Page 8 of Banksy....Is it Art or Graffiti ??

I still see Banksy's work as Graffiti, and would be quite happy to take a sledgehammer to the wall that it is on 

I always chuckle when fragile art is destroyed and people go up in arms. I remember a guy falling down a flight of stairs by accident in a museum and hitting a big priceless ming vase on the half landing, and smashing to pieces. I mean why put it on a half landing LOL. I wonder who paid for that one? 

Mind you i suppose ancient art/statues are worth saving as they say it shows the spiritual and creative side of Man, instead of man the destroyer. As for me, well it is rather wasted on an outback man.

As he's anonymous, how do they know it was him?

Because he has other means of communicating other than speaking in person. I do as well, and I'm sure you've got a few.

A new model of a miniature stable, which appears to have been signed by the artist, was found at Merrivale Model Village in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on Sunday morning.

Banksy-style art also appeared on Friday in Admiralty Road in the town, in Gorleston and in Oulton Broad and Lowestoft in Suffolk.

None has yet been authenticated.

London onlookers watched as man removed Banksy art


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-67802939


Quote:
Two men were seen taking down the sign at about 12.30 GMT. Banksy is not behind the removal.

Alex, 26, said no-one knew what to do and "we just watched it happen".

The Metropolitan Police said there was no current investigation into the incident as no-one who owned the artwork had come forward to report it stolen.

The piece on Commercial Way was included in photos on his Instagram page on Friday shortly after midday.

I like that point by the Met/Police.

You never know with Banksy but it being staged didn't enter my mind.
I'm erring in the side of (brazen!) theft still.
