Banksy is both a phantom and a phenomenon. To this day, the artist’s identity remains a secret, but his graffiti, prints, paintings and installations are cult and fetch millions at auction. On Thursday, some of his famous ‘rat’ works will go under the hammer again in Los Angeles – while the Urban Art Festival will soon take place in Amstetten (20/21 July). There, others are literally bursting with ideas. Also thanks to Banksy…
His true identity is a secret, there is only speculation. Some say that the Brit Robin Gunningham is behind it. Others think it is singer Robert Del Naja of the British band Massive Attack. Some still suspect “Mr. Brainwash” Thierry Guetta from the movie “Exit Through the Gift Shop”. Some suspect a woman. But a collective is also possible. The fact is: Banksy is both a phantom and a phenomenon.
