<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 1002117, member: 60"]Banksy is a self promoter by claiming to be anti-establishment but, he's still producing for the establishment, the fame and the money while still making his own point on current affairs. He's brilliant. His shredder stunt made the work more valuable and made him more famous, even though people have no idea who Banksy is. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have you seen the documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop"? To this day, people still think the entire thing was another Banksy hoax. He claims to be annoyed that people don't believe it was real. At the time it came out, I shared models with a group of other artists that I went to art school with and this documentary was a hot topic almost every week. Another brilliant money making move by making fun of what people will buy as art, only because of what someone else says about it, and the artist. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with next now that his work broke a record.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
