BANKSY DOES NEW YORK

Readers in the New York area who love modern art should not miss the Banksy opening at the Vanina Holasek Gallery on W 27th Street, on December 2. Remember, Banksy is the guerrilla artist from the UK who secretly altered 500 of Paris Hilton’s CD’s when they were released and his version was sold in Virgin and other stores. He replaced her CD with his own remixes with titles like “Why Am I Famous?” and he changed her photos – in one she has a dog’s head. His subversive stunt was very successful – not one person who bought the revised Paris CD tried to return it! Can you IMAGINE what they’re worth now? Angelina Jolie recently paid $400,000 for a Banksy painting, and Jude law and Kate Moss are collectors too, so the show might be a celebrity magnet. (Yes, that’s Kate Moss with the orange hair, above)

   banski is INCREDIBLY OVERRATED.
   his work is simplistic– it has NO SOUL or ORIGINALITY.
   basically, he’s a NO-TALENT that all the celebrities are falling for — HOOK, LINE & SINKER.
