Cream of Banksy Value Soup
Perhaps times are hard, but this did not stop a bidder at the Bonham’s sale in London from buying the Banksy Oil Canvas “Tesco Value Tomato Soup”, for $193K.
The piece had originally been estimated to sell for $131K, so a nice mark up for the owner!
The canvas is a pastiche of Warhol “Campbell Soup” and a firm favourite here at Banksy Posters.
Nearly a third of other works at the art sale failed to sell, although other Banksy Graffiti sold, proving that the anonymous artist’s works are as popular as ever.
