Banksy’s reimagining of Claude Monet’s impressionist water lilies has fetched more than £7.5m at auction, easily surpassing expectations.
Sotheby’s should start auctioning memes soon
He should be donating the money if the painting is really to bring attention to the problem of pollution
trailerparkboys everyone is saying this is about wasteful consumerism but I am sure it's about Bubbles
This is stupid but I get it! Exceptions like this is where I won’t really complain 7.8m damn.. -thought I had expensive taste buds!
The biggest fraud since Damien hirst...
“Banksy” is a political cartoonist and nothing more.
Against the 'wasteful excesses of consumerism' and sells for £7.5 million. Ironic.
This feels more like a George Shaw painting....
Who’s Banksy?
Banksy should be called Pranksy. He's suckering the art world beautifully.
从此班克斯一生黑👿
A weak idea, poorly executed. What hope is there for the future of thoughtful painting when this facile drivel is sucking all of the oxygen out of the room?.
Simple visual puns executed poorly. The non-thinking persons artist.
This happens when Art turns into currency supported by a market for art. That also works with referential art. I gave up and put my 'The Ancient of Bad Hair Days' into public domain.

Isn’t it perverse? Probably no question that Banksy still has his anti-capitalist morals in tact but hes lost control of his paintings which are being sold by capitalists for obscene amounts of money
It seems more like a soulless powerful production publicity advertisement manufacturing corporation run like Apple,that influence & inflate prices for venture capitalist investors,an artist producing art devoid of creativity,
The person buying this does not care about art. It will sit in a vault and be sold in 10 years for £15m.
I love Banksy's work, but framing the picture between the masked-up auction workers just adds to the 2020ness of the composition. 😂
There is one born every minute. If this isn't an advert for quitting your job and starting your own business I don't know what is.
Tell me again how Covid-19 has diminished the economy...
I like the one that shredded itself at auction.
One theme is the cost an other issue the most important is : the message . recycle oceanspraychallenge Permaculture Bansky he do it again . Just make conscience . To chance the world you need to starts chance in you’re community . And doart
It promptly burst into flames.
It's not even clever.
I would not want to see that on my wall when I got up in the morning, ugly
Maybe it's a typo and the figure is £7.50
That's enough money to feed starving people. Saying that, this painting would look great in a shed or garage space.
Can never get over how someone so anti-capitalist can sell his works for so much. Where does the money go?
Not sure what Banksy has lately turned into but I find him boring now.
Idiots man
Jesus it's not worth that enormous price I like banksy don't get me wrong but that is a ridiculous amount to pay
