According to the New York Post, “Banksy’s a Bust!” His market is so bad that the Brooklyn Museum won’t even take a free piece by the famous street artist, the tabloid claims. Cara Tabachnick, whose family owns a building in East Williamsburg where Banksy painted two geishas during his month-long Better Out Than In “artist residency” in New […]
On one day during Banksy’s “New York residency” in October, the artist set up a street vendor stand selling “spray art” canvases for $60 a pop.

Visitors to Banksy’s website today were greeted with yet another mysterious change to its splash page, which previously hosted a photo of his “mobile lovers” piece.

A day after rolling out his “Sirens of the Lambs” truck, Banksy gets back to stenciling and strikes theological overtones with the newest piece in his ongoing series. It’s called “Concrete Confessional” and is located within a concrete block on 7th Street off of Cooper Square in the East Village, right across the street from […]
Just about everything Banksy has put up in New York this month has been defaced in some way or destroyed outright shortly after it was publicized. His first Better Out Than In piece was no exception–first, it was tagged up, then the sign was stolen, and the Smart Crew put up a modified version, and finally, […]
