I don't get how not being authorised by Banksy makes it a fake. I don't think authors need to authorise an exhibition of their work to make it "real". Btw, just outside the Moco in Amsterdam there's the van Gogh museum. Did van Gogh authorise that exhibition?
- milin 8y agoMay be it was my wrong choice of words. I don't know why but while I was there, if felt as it was co-ordinated with Banksy. Knowing it was not authorized, kinda feels like they were not 100% honest.
- Udik 8y agoWell, it's not your choice of words, it's Banksy's own website that calls them "fake" exhibitions. And I don't think he's right: the works are real, so the exhibition is real. Of course, once released, a work of art has a life independent of that of the author.
