Re: Banksy's Identity Revealed?!?
could very well be a lie...
a few people have already tried to cash in on art claiming to be his....
found this on super touch
LONDON///ART & COMMERCE///BANKSY ESTABLISHES HIS OWN OFFICIAL “CERTIFICATION” BOARD…
In an effort to thwart bootlegging and the resale of his illegally placed street installations, national living art treasure, knight of the Queen’s court, and minister of tourism BANKSY (Sir Banksy, to the common man), has just established an official certification board to authenticate his artworks prior to resale. Yes, you read that right. Appropriately named “Pest Control,” the Banksy-appointed committee has declared that all major resellers of his work must consult them first before any secondary market work can be considered truly authentic. A member of Banksy’s camp reports, “The works are made for specific sites, and taking them is tantamount to theft. That is why Banksy has approved this authentication system. He certainly doesn’t want the people who’ve removed them making money out of it.” This move comes after three inauthentic works attributed to Banksy went on sale at Bloomsbury Auctions in London without prior certification. And so turns yet another incredible page in the grand work of performance art that is Banksy’s career…

Re: Banksy's Identity Revealed?!?
Yea I read another article similar to this the other day. It was a little more in depth though.
It seem to pose a pretty good argument that it was him. Either way he still is the s**t.
I just got his book the other day "Wall & Piece" good stuff. |

Re: Banksy's Identity Revealed?!?
Wouldn't it be funny if it was all just a ploy by Interpol and British Police to have the real Banksy come out of hiding and be like "WTF mate"...
At which point, the cops are like "Haha Gotcha!" |
