Banksy Sells Orig­i­nal Paint­ings Worth $40,000 For $60 Each in New York Stunt || Art Sale

British street artist vir­tu­al­ly 'gives away' works sold at non-de­script look­ing mar­ket stall - and just three peo­ple buy Elu­sive British street artist Banksy has sold sev­er­al orig­i­nal works of art for just $60 (£38) each from a stall in New York's Cen­tral Park. The an­ar­chic painter, who loves noth­ing more than tak­ing the mick­ey out of the art world, re­leased a video last night of an el­der­ly man sell­ing what look like knock-offs of the artist's work from a mar­ket stall on Sun­day. But the 'knock-offs' were ac­tu­al­ly orig­i­nal pieces paint­ed and signed by the artist who is cur­rent­ly ex­hibit­ing in the city. The two and-a-half minute video, cov­er­ing from 11.15am to 6pm, shows just eight of his paint­ings being sold - four to one man from Chica­go, two to a mum (who shrewd­ly ne­go­ti­ates buy­ing two small can­vas­es for the price of one) for her chil­dren and two to a young woman tourist from New Zealand. The day's tak­ings were £420, but the like­ly val­u­a­tion of the small to medi­um sized can­vas­es is prob­a­bly about £140,000 - up to £20,000 each. In the video the in­nocu­ous-look­ing white-haired street ven­dor, wear­ing a base­ball cap and woollen vest, is seen sit­ting for long pe­ri­ods of time with noth­ing to do and yawn­ing oc­ca­sion­al­ly. It's not until 3.30pm that he makes his first sale But with each pur­chase the man hugs or kiss­es the buyer grate­ful­ly and in a way that hints per­haps they are leav­ing with an in­cred­i­ble bar­gain.
