the appreciation of their work. Banksy hopefully does whether it's art or graffiti.

This is brilliant (sorry Nonna, but above is a shocking example of a quote, reads perfectly well without it?)

The thing with Banksy is that he is too real a reflection on life.

 

His visions of the British parliament are irreproachable. Here is one example:

I'm not sure how to react to this on ebay.    I wonder exactly what you get for your money.

Wonder when the bike seat will turn up on eBay? It was still attached to the bike 1st thing Thursday morning & it was gone by 11am 

 

In Banksy Instagram endorsement the postbox was included, this was the postbox reported overflowing with covid testing kits? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-54434384 Bike lock, lockdown? Raleigh bike Nottingham?

Youve eliminated the twitter link and now it works.

I think you'll get exactlywhat it says, a print on canvas. My-picture .co.uk will produce a canvas print from a photograph from £6.50...  (100x75 for £52)

Someone's half inched the bleddy bike Nottingham does not deserve

And quite right... bleddy eyesore...

The owner of the building removed the bike for "safe keeping" 

the bike has now been replaced  with a Raleigh bike.

Bike for sale, needs slight attention.

Thought someone might leave the bike and pinch the post ! It's probably worth more.

I think the owner of the building is just protecting his assets, the wall will most problerly be removed & sold along with the bike, the Banksy artwork on the garage in Port Talbot sold for six figure sum  there was a new bike there this morning.
