Banksy Donates Flock

I'm afraid Banksy's latest painting Go Flock Yourself (2008) doesn't impress me. Nor does the fact that he's put it up for auction to raise funds for The Prince's Trust. Maybe I'm being cynical, but this strikes me as a ploy to increase the price of an inferior painting and to curry favour with the Royal Family at the same time. Hoping for an MBE, are we, Banksy? This work and others will be on display in three exhibitions in Ultralounge at Selfridges department store, London. The first opened today. All the works will go under the hammer on 26 February. The auction is a first for Selfridges (title link).
