Whereabouts can I look at Banksy London art?
I’m going to London for the day just to go see Banksy London art for my project and don’t know where to go on tubes and don’t even know where his stencil work is.
Admin answers:
There is a Banksy book with info and photos about where you can find the location of the graffiti artist Banksy London art – put it on your list etc. Also take a look at the Banksy website.
In Paris they treat all graffiti art as the ‘people’s art’ – almost like it is sacred. Here in London the philistines of Westminster City Corporation have steam washed some of Banky’s work off the walls. Banksy London art is worth many thousands of pounds by the way – brainless bastardos.

Banksy, canvas prints and books?
Where in london can I buy quality but affordable Banksy London art and which books contains photos or pictures of all his work up to date?
I have seen some Brick lane canvas prints, are there any other pieces of Banksy London art?
Admin answers:
Go on ebay (put “Banksy” in to the search bar, there’s abut a dozen pages of all sorts), you’ll find loads of printed canvases of his work… None of it original – all cheap knock offs, but all for about £40-100 or so, dependent on size.
To buy a Banksy print (limited edition runs of around 250-1000), printed by “him” that is, you will be looking at upwards of £1k (for a signed one). You can buy the prints direct from source, but they pretty much all sell out within the first 30 seconds of release, no hype or bull… Fastest selling artist on the planet, right now.
For a Banksy London art original canvas (if you can find one for sale), expect to pay in the region of £40,000+ and then about 20% in auction house fees on top! If you have that sort of money, then buy as much and as many as you can carry, by the end of the year it’ll be £80,000+, easy!
On the book question… “Wall & Piece” contains an awful lot of Banksy London art, there is no one single definitive guide – buy the latest edition as he updates it from time to time. Should cost around £10-15, from all good book shops (as well as some bad ones too) and is well worth the money. There are some limited editions of his first three “books” (“Existencilism”, “Cut It Out” and “Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall”), about the size of the Mr Men books… But these change hands for about £50 a pop now, and have little Banksy London art that isnt in Wall & Piece. They are available from certain sources online as pdf’s… But you ain’t seen me, right?
James asks…
Artists like Banksy and Andy Warhol……?
I just did a school art project on the Banksy London art. I also studied Andy Warhol, Barbera Kruger, and Shepherd Fairey. that project was titled environment. my next project is called Tradition. I am in year 11 and planning to take art for A level, and this is a practise GCSE that I need to have done in 5 weeks. Do you know of any artists like these who base their work on some kind of tradition, it doesn’t have to be a particular tradition, I can take it as far as I want or if you have any ideas please share them! I’ve just got nothing at the moment and I start it next week. I need a really good artist. Thanks in advance.
Admin answers:
Blek le Rat has been around so long he virtually is a tradition. Banksy said something to the effect that “every time I have a brilliant idea, I find out Blek le Rat did it 20 years ago”.
Hughie O’Donaghue is a painter who’s deeply concerned with tradition, but a very modern painter. I think he’s brilliant, but that’s just my opinion.
There aren’t many that can be rated as highly as Banksy London art works.
Helen asks…
Is there a reward for “Banksy London art“?
I saw my neighbours son one night spraying urban art on walls in London, this graffitti art mural, I later saw in a book about Banksy London art. The next day i asked him why he was spraying artworks on the walls, and did you know it was an offence, and that i took photografic evidence. His reply was if you tell my mum or the police he would graffiti street art on the front of my house, should i call the police??
Admin answers:
No. But I would ask the graffiti artist for a couple of free originals, as Banksy London art is highly valued.
