Banksy decorates a Circle Line train
Banksy reminds LU passengers to wear their masks. Amazingly, his elaborate
performance was on a busy in-service train, and was videoed by a collaborator: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCn800cFIbe/ I wonder if that has doubled the value of the S7 carriage? |

So four Banksy artworks each have been sold for more than the cost of such a carriage. The highest priced Banksy fetched more than the cost of a whole S stock train. |

Well quite possibly and as Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin have been proving for decades now - there are plenty of idiots who are willing to be parted from their money for utter tat. Ditto Banksys. But given he uses stencils he can recreate his "works" in seconds anywhere. Perhaps LU should have got him to stencil some A, D and C stocks before they went to the scappers. |

He is a bit of a Robin Hood figure though who by skilful timing and choosing of subjects has managed to progress from a graffiti vandal to folk hero. Just hope we don’t see copycats who. think it okay to start daubing messages inside vehicles because they think it has become socially acceptable .can just imagine the furore when someone daubs Black Lives Matter in a non artistic manner and it gets cleaned off because the mark resembles more the vomit resembling mess seen on Railway infrastructure rather than anything artistic.

Do they normally clean the graffiti from London trains, or only if the artist is famous? Or were they actually stealing it, and it'll reappear in a Cardiff gallery on a donor Pacer? |

The headline on the article must be wrong as well, because it refers to TfL not TfW. Don’t journalists check anything these days?

The so-called "artist" has committed criminal damage to the train, and should hopefully be sought, caught & prosecuted by the police. Failure to do that will only induce others to follow his example. |

Subcontracting/delegation to someone else to do the actual work while the artist was the "inspiration" (or project manager more like) seems to be fairly common in the art world. Even the old masters were at it. Slightly fraudulent IMO but YMMV. |

Yes, having their studio do most or all of the actual physical work is a long established tradition for artists great and not so great (like Hirst). We don't know if Banksy normally does that. But in this case, I think the artwork itself is the video, not the graffiti, which they knew would soon be removed. So, if Banksy designed the stunt and shot the video, than he could be said to have personally produced the artwork. The spray paint was just one of the materials used. |
