Again Banksy - the famous and mysterious and elusive .
Another of his creation put up for auction on December 5 in the United States :
At the auction in the United States exhibit graffiti "Girl with Flower " /Flower Girl /, painted in 2008 by famed British street artist Banksy on the wall of a gas station in Los Angeles. Organizes the auction, which will be held on December 5 , located in Beverly Hills, CA /California /auction house " Dzhulienc " /Julien's Auctions /.
As reported on Tuesday its representatives , the work will go under the hammer at least 150 thousand dollars.
Well here are the organizers of the over-modest , according to other sources they expect to receive at least $ 300,000 , but if you look at the history of sales, in the same year, " painting" , " slave labor " was sold for $ 1.1 million . and in this regard it can be assumed that the price of between 700,000 and $ 1 million is realistic . From an investment point of view is very correct purchase . All is well : the name, the mysterious stories accompanying the work and it is not strange provenance and authenticity. As you know there is a site where Banksy mythical places its creation, so do not be mistaken .

What attracts me to this story - whether it secret and ingenious financial background ? For the name of Banksy is a talented business plan or disinterested genius ? I think the latter, assume that someone came up with the story of the mysterious artist of Street Art , based on its popularity and as a result the capitalization of pictures - very difficult. And I think in the first place due to technical reasons - break out a piece of the wall with a picture for resale is not an easy task . And even if there was someone in the plans , it would be painted in places where it is not hard to do. So I think in this case, we are dealing with art for art's sake , and not for the money . And that 's why they're going to be expensive , and now even more so with time.
