A sad day. I'm not against modern art in any way, in fact I am on record here as being a great admirer of Banksy. I have been taken by his work for a few years and wondered a couple if times whether I shold buy an original piece - at a few hundred quid I should have :( I think great art should always 'say something' and not just be a 'picture' but a blue painted square with a red border says only one thing to me ! Regards Rod the Filistein Dino,
