There is nothing new under the sun as they say and the the the "they" are sometimes the "we".
Banksy made moves again. Banksy’s homage to artist (Albert Bierstadt) ‘rallied against the industrial revolution’s destruction of nature’ goes at auction following concerns about its depicted subject.
To create “Subject to Availability,” Banksy “hijacked” an 1890 painting by artist Albert Bierstadt, said a Christie’s spokesperson. Though Bierstadt, a German American painter, lived in New York, he frequently visited — and painted — the American West during his lifetime.
Bierstadt was a fitting conceptual reference for Banksy’s reckoning with climate change. As a spokesperson for Christie’s explained, Bierstadt was a member of the Hudson River School, a group of painters who “railed against the industrial revolution’s destruction of nature.”
Banksy built upon that commentary by adding an asterisk and a tiny bit of corporate-speak to the painting’s bottom right-hand corner: “*Subject to availability for a limited period only.”
OTHER STUFF TOO.....
