BANKSY

Banksy is perhaps the most mysterious and subversive artist alive, for years people have been trying to figure out who's behind these works.

King Robbo v Banksy - Graffiti Wars.

Internationally known graffiti artist, Banksy, left his mark on San Francisco in April 2010. Little did he know that this act of vandalism would spark a chain of events that includes one of his rats being removed from a wall, Museums ignorantly turning down a free Banksy street work, and a NY gallerist who has made it his business model to remove Banksy street works from all over the globe doing whatever it takes to get the rat in his possession.

This is a 2014 HBO documentary film directed by Chris Moukarbel about Banksy's Better Out Than In project. The documentary covers Banksy's one-month residency in October, 2013, in which the artist presented a new work of art daily and announced the locations via an Instagram account each morning. Among the artworks filmed and described are a cement sphinx, a truck of moving puppet farm animals driven and parked in front of various New York butchers and meat markets, paintings which were sold for a day in Central Park for $60 each which were then estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the Banality of the Banality of Evil which portrays a man dressed as a nazi peacefully sitting and looking out over an already existing landscape from - and then donated back to - a charitable thrift shop.
