Unit 5: Consious Art (1ère AMC)

 (At the following of what we did last time)

People were shocked and surprised by this action.

The journalist even said that people at the auction got “Banksy-ed”. It means that they got pranked by Banksy’s action as they were unaware of what would happen to the piece of art.

Afterwards, Banksy posted a video of himself on Instagram revealing how he elaborated his prank. He even quoted Picasso: “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge”. In fact, he booby-trapped (a hidden prank) a painting frame in case one of his piece of art would be sold at an auction.

Through this action, Banksy wanted to denounce social injustice and consumerism in the world of art.

As a result, the final price of this stunt could bring him a minimum of 5 million dollars and it can even go up to 7 million dollars.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
