CultureBanksy pokes fun at record art pricesTom Teodorczuk|Evening Standard5 April 2012This is Banksy's take on last week's record-breaking art sales.An auctioneer is attempting to persuade a packed house to buy a canvas emblazoned with the message: "I Can't Believe You Morons Actually Buy This S**t."But the guerrilla artist himself was one of the stars of last week's auctions, netting £372,000 from six artworks sold at two Sotheby's auctions.Bombing Middle England, a spray paint on canvas work, set a record for Banksy at auction, selling for £102,000 last Wednesday. A day later Ballerina With Action Man Parts, a painted resin figure, sold for £96,000.However it would seem from Banksy's latest work, posted on his website, that he shares the view that silly money is being paid out at art auctions.Last week Sotheby's raised £186million including more than £5 million from the sale of Peter Doig's White Canoe, while Christie's made £200million, with Francis Bacon's Papal masterpiece, Study For Portrait II, netting them £14 million.MORE ABOUTAuctions
