This past Sunday, we attended the Banksy opening at the Vanina Holasek Gallery in Chelsea. I love Banksy’s work, but it seemed a little odd to see his stenciled work framed and matted in a gallery, with penciled-in price tags labeled on the wall – $30k, $60k, $150k. It seemed a far cry from the street art and subversive work that he’s known for.
Still, he’s one of the more interesting contemporary artists out there – Lauren Collins has a nice profile piece, from The New Yorker in May. And, I love his album artwork for Blur’s last LP, in 2003.
More photos, and a video of Banksy’s subversive museum activity below the fold.

Banksy Prints – Diana Ten Pound Note
Hi Everyone!
I am looking to sell some of my Banksy collection – Di-Faced Tenners.
They are in perfect condition (mint) and I have kept them in an acid free folder and my house is smoke free.

I have uploaded a video showing the note to Youtube.
The quality is not great and does not do justice to the detail of the actual print. For better quality images please see the photos! (see below)
