Banksy identity 'accidentally revealed by Goldie' during interview
http://www.independent.co.uk/art…
Goldie said: "Give me a bubble letter and put it on a T-shirt and write Banksy on it and we're sorted. We can sell it now... No disrespect to Robert, I think he is a brilliant artist. I think he has flipped the world of art over."
After he mentioned “Robert”, Goldie paused for a few seconds before changing the subject.

- What isn't art?utopian
- ironically it will increase its valuespl33nidoru

- Who picked that frame??formed
- yup, it's probably doubled in value nowGnash
- The buyer now owns a piece of the history of modern art. It could worth 10 times its original value. Nice job !gonzalle
- no way!notype
- so Banksy or someone was there to press the button on the remote control to get it working.shapesalad
- Or they were. You know. Remote.monospaced
- who owns the artwork now? is sotheby's still the owner as no money has flown yet? they will want to keep it and action it for more $uan
- *Banksy provided the frame. Probably demanded to display as it is.pango

- when was banksy ever not cool?Milan
- excellent!renderedred
- Milan. When his work is showing in the art gallery and auction house.pango
- Art becomes performance art. Anyway.. just a bit of paper at the end of the day. Seen plenty of paper before, myself, have I.shapesalad
- lol @ the twitter videoutopian
- Super cute.shellie
- pango, he doesn't put his work in galleries or auction houses. people steal it and put it there.Milan
- This one seems deliberately given to the auction house tho... He was also accused of stealing other people's work in the early days. If he is one person.pango
- of course, it's a deliberate middle finger stunt to galleries and auctionsMilan
- ^ increasing his own value in the processspl33nidoru
- He's probably the guy from Massive Attack. Also he became uncool when his celebrity outstripped his message and started selling books at Urban Outfitters.garbage

His anonymity is genius - there's no way anyone could justify something like this selling for millions.
No matter how much "it's a reflection of the homogenisation of the socioeconomic paradigms" shit you spin, it's still just cool graffiti. So if he isn't there to explain, people just make up their own bullshit
- The Russian Banksy exhibit really sucked, felt fake, so this latest stunt was pretty novel. https://www.rt.com/n…robotron3k

Yes how does he keep anonymous if he's selling pieces & art. He needs to be in contact with somebody? And how do the financial transactions happen?
- agentshapesalad
- /\ who knows the artist's identity, and pays an unnamed corporation, and who's every interest is in keeping the hype train going.ben_
- He's not selling the art...people with [his] pieces are selling. [He] has a couple people in the loop - but Banksy's schtique isn't the money side.see_thru
- ....and are you certain it's a He?see_thru
- it's not a "he"; it's an art collectiveKrassy
- see_thru
- ^ BANKSY!Krassy
- so is a "she" in the collective or not? and does "she" get payed equal?api
