Gulfstream: 27 September 2008

Probably the nice thing to do: Banksy is refusing to authenticate five works up for auction this weekend: “Pest Control does not authenticate street pieces because Banksy prefers street work to remain in situ and building owners tend to become irate when their doors go missing because of a stencil.” Also: “[Banksy] would encourage anyone wanting to purchase one of his images to do so with extreme caution, but does point out that many copies are superior in quality to the originals.”
