Usually they have the auction pieces at the front. Why was this contentious and famous one at the back?

He’s said he doesn’t like the extortionate amount spent on art. I doubt Sotherbys would be in on that. I reckon he planned the whole stunt. Like a dramatic installation. I like it!

They got more than they bargained for as the catalogue price of the work immediately tripled.

Banksy is famously from Bristol but that's about all most people know.

The purpose of that artwork was allegedly to show that art is not an object you can own but a personal feeling you have about the work. That feeling can be positive or negative.

And that's down to Wilfred Owen

What a complete waste of school hours. Where on earth would you ever need to use Latin? Kids are better off learning mandarin, it's the future business world language, sorry to say.

They aren’t great at art either.

You think so?




Albrecht Dürer - Der Ritter, Tod und der Teufel




Caspar David Friedrich - Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer




Otto Dix - Die Skatspieler




Käthe Kollwitz - Die trauernden Eltern


Not a gram of artistic talent between them.
