BANKSY in NYC


Heyo.

The hip of the New York City hip are all-a-chatter as London’s most mysterious and popular street artist, BANKSY, has come to town—or has he? (truth is, no one knows who he is, except for Brad Pitt and people like that.)

BANKROBBER, Banksy's latest show—his first in NYC—is showing at the Vanina Holasek Gallery (502 W. 27th St. @10th Ave, Manhattan) from December 2 thru December 29th. BANKSY’s iconoclastic graffiti prints, agitprop and signature rat-traps (lining the railings!) are on display in the Gallery's converted three-story apartment building. Make sure you look at the scrawled pencil prices next to each piece (if you can afford $115,000, maybe you'd like to buy one for me?).

While you’re there with your friends, take the time to do some more “gallery-hopping” in the Chelsea area. Pop in-and-out of the galleries along 27th St. and see what's happening in the art world today—walking through the gallery doors is totally FREE, making it event cheaper a High 5 Museum Pass.

enjoy!
