    How does Banksy actually make money? Is Banksy the graffiti artist rich or is Banksy poor?
    The street artist known as Banksy belongs to what is sometimes called the “Bristol Scene,” which includes creatives from different genres, notably music. You’ve probably heard of some of the artists that are or were part of this scene, including Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky. Graffiti was also a big part of the scene, and while there were many artists around, the one you’ve all heard of is Banksy. His stenciling style is known all over the world, as are his attacks on the establishment and what he sees as human rights abuses. It’s said he was expelled from school as a kid, and took to the streets to paint on walls. No one is certain who he really is as he keeps his identity secret, although there is lots of speculation as to his real identity. But how does a disestablishment hero like Banksy actually earn a living? Welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, How does Banksy make money?

      I lived in NYC during the late 80s/early 90s and I would see absolutely beautiful pieces painted over or power washed off walls. It killed me to see them get erased like that because a lot of them added to the liveliness of the area. Of course that's not counting the dumbasses that sprayed their tag name in black all over the place.

If Banksy's art is in the ghetto, the seller could be any kind of person, from a good but struggling family to a lone druggie. They would ask for a low amount, likely, but even then an easy $2000 helps alot. Now the buyers in the other hand... there's insufferable tokenism in England, especially in the modern art community. There's a chance someone whose been graffiti'd by Banksy could take advantage of that and sell his piece for a lot for their benefit. If I had 3 hungry mouths to feed, I would.

      Street art IS graffiti. A lot has a great meaning behind it but the ones you'll sometimes, and more often see, have no real meaning than just tagging.
      Back home , there is a great alley way as well as an underground culture for street art. São Paulo is where you find some of the greatest pictures I have seen.
      Banksy, however, I admire. Stands up for what's he believes in and I find myself agreeing.
      Art should be free to people who want to experience it and not sold just for rich people to trade here and there.
      Get tax right off and such. Leave street art be where people can see it and enjoy it.
      Where it was made to sit And be seen.
      Only art that should be sold is art that is specifically created to be sold. It's not a bad profession but it should only be sold with permission of the artist creating it.

      Cause anything can be art, it's all about perception. Someone tapping a pencil on a desk can just be simply that, or it could be music depending on how you perceive it. Anything can be held in high regard if enough people like it or can find meaning in it.

      Art, by definition, is something created rationally to express something. Banksy put the shredder on the frame with definitely an intent to criticize that kind of act. So, yes, probably you can consider it art.

  • @takkischitt
    @takkischitt 5 років тому +4

    First of all, Banksy is great, and I fully approve of his art and its meaning, intention and his ideology of giving his work freely, but I wish I knew more about how his art actually benefits the people the art intends to fight for. I'm sure a lot of his art which has been sold has gone into the pockets of someone who really doesn't need it, and surely not someone which the artwork was in tented to highlight/benefit. Its kind of tricky, and in NO WAY a criticism of Banksy, as his art does massively benefit the intended subject (maybe not via primary financing). And I'm pretty sure Banksy is probably extremely wealthy, certainly comfortable, so it's hard to take some of his artwork fully at its worth based on that. But let me say, again, Banksy's ideology is genius and can only be commended. His art really is true, true art and nothing, NOTHING (especially a mere UA-cam comment) , can take that away from him. I just struggle to see how his art style can, primarily, do anything more than line pockets of people who don't need it. Yes, the message gets out massively, but the weak, vulnerable and desperate really could do with the financial benefits. Maybe there is something to be said for for the owners of the canvases, in regards this... but if Banksy means what he means, surely he should consider the financial aspect for the people he's highlighting.
