How Does Banksy Make Money?

How does Banksy actually make money? Is Banksy the graffiti artist rich or is Banksy poor?

The street artist known as Banksy belongs to what is sometimes called the “Bristol Scene,” which includes creatives from different genres, notably music. You’ve probably heard of some of the artists that are or were part of this scene, including Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky. Graffiti was also a big part of the scene, and while there were many artists around, the one you’ve all heard of is Banksy. His stenciling style is known all over the world, as are his attacks on the establishment and what he sees as human rights abuses. It’s said he was expelled from school as a kid, and took to the streets to paint on walls. No one is certain who he really is as he keeps his identity secret, although there is lots of speculation as to his real identity. But how does a disestablishment hero like Banksy actually earn a living? Welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, How does Banksy make money?

"I don't need the money, dear. I work for art." - Maria Callas

🤔 Really?

[brendan]

kinda pisses me off that other people are making money of HIS works

[aidand.]

This dude is quite literally a modern day artistic Robin hood

[KingDayDayDay]

"I wish my art would stay where it meant to stay"

Every graffiti artist's wish. Also, every graffiti artist's realization is that it never lasts forever.

[RickyHGV]

It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.

[SimonTheKid]

If Banksy paints on Trump's wall will they tear down the wall?

If I were Banksy, instead of being angry of my art having great value, I would go to an estate/project full of struggling people and paint on their properties (cars, bikes, etc.), so they can later sell it and make easy millions. It's a great way to understand capitalism and help the poor.

[dlibby]

I live in one of his early cities, and often walk by his work. Its a shame that some is taken away to be sold. It makes the history and culture of our city. Greed knows no bounds.

Ill answer your question





He has another job.

[felixebanks]

Was expecting him to say, ”how does banksy, make bank?”

[mr.gingus]

This man has the power to give anyone $100k+ whenever he wants

[anushkasingh]

He should draw on the walls of orphanages and shelters. Or property belonging to someone poor.

[VanLyfe]

Poor Banksy, this is disgusting. He's a beautiful artist and we shouldn't sell it. It's street art!

[Anon-ekck]

Banksy could be reading this.. hi Banksy, love you:)

[Yesnog]

He needs a patreon. He's one of the very few artist I truly respect and support

[utterlove]

Way to talk nonstop for 8 minutes without answering your own

[aidantruax]

If I bought one of those paintings for 60$ I'd have kept it. It's worth more as a story than the $100, 000 you'd get for it.

Banksy is basically a troll except that he makes money from it
