Banksy Posters can lead the way to hidden art treasures

Lenin300-w

Fans of Banksy Graffiti that want to see his new works have to be quick off the mark.
Often within hours a new piece of Banksy Art is either defaced, covered in Plexiglas or the walls themselves removed.
The anonymous artists work is now so valuable that people resort to all sorts of desperate measures to claim it as their own and in most cases place it on various online auctions at highly extortionate prices.

The best way to see new pieces is to keep an eye on the Banksy Graffiti forums. Here you can get the most up-to-date information, although most Banksy Posters are often reluctant to give the precise locations of new works through fear that the art will be defaced, damaged or stolen.
Indeed the recent Banksy Graffiti in New Orleans was barely dry before it was either prised up or painted over and in London earlier this year several pieces of Banksy Art were destroyed, it seems his public works are fast becoming an endangered species.
For those who are not able to view his public works, luckily some of the best pieces have been preserved as Banksy Posters and Prints.
Perhaps by its very definition, graffiti is of temporal nature and therefore destined to live a shorter life than most.

    Hey that is pretty cool, when you wrote ‘graffiti’ I presumed it would be writing, but it really is art isn’t it? I would happily have any of those Banksy creations on my wall. Very nice, and very well done.

    What a great artist he is! I absolutely love your articles you have dedicated to him! Without your quick witted writing and blog I would have never even discovered this artist. Thank you for opening the eyes of one man over here in the states! Keep up the good work!
