Banksy and Degas in ballet art sale
The article below is on the London Newspaper (6-Feb. 2007) worte by KATHARINA HIBBERT
DEGAS' classic ballerina work is to line up with Banksy's more contemporary take on the dancers in day two of the world's biggest ever art sale.
The work is among hundreds of pieces going under the hummer in London in a record-breaking auction set to top £500 million. Sotheby's and Christie's are wall to wall with billionaires set to snap up museum-quality art work on display.
Almost £100 million changed hands in three hoursat a frenzied Sotheby's last night, a European record.
One impressionist master-piece, L'Homme au Foulard Rouge by Chain Soutine, sold for almost £9 million, the highest price in the sale.

Interesting enough, it seems "Banksy art" almost become part of "High Art".
