A fun article in this month’s Wired magazine explores the life and work of Bansky, a self-described ”art terrorist” who, among other accomplishments, snuck his works into four of New York’s major museums in a single day. Says Bansky:
”Art’s the last of the great cartels….A handful of people make it, a handful buy it, and a handful show it. But the millions of people who go look at it don’t have a say.”
He claims a major motivation of his work, in the high arts and elsewhere, is to “show that money hasn’t crushed the humanity out of everything.”
