- Banksy has outdone himself. His "Devolved Parliament" painting just set a new sale record for his work at Sotheby's in London. The auction house expected the painting to fetch up to $3 million. When the gavel came down and the fees were tacked on, an anonymous buyer paid more than $12 million to take this piece home. "Devolved Parliament" depicts chimpanzees filling the chairs of Britain's House of Commons. InsideEdition.com's Mara Montalbano has more. #InsideEdition
These rich blokes don’t understand that the painting is actually them
Ron don't think they care
Ron what does blokes mean?
Adam Othman a man
BASICALLY
Just triggered yo ass is broke 🤣
I would buy so many things with 12 million a painting ain't one
Exactly. Wouldn't even register on my mind. I'd be me and my parents a nice house. Nice truck and car. Build a buisness
Jesse Carson The people who buy this literally have hella money that they can. Spend on top of that
@@jessecarson3021 could by 12 very nice houses, and even a mansion in some placea with that amount of money
@@evidence7338 I know right evidence..you could buy a very nice mansion. Have your own maid and cook. Nice big swimming pool. Basketball court. Acres of land..you could live it up.
You really think the buyer only had 12 million? That’s probably chump change to him.
This is why Banksy paints on public buildings, he wants to share his art with the world. Art is to be enjoyed by everyone, not just the rich elite who can buy whatever they want.
Ur mad ur poor kid
@@bigchungus3589 *You're* mad *You're* Dumb, kid.
@@bigchungus3589 ur just as poor. Simp
All these kids calling you “poor” buh these kids don’t even have a job, they rely on mommy and daddy’s allowance 🤦🏽♂️
@@DryHotDabs They're all probably twelve 😂😂😂
That’s more then my entire family blood line has ever made
That's extremely sad. Im 25, only make 14/hr, and have already made about $200,000 since i started working at 17. Your average person will make $1,000,000- $2,000,000 in a lifetime.
serious Dopamine Spend that money wisely and you could be looking at 1-2 million in just a few years.
@@seriousdopamine4404 he must be from Alabama and work at a thrift store. Don't be rude
@@seriousdopamine4404 that doesn't apply to decades and centuries ago
@@Vevxo you shouldn't have to date back that far. If your average person makes 1-2 million in a lifetime. Then between you, your siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents would easliy make over 12 million throughout the blood line. If you have to include relatives from centuries ago just to make up a total of 12 million in your entire blood line then somethings wrong.
could you imagine having so much money you spend 12 million dollars on something you'll glance at twice a year
It's an investment give it a few years and it'll be worth more than 12 million
If I was worth hundreds of million, probably.
Actually it is used for money laundering.
Bit like their wives
The buyer probably wouldn't even hang it. They just get safely stored away. Like a bar of gold.
Banksy is unknown.
The buyer is unknown.
Plot twist: Banksy himself bought his own painting.
Double plot twist: i bought it so conspiracy theorists like you could be occupied thinking banksy bought it
@@user-fp5co6qn7h triple plot twist..."you can't even pay rent." 🥴🥴🥴
I bought it
I nicked it. Check your vaults.
Plot twist: The anonymous buyer is banksy himself.
Damn
@Eternally Profound Not if he's getting world media coverage. If he buys one painting all his other paintings go up in value and if he's painting them he can make a fortune. It's called supply and demand. He bought this painting for 12 million but in a few years he might be able to sell it for 15 million simply because now it's valued at 12 million.
@Eternally Profound Who knows. No one can answer that question but him. Maybe Banksy is just a made up persona by some billionaire? Who knows.
Do u think he will be willingly paying the taxes on the sale?
M999999999 makes sense :) that’s why his name is called “bank”-see?
Ah! I spent 12 million dollars but I finally have it!
*painting shreds it self*
I think you missed the part where it shredding increased it's value.
Excellent - worth more now
The shredder malfunctioned and only half shredded it so it's worth more now since I guess the planting was about hope and the shredded pieces reflect how half of the words hope is gone?????
Idk I'm not so much of an art guy
*I was waiting for the painting to be shredded* 😂
As a British citizen, I love this piece purely because it accurately describes what's going on in the house of commons right now XD
Does inside edition know that this painting was painted before Brexit
The Irish Empire no they’re libtards
That's the point
Way before it.
That’s why he painted it...?
The Irish Empire do you mean before the actually vote? Or before the whole Brexit idea ever came into existence? Because if it was painted before the vote than can it still be detected to it seeing how people were already talking about and voicing there thoughts on the event years before it even took place?
