Banksy Was Selling Art in Central Park on Saturday [VIDEO]

where did he get the idea of sencil from?

I like what he did in the past.

I heard on NPR today it was really Bansky and he only sold 3 for $50 each.... Then I remembered this post! Who ever got one got a deal;)

I love Banksy, but can't disagree with F. Marek.

I wish I got the Winnie the poo piece!

It's beautiful!

He and Lady Gaga would make a perfect pair of art pop crap morons, "Banksy"=art laughing all the way to the bank

@tinytot_onthego I really wish i lived in NYC

@laurrdunn I take it you've seen please exit through the gift shop?!

Well that was rather rude and uncalled for. Whatever you need to say to make it right in your head bubby, that's cool I guess, but I'm sporting Nunn Bush's on my tootsies right now, which is entirely unimportant. Nike and McD's logos are graphics associated with an actual consumable items that would be bought with or without that image, where Bansky's art could be more associated with provoking thought and wonder. What's your beef with him taking people out of the box for a moment and introducing a little reflection? You sound pretty angry and stressed, is everything alright?

"This is not a photo opportunity."

Nike and McDonalds labels make way more than him -- so STFU and hit PacSun for another pair of Vans with the anarchy symbol on them

Why the hell has every single update from Village Voice been about Banksy? I get it. He's a great artist that is influencing modern art and culture in a big way. But why this obsession? This school girl crush?

I give a shit. No matter how much you may think he is or isn't an artist, his images have made more of an impact and affect on contemporary culture than any other artist out right now. All I see is a bunch of angry, ignored and jealous starving artists making spiteful comments. Art is a creation made to connect the common man with the divine, so if he is reaching the 'mall going masses' then he has done his job correctly.

Did your photog see the part where it says "This is not a photo opportunity?"

haha haha, so are you buying art or are you buying a name. I love this

@JeanGreasy have you checked out his pieces that he's been putting up in ny?

@starfishncoffee I love that he hugged and kissed the customers. Fantastic.

banksy never w this is a rip offould stand on street selling ar

Big caca balls.

@mysteriouskat Wonder if the tourists who purchased it had any idea what they were buying..

Who cares! There are so many better artists throwing up pieces everyday in NYC

WHO GIVE A SHIT. Your like CNN when a little white girl goes missing. All the updates have been about this hacks facile bullshit. Spray paint commentary for the mall going masses.

No, winning the lottery will be when those pieces end up in thrift stores.

Did they inform the people that they bought actual Banksy pieces? That is like winning the lotto.

did u see it???? can u buy me the one with the little heart please ;) Wu Xiao Ying Ze

Yeah, and he only had 3 customers. We know.

So where can we find him? lol

Brandon Smith

No. He wasn't. Selling "art."

@Christopher McBride He could have sold them for far more at any place he wanted to. So he sold some to anyone that happened to walk by for 60$. I don't get how he is selling out there or laughing all the way to the  bank. Who ever bought one can go sell it today for far more money.

@katelynmichele5 me too

@AmandaVargo of course!!!! Incredible. Book recommendation: Wall and Piece.

@Janet Holowka No one who bought these knew the artist or even mentioned Banksy, they were just buying art.... I love your hateful ignorance.

@thenewcoolwc very awesome. yes.

@JeanGreasy I KNOW!! I’m sitting here grinning like a goober in this coffee shop.

@Vassavassa I'm guessing the idea was that they wouldn't.

@JeanGreasy 4 your next project? m.soundcloud.com/walter-blackbo…

@JeanGreasy I haven't made it up yet

@mysteriouskat and to think i live two block away. #missedinvestmentopportunity
