Lesson learned
When it comes to the lesson of this story, we don’t really know what to say here. Is the art world overpriced and corrupted by greed? That is unfortunately probably the case with a lot of private dealers and collectors who are in it for all of the wrong reasons.
But when it comes to the world of Banksy, we just don’t know what else there is to mention. The artist is still looking for truth in a world that makes no sense and trying to find out what drives people to do what they do. Will he ever break free from the trap of fame? Only the future will tell.
