How Banksy Became the Establishment's Favourite Rebel
from Don't Praise The Machine (DPTM)
Banksy built his reputation as an anonymous, anti-establishment street artist, spray-painting subversive stencils, dodging the law, and thumbing his nose at the art world elite. So how did he end up with Brad Pitt, Christina Aguilera, and Westminster City Council singing his praises?We trace Banksy's full arc: from punk origins in early-90s Bristol, to A-list celebrity collector, to a Reuters investigation that may have finally unmasked the man behind the mask, and revealed something far more ordinary than the myth.We ask the uncomfortable question: is Banksy actually toothless? And has he always been? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
