It's also worth watching the film "Exit through the giftshop" on Netflix. Goes over Banksy in decent depth, as well as some other famous street artists.

His work is awesome, but I'd argue the fact he can sell a red phone box chopped in half for $605,000 makes him part of the art establishment, not against it.

Warning: A little shameless self-promotion coming.<p>I wrote a blog post called What Street Artists Can Teach Us About Marketing, <a href="http://www.lylemckeany.com/2012/11/05/what-street-artists-can-teach-us-about-marketing/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lylemckeany.com/2012/11/05/what-street-artists-ca...</a><p>When doing some of the research for it, I came across this great quote from Banksy:<p>&#62;We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
