Banksy, a world-renowned artist with a sharp social caricature, has launched an online store that sells T-shirts featuring his own works for a limited time. Banksy calls out to a wide range of people, “A rich art collector should refrain from purchasing.”
Banksy's online store has just opened and sells more than 20 products such as T-shirts and mugs featuring Banksy's work under the name “Gross Domestic Product”, meaning “Gross Domestic Product”.
Among them, there is a T-shirt with a motif of a painting that was shredded by a shredder immediately after it was sold for about 150 million yen at an auction last year.
A T-shirt with the skirt cut as if it was shredded is explained as “Maybe it cannot be washed in a washing machine” and is sold in Japanese yen for over 4000 yen.
Those who wish to purchase will select and register only one product by the 28th of this month, and in addition to drawing, the purchaser will select whether they can answer the question “Why art is important”? is.
While many of Banksy's works are priced in the hundreds of millions, online store prices range from 1400 yen to 120,000 yen. Banksy calls for “rich art collectors to refrain from purchasing” to make the product available to a wide range of people.
