A Banksy is being auctioned off in Bonhams, London today. If you fancy that piece for your living room, I hope you can afford to spend about 100.000 Euros, the generally estimated price. (see lot!)
The discussed piece was originally planned for the Greenpeace exhibition: „Save or Delete“ denouncing deforestation. Banksy represented characters of the Jungle Book, about to get their heads chopped off. The children's best friend, Disney, however objected and made legal threats so that the artwork was never circulated as posters.
Now, not only is it a Banksy (and as a stylish mac-using up-to-date twittering retro-style marketing expert, you definitely should own a Banksy), it is also a forbidden jewel. We'll later see how high the bidding will go!
However, if that's not quite your price range, try it on ebay, it's nearly as cool!
