BANKSY ART TO BE SOLD BY TWO LONDON LADS

TWO YOUNG CHANCERS FROM CLAPHAM RECENTLY SPENT £13,000TO REMOVE AN ART BY BANKSY FROM THE STREETS OF SOUTH LONDON AND HIT THE JACKPOT AFTER IT WAS VALUED AT OVER £500,000. BRADLEY RIDGE AND NICK LOIZOU ARE LIFELONG FRIENDS FROM SOUTH LONDON. ON 9.NOVEMBER LAST YEAR BRADLEY HEARD ABOUT A PIECE OF BANKSY STREET ART APPEARING ON BEDDINGTTON FARM ROAD IN CROYDON. BEING A FAN OF THE ILLUSIVE STREET ARTIST, BRADLEY THOUGHT HE WOULD SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY. NINE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS LATER, A FEW THREATS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE, £13,000 IN COSTS AND A DEAL WITH A LOCAL LAND OWNER, BRADLEY AND NICK NOW OWN A VERY RARE PIECE OF MODERN ART. THE COLLECTOR'S ITEM IS THE ONLY PIECE OF BANKSY STREET ART CURRENTLY ON THE ART MARKET. IN RECENT YEARS BANKSY WALLS HAVE FETCHED UP TO £300,000 AND CELEBRITIES SUCH AS BRAD PITT HAVE SPENT AROUND £400,000 ON HIS STUDIO ART. BRADLEY AND NICK HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE OFFER BUT ARE DETERMINED TO MAXIMIZE THEIR OPPORTUNISM.
