The auction features work from artists who participated in the Paint (Red) Save Lives global art campaign earlier this year, which saw an army of over 30 artists supporting (Red) and the AIDS fight by creating extraordinary, unique murals and installations in more than 20 cities from New York to Nairobi.
The auction features more than 40 pieces and is hosted on the Artsy platform. Online bidding is open now and will close on Tuesday, December 17th, at 5:00 pm Est. To learn more and register to bid, visit Artsy.net/red. Fifty percent of proceeds from the sale will go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Jennifer Lotito, Chief Operating Officer of (Red) said, “We’re so grateful for the phenomenal support of the artists contributing to the Paint (Red) Save Lives auction. AIDS is the biggest killer of young women globally, but this shocking statistic doesn’t make headline news these days.

I love Banksy‘s work most because of how it comments on the commodification of art. Here’s a world-renowned master who refuses to authenticate anything he’s done on the street—his canvas of choice. He does this as a stand for the form, for what graffiti has always been. The pieces he stencils are site-specific both in the sense of the wall and the country for which he’s commenting politically. They are simultaneously powerful and fleeting. They strike a chord internationally, spark conversation, provide a sense of awe and celebrity, and then disappear. Others tag over them. Owners cover them with paint. And both are okay considering they aren’t meant to be permanent. It’s less about beauty and aesthetics than emotion and context. They’re rendered immortal by their deaths.

It's unclear whether the infamously mysterious street artist Banksy is actually a part of this documentary or if it's just his work that's featured in it, but in any case, Saving Banksy is a doc that debates the merits of art vs. graffiti and tries to answer the question of whether or not street art should stay in the street. It's a somewhat complicated topic, and one that the film's talking heads are certainly passionate about (heads up: there's some Nsfw language in here).
They really missed a golden opportunity to call this Saving Mr. Banksy and riff on the Disney title Saving Mr. Banks. No release date has been announced yet, so keep your eyes peeled for this one, which seems likely to hit VOD more than your local multiplex.
