For sale in LA: a building with a Banksy OR a Banksy with a building? Josh Niland2022-09-05T09:00:00-04:00>2024-10-25T04:07:38-04:00

Now that girl — as well as the historic building in the downtown fashion district that serves as her canvas — is for sale to the highest bidder.</p></em><br /><br /><p>The historic 26,000-square-foot Downtown Los Angeles building was purchased for $4 million three years prior to the popular documentary's premiere and underwent a $1.8 million renovation before its then-owners filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April this year.</p>

(“This is free public art. It is not meant to have a commercial value and be resold. That’s not the intention of the artist.”) The best estimate from the previous owners was reportedly $16 million without the girl, which Sotheby’s placed at a minimum of $10 million standing alone. A resolution will come when the building goes to auction on October 6th. <br></p>

<p>According to Deloitte, the nearly 2,000-year-old Flavian amphitheater is worth exactly $79 billion. Its estimate is derived principally from responses to a survey that begged Italians a variety of questions pertaining to the perception of the Colosseum, of which the overwhelming majority — $75 billion — was ascribed to “social value.”</p>
