The great Banksy raffle
For those seeking investments outside the financial institutions during these turbulent times, a gamble on Banksy Graffiti might well be a wise move.
On October 16th, an exhibition will be held in a disused factory in London and it will be attended by a very select crowd at $10K per ticket, slightly more expensive than the price of Banksy Posters…
Each ticket guarantees that you will walk away with a minor original work by one of the featured artists, in addition to this two winners of a raffle will walk away with a piece of Banksy Art.
One of the works is a sketch of the Banksy Graffiti that appeared earlier this year in London that showed three children pledging allegiance to a Tesco (the British version of Walmart) carrier bag on a flagpole.
The other artwork is a nineteenth century oil painting with a PC style “system error” obscuring it, valued at $600K.
As much as I’d love to attend the raffle, I think I’ll be saving my pennies and sticking with my Banksy Posters for now!
