Banksy - art ?

It's okay, but I wouldn't queue to see it or pay for it.

Same here. He's obviously a technically capable artist, but I don't like his stuff much and I have no liking for graffiti.

Not really art in my book.

I have a couple of official prints - one of them signed.
So you never know, perhaps one day they will make me a little bit of money, especially the signed one.

I don't "get" this one. Others are excellent.

Mild, mild west was (I think) an advertising slogan for a brand of cigarettes.

I am also not entirely convinced Banksy is one person either.

He's a franchise operated by Nike.

Past his best. He has lost the originality and spark that I think he had. Used to see his stuff all over Bristol in the mid-late 90's and it was always a pleasure. Don't even plan on going to see the exhibition in Bristol. The "living" chicken nuggets and hot dogs just leave me cold. Get what he is trying to do but it is not big and not clever.

Got three prints of his here, cost me £30 each and they go for thousands now. The time has passed for picking his stuff up as an investment I reckon.

Some of my faves:

Good point. Some of his stuff I really, really like - other bits of it seem like meaningless vandalism.

You missed the boat years ago to buy Banksy stuff!

Banksy is fantastic. Not sure about investment potential. His star will rise but not sure if he will ever be worth mega bucks. Worth a punt.

I'd agree he's fantastic, and saw his exhibition the other day near Knightsbridge, so keen to see this one....

Originals go for 30 - 100....thousand pounds... have fun

Good review on his latest.......

Does anyone own some Banksy art, do people think it a worthwhile investment ?
