The Telegraph has a moderately interesting article on the street art market and how it is blowing up. So much so, that Sotheby's in London is dedicating an entire section of its December 12th Contemporary auction to Street Art.
I guess it is time to turn off my inner voices that keep telling me to doubt, and just embrace the success of the artists that I have watched go from unknown to mildly famous in some circles. I just hope that the 'street' artists do not lose the sight of what made them initially identifiable, which after all was the street.
And as far as the "next Banksy" goes, I don't think you will be able to find them until after 2012, and certainly not in the street.
