The crazy underspray is uncharacteristic of Banksy. It looks like the artwork was intentionally made to look like ripoffs.

#42Wtf? "Better Out Than In" is a stupid title. Please restore the original title, "Banksy sells original artwork for $60; valued at $750k". It's meaningful.

#43420 USD for a day's work is almost ten times more than I make. Should I go to NYC and put up a stand? :)
I'm glad for the buyers.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Really? Most of my 20-something american friends can't shut up about him.
Social network bias. Ask you're MOM's friends, not your friends.
Actually my parents sent me an email last week with links to Banksy's work :) (also, they are French, not American, so it's not a very useful test regardless)

#46I'm curious what effect this will have on the prices of Banksy knockoff works.
Re: Banksy Art Sale in Central Park [video]
#47I would like to know where this $750K number is coming from. Generally Banksy originals of this kind are priced closer to low five-figures, but if someone has inside knowledge here please share. This article puts the value at around 20K pounds: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/banksy-sells-origina...
Anyone else take a look at that sort of price tag and ponder whether they're in the wrong business? :P
It's amazing what top-shelf reputation is worth in almost any industry.

#48I love it. This is like the Sci Fi novel (Heinlein I think, Lazarus Long) where I learnt that for the bank which issues the money, money really is just paper.

#49On a similar note, there is the story of Joshua Bell (a famous violinist) playing in a subway station and virtually everyone walked by.

I logged in just to upvote this sentiment. The original title was very clear. It let me decide whether or not I was interested.
The new title makes no sense. I'd be highly likely to simply pass over it.
