You don't even need to remember what happened these days ago. A Banksy painting up for auction, and the seconds passing almost to a better life than the one the wealthy wanted to give him. Banksy uploading video to Instagram, and incidentally giving a good lesson with a phrase related to Picasso, but that did not come out of his mouth.
And is that Banksy is cool as an artist who seeks that his art can be seen by anyone, and does not pass into the hands of those, who will safeguard it in his eyes and that of a few others who will pass through his rooms, in which every centimeter costs its weight in gold. And that's why Banksy is cool.
And is that art belongs to no one but everyone. And if not, we concur in the creative principle of destruction. We take a rubber band and erase and re-create, and thus in a perpetual birth and death; As is our existence, here is the maximum principle for Banksy's work to cease to exist one day, but that life lesson will last for those who want to tie, who want to possess.
Just like the girl with the balloon that work disappeared before the astonishing sight of all those attendees of that auction. Sotheby's surely found himself in a bind, waiting to have in hand what he does not want to be.
Banksy is cool, right. Art as a life lesson so that 1.180.000 euros disappear as they came. And it will be Banksy who once again gives us another life lesson with some other painting that is trying to auction. They will take walls, stones and I do not know what more places where Banksy's graffiti has taken its space. But as art is, it will disappear to recreate itself and be reborn.