That guy at 0:20 has the most punchable face I've ever seen.
Lmao so true
I had assumed you were just a mean person until i looked... wow ur right
Ha! Definitely.
He probably has that really elitist rich laugh where he annunciates each laugh like "uhHA HA Haaaaa"
True, but then I forgot all about him and violence when that girl appeared in the next shot
I mean, the painting is pretty accurate for the USA.
@Tommy Hammernots cept, it is.
Eons Infinity Cept, its made about Britiaj
Randal Riesett ikr
@@wheezybeans4372 it should b about America lol
@@wheezybeans4372 I am well aware its made for Britain house of parliament. Obviously the OP and I were thinking it resembled our political system as well.
I’ve never understood why art is so expensive let alone why someone would pay that much
Money laundering
Its a weird flex among rich people
Allaan Snackbar tax deduction
a lot of it is artificial bidding
Drugs , unpaid taxes, slavery, fraud, corruption, money loundering any crimes you can think off you name it ....this is the real value off art .
He should paint America's Congress as a bunch of clowns
Clever...
U only need to paint half clowns
@@kevinnguyen8631 And the rest will be in a small clown car with their main clown leader on the hood
Anyone want to buy my painting of an apple bitten for just $10 million
@SEAN INGRAM guess he didn't really want to sell it...
0:44 This wasn't anything to do with Brexit. This was done long before the Brexit vote even happened.
Dang it’s so accurate, could be a picture of governments all over the world.
It’s always people who don’t have money that like to tell other people how to spend their money
hope he filmed the process of this one, it's incredibly painted.
He’s gonna make every work of art secretly self destructive just for these instances
Imagine Banksy (or associate) must have been in the room to initiate this greatness!
Let's hope it devalues the painting for those "self-absorbant" buyers!
Where did they get the painting.
How is he not the owner of his painting and not getting any of the money?
next their will be a bomb in one of the paintings
Wouldn’t be surprised if he bought it.
Did anyone even think that Banksy was in the auction of the balloon painting
Woah, I think you're the very first. Quick, call the local news! *HEY EVERYBODY, WE GOT A GENIUS RIGHT HERE!!!!*
That's why Banksy paint these works of art for free bc he wants everyone, regardless of stature, to appreciate them, and not just to let them stay at homes as part of their private collection. If he still owned some of his artwork, I doubt he wants it for the money. But even if he did, I'm sure he would have donated them to the people who need it the most, especially in this time of crisis.
*The fact that he doesn't get even one cent from that 12 million.*
Really why
@@elilipman3088 he donated it and they sold it
That royalty-free music in the background is annoying asf
This is a hell of a piece. It basically sums up all his work.
How did they get a hold of his paintings
why tf did a beat play in the middle of the video
Where do people even acquire these paintings in the first place
Truly I can see him doing a puzzle one that has 6 total but in all spells out something
If no one knows him how do people get the paintings
Wait how does the auction people get the painting off Banks
How did these guys obtain banksy's painting before auctioning them in the first place?
They acting like money is a toy
This reminds me of Jumanji!
Hey guys, I just dropped a song called "Focus". Is it 🔥 or 💩?
Lil Mystique bad
Lil Mystique sucks
So then how did the painting get out ???
The guy called it 'Banksby' right at the beginning lol
They always think its them...
Thats a charleston heston movie!
All from a graffiti artist that people would criticize for “vandalizing” walls. Now your buying his art for millions
Such an Amazing artist haha i love it!! Like who thinks of a shredder in a painting.
I got a ad that was a girl saying banksy while praying infront of the destroyed "girl with balloon" painting for 17 seconds
Lol me too 😂
Itz Phizz same
English isn't your first language?
Erza Shado That means they know two languages.
I just can’t understand why someone would spend 12 million on a single painting that’s more than I’ll ever make
Why doesn’t he just donate his art to museums ?
Why don't you just work you're everyday job for free?
General Tomahawk nothing wrong with getting paid 🤑
If someone dies in a living room, is it still a living room?
Kevin Pawl wtf
Why do you have 3 comments if i may ask
Lmao idk
I’m surprised it didn’t try to self destruct
Weird soundtrack choice
Does Banksy get any part of these sales? I’ve always wondered.
So, this guy has a problem with his government, his identity, the price of his paintings, what else now? Sounds like he is a troubled individual.
