So having just seen the update on the Banksy site, it seems that today there was a small stall in Central Park where Mr Banksy (through another stall keeper) was selling original artworks on canvas for just $60 a pop
What really makes me laugh here is that a lot of people probably made the assumption that these were fakes because of the price – UNREAL! I am sure there would’ve been people snapping these up if they were on sale in London, no matter the price.
Total sales on the day $420 – it’s interesting to see how people react, everyone seems so nonchalant when purchasing. Genius example of a social experiment.

Roh putain l’hallu RT v/ @markjenkins Banksy sells original canvas artworks in Central Park – http://t.co/n9NjZb3ERZ
60$ is too much for small canvas sprayed with bit of black paint
They’ll be worth a hell of a lot more than $60
in this market..today… one original piece from banksy (not a lito) it’s valuable from 1500 to 15000 dollars… so? this is a clearly provocation…
it’s not art anymore, it’s brand…
This whole Banksy thing is a joke played out on sheep.
CIRI stencil spray painting I make them with my heart .. =) and sell them a lot less … =(
I think the same but if Bansky did them, thore are priceless
