    Thing is, as an artist and sculptor...If the majority of people set enough time in a year to return to their innate creativity (we are children of creation), they'd probably find in a good couple years they could produce this work, similar or better themselves...Seriously. Its funny though how banksy does work to question the system basically...Yet it's the system, the rich and wealthy that always end up owning his work...

    You hit the nail on the head!!! There are a good few videos on various video sharing channels and underground articles that tell you that that is EXACTLY what is going on! That no painting on earth is worth that much...its just oil on a canvas. Sure a piece will mean more to some than others but NOOOO artworks subjective meaning is worth millions of $...Please continue with your line of thinking...This whole thing is a scam!
