Re: Street Art

So I think I am a little late to the blogging party this week, but here I am.

I remember when I saw "Exit through the Gift Shop" for the first time, and found the underground life of a street artist very compelling.  It is especially interesting how mainstream these graffiti artists have become in recent years, booking gallery shows and public displays.

Banksy has begun to work on canvases and prints. One of which sold for over $1m at auction and depicts an auction house, it was named "I can't believe you morons actually buy this shit".

I can't believe Banksy went out of his way to create a work of art actively making fun of his patrons and someone was willing to pay over a million dollars for it. But I digress, Banksy is a true street artist - shrouded in mystery and he still remains that way even though he went all Hollywood.
