I don’t see how that piece was worth a million pounds. I know artists who draw much better and who do not get millions of dollars for their art.
I wonder... was this a staged event, designed to bring fame/notoriety to the artist?
Or the stupidity of art collectors and what they now consider as art?
I think I saw that girl on my salt container.
Well it is definitely a kind of publicity stunt by “Banksy” — the question is whether Sotheby’s was in on it. I’d think they would do a thorough examination of any pieces presented for auction, but since it was not an “old master” maybe they did not think to examine the frame with an x-ray device.
