Banksy Sells Original Artworks for $60 a Piece in Central Park

Street artist Banksy has set up a stall in New York's Central Park on October 12, selling his original pieces — worth tens of thousands of dollars each — for $60 a piece

The event was documented on video and posted on Banksy's website. It took several hours for the first artwork to be sold, to a lady who managed to negotiate a 50% discount for two small canvases. There were only two more buyers, and by 6PM the stall was closed with total earnings for the day being $420

For comparison, in 2007 Banksy's work "Space Girl & Bird" was sold for $578,000, and in 2008 his canvas "Keep it Spotless" was sold for $1,870,000 Read more...
