  • BANKSY’S TROLLEY HUNTERS AT SOTHEBY’S NEW YORK

    Banksy’s Trolley Hunters – a typically powerful, witty and prophetic critique of society’s often irrational predilection for processed and packaged products  – will make its auction debut at Sotheby’s Now evening sale in New York on November 18. It is estimated at $5-7 million. Painted over 15 years ago as an indictment against the excesses of consumerist society, the painting has arguably never been as relevant as it is today, with the disruption to the global supply chain having exposed the fragility of our fast-paced consumerist eco-system. UPDATE: THIS SOLD FOR $6.6 MILLION
