      I lived in NYC during the late 80s/early 90s and I would see absolutely beautiful pieces painted over or power washed off walls. It killed me to see them get erased like that because a lot of them added to the liveliness of the area. Of course that's not counting the dumbasses that sprayed their tag name in black all over the place.

    If I were Banksy, instead of being angry of my art having great value, I would go to an estate/project full of struggling people and paint on their properties (cars, bikes, etc.) , so they can later sell it and make easy millions. It's a great way to understand capitalism and help the poor.

      @@poolfert9963 Values on art isn't easily predictable. It would depend on whose selling it, and the buyers. If Banksy's art is in the ghetto, the seller could be any kind of person, from a good but struggling family to a lone druggie. They would ask for a low amount, likely, but even then an easy $2000 helps alot. Now the buyers in the other hand... there's insufferable tokenism in England, especially in the modern art community. There's a chance someone whose been graffiti'd by Banksy could take advantage of that and sell his piece for a lot for their benefit. If I had 3 hungry mouths to feed, I would.

      Street art IS graffiti. A lot has a great meaning behind it but the ones you'll sometimes, and more often see, have no real meaning than just tagging.
      Back home , there is a great alley way as well as an underground culture for street art. São Paulo is where you find some of the greatest pictures I have seen.
      Banksy, however, I admire. Stands up for what's he believes in and I find myself agreeing.
      Art should be free to people who want to experience it and not sold just for rich people to trade here and there.
      Get tax right off and such. Leave street art be where people can see it and enjoy it.
      Where it was made to sit And be seen.
      Only art that should be sold is art that is specifically created to be sold. It's not a bad profession but it should only be sold with permission of the artist creating it.

    First of all, Banksy is great, and I fully approve of his art and its meaning, intention and his ideology of giving his work freely, but I wish I knew more about how his art actually benefits the people the art intends to fight for. I'm sure a lot of his art which has been sold has gone into the pockets of someone who really doesn't need it, and surely not someone which the artwork was in tented to highlight/benefit. Its kind of tricky, and in NO WAY a criticism of Banksy, as his art does massively benefit the intended subject (maybe not via primary financing). And I'm pretty sure Banksy is probably extremely wealthy, certainly comfortable, so it's hard to take some of his artwork fully at its worth based on that. But let me say, again, Banksy's ideology is genius and can only be commended. His art really is true, true art and nothing, NOTHING (especially a mere RUclips comment) , can take that away from him. I just struggle to see how his art style can, primarily, do anything more than line pockets of people who don't need it. Yes, the message gets out massively, but the weak, vulnerable and desperate really could do with the financial benefits. Maybe there is something to be said for for the owners of the canvases, in regards this... but if Banksy means what he means, surely he should consider the financial aspect for the people he's highlighting.