You must be fun at partys
Matthew Blevins he just likes to complain
I don’t think you get it.
BasicallyItsJust Selena Bansky is just an edgy communist
I remember when that auction happened and the girl with the balloon was shredded. It was freaking hilarious! Well done Banksy! Way to play the prank long game sir!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤑🤑🤑
I think he pretends he didn’t want them sold to keep the mystique about himself and his paintings.
Unhappy Attendant Ughh It’s pretty obvious if he hated it he would stop
Salvador Prado for real
He’s just trying to be an edgy artist
Yeah, I bet the fact that he paints illegally, on walls, anonymously, works that will be destroyed in a matter of weeks, that specifically criticize class divide and consumer culture offers no clue indicating geniuine disdain for big ostentatious auctions of any kind, let alone art auctions.
How do they get these though? Does he sell them?
I heard that resellers that he sold them to sell them or people rip down art from walls he's made something on and sell them
@@deathsson7401 Damn, ripping of a damn wall
@@drazgul9403 there's a really good documentary on banksy. Most of the art he's done was on walls on the streets and people have taken them and put them in art galleries or resold them. Banksy has never approved of them doing so
@@drazgul9403 Id rip a wall down for 13mil any day
Wow it did not shred its self?
She said 12 billion but it says 12 million in the title.
How can they sell his work without his permission?
Im sad it didn’t shredded too!
What is that music
The art world is beyond me
“One of many ways Bansky has artistically expressed his opposition to Brexit”. Utter nonsense - Brexit vote was 2016 and not even being talked about 2 years earlier; the painting was painted in 2009, 7 years before the referendum.
Sooooo he didn't criticize the sale lol
I didn't know he could actually paint. Beautiful painting
He criticizes it didn't sell for more.
Plot twist: the auctioneer is actually Banksy 👀
see..now thats' a clever comment :0)
m4ck m4n thx
You say that as if you think the auctioneer keeps the money.
@Eternally Profound You're so woke dude wow
How did they intentionally look for a shredder and not find one?
How does one hide a shredder that well???
That is actually him in the thumbnail don't you know.
Nothing against the artist. In fact, I admire his cause. But can someone please explain how these auctioneers get possession of his work if he's so against it?
Lol he shredded his last piece that’s good.
Wait I don’t understand how they get there hands on his work can anyone explain please and thank you
@tyvek05 Banksy doesn't sell his work he donates or gives them to friends, family, and etc.
I wish I had that kind of money
@@mydude8731 I wish
@Eternally Profound Apart from money
It would have brought more, if the title had been corrected. It is Evolved parliament...Devolved parliament is what we already have!
£12,000,000 is about $17,000,000
How did the auction people get the painting in the first place?
Hmm 🤔
Does this make sense to anyone?
Dalmain J exactly, what is this reporter even saying? She’s all over the places.
Ink packet from a bank robbery
explodes from the canvass next time
Yo anyone else think that the hands taking the picture (seen in the clip capturing the moment the girl with balloon painting started to shred) seem to trigger the shredder in the painting’s frame?
The camera’s button even seems strangely long and more like a retrofitted trigger than a typical camera... find this guy!!
Incredible devolved parliament is one of my favourite pieces
What background music did they use fro this video can anyone tell me in the comments the first one
How did they get all of banksys paintings
Banksy should make a painting of an amount itself on the canvas, like a pricetag or something lol
How does he still not own it?
@0:16 is that Sydney goodman lmfao
Understanding more and more why he shredded that one piece
I've always wondered if Banksy is one person or a group of people acting as one entity
Wow out of all the things that could have been bought with all that money
He’s become everything he hates
banksy the homophobe
@@Evan-ke2lo If he a homophobe i love him even more
Maybe he's just blending in, like a double agent in another country.
Kevin Nguyen poor you
@@Evan-ke2lo how is he a homophobe?
The first NFT
That painting is incredibly detailed
How much did the shredder go for?
Ok wtf is up w the music
Could the music in this news article be any more obnoxious?
If he painted a good few of them the would the one sold at auction go down in Worth?
That's a REAL artist!
How geting that money
At least the rest of us get to see the art via the media, even if not in person.
Historically, artworks were stored away in rich people's houses and never seen by most of the population.
Banksy's work is all about the message and having it make such crazy prices like this, only serves to increase its exposure worldwide.
The irony of this is gold
Well Banksy you can still do paintings. You just have to take a picture then upload it to Reddit. Just make sure not to sell the painting. 👌🏻
