If you haven’t heard of Banksy or Basquiat – You are probably not into art. But… Banksy has done something incredible that art lovers should know about, and everyone should Applaud!
In a world where consumerism is King, Banksy is a producer. His work is found in the raw setting of the urban jungle; on walls, billboards, and decaying buildings. Finding his art is akin to a scavenger hunt.
Though Banksy’s art can go for as much as $100,000.00 at auction, he practically gives it away. By painting near worthless walls, and surfaces… Bansky turns them into gold, merely by the genius of his craft, and people are fighting over who can get there first and cash in!
I am not only a huge fan and admirer (as you can tell) but cannot help notice the Free Market application from results of his work. Banksy has not only created something out of nothing… BUT, though his brilliant campaign of Guerrilla marketing, and the careful manipulation of his image (no one really knows who he is… he works at night and in secret, only surfaces in a mask…) But he has bypassed the Illuminati distribution Cartels, and created a value that did not currently exist.
He has also made a para political Statement to the world in doing so!
Banksy – Call me bro!
