Street artist Banksy’s screen print of supermodel Kate Moss sold for US$191,000 at a recent “street art” auction in London. They sold for more than 5 times the expected.
Some people are suprised by the high prices (last week’s charity Red Auction at Sotheby’s in New York one was sold for more than $1.8m (£921,000). But many who grew up with graffitti, hip-hop, and skate culture are now older and have dough.
The Kate Moss piece, inspired by Andy Warhol’s iconic portrait of Marilyn Monroe, was one of 75 pieces of “urban art” on sale.
New pieces are on sale at the Andipa Gallery.
I still prefer the street art.
His street work is of course For the People.
