Angie And Brad Have Good Taste In Art

October 12th, 2007 // 19 Comments

I know the Most Beautiful Woman In The World is trying here, but that gaily colored Talbot’s top she’s wearing isn’t disguising the pallow of the tomb she’s got going on lately. She’s probably drained because she doesn’t do anything for herself. It’s all about dismantling land mines and having to pick up Maddox’s lazy ass from school everyday with this one. Luckily, her and Brad do find time to purchase some kickass edgy art. Seriously, I love this Banksy guy. Check it.

The glamourous pair managed to shell out a whopping £1 million on works by British “guerilla artist” Banksy at a contemporary art sale in London last night.

“Brangelina” were not there in person but still managed to nab the Banksy piece, with its huge pricetag.

Banksy started out by tagging buildings in London in new and exciting ways. Check out some of his work here. I wish I was able to chisel out some wall in Camden or something before his ass got famous. See, Angie and Brad can be selfish and accquire things, too! They’re not all about the world-saving. That’s not gonna fit with their Waldorf Towers decor, though.

    I don’t believe this story. That art doesn’t look like something they would want in their home(s). Brad may like “edgy” but this Banksy person is a bit too edgy in my opinion. He isn’t even as good as Besquiet (I know I spelled that wrong but, anyway).

    Yet another bogus Angie/Brad story!!

    Perez says today that they are now moving on from NYC, and Maddox is finished at the French private school.

    The Banksy “art” is sort of clever, but £1 million worth?

    No, I think it is quite possibly true Essie. A few months ago they were at an opening for Banksy (pics were posted here) and reportedly purchased from him at that time. What makes you so sure it was Brad’s purchase? Maybe Angelina has a few coins to spend on art too?

    I just checked out his website. I think it is rather good I would buy if I could afford it. As for edgy not so sure more statemental to me (IMHO).

    That bodyguard is quite fine. He’s in their photos a lot, always looking stern and brave. He’s actually finer than Brad.

    I have nothing to say about them buying art. Fair play to them. I hope it looks nice on the wall of the aeroplane.

  6. Eyes of Green

    That guy is brilliant! Sigh…reminds me of my rebelious days…I’d def spend the $ on one of his pieces, if I had it to blow.

    Thanks for the link to that site, that made my day.

  7. Zekers

    Ahha green, that’s why Angie is smiling…it’s that fine-ass body guard!

    I like most of Banksy’s work, but it’s totally fucked up when he uses live animals.

  9. someone

    She smiles a lot when shes around the bodyguard….hmmmm

    Ok…I have a question. Since the Brangelina family seems to be nomadic in nature where do they put the art they purchase?
    I also wonder if the kids take their big wheels with them on their wanderings or leave them by the curb for the trash man to take everytime they pull up stakes? How unsettling it must be for the kids to constantly move. I guess the concept of “home” is foreign to their parents so the kids are destined to never have one of their own.

    Sorry, but that Banksy dude’s art is crap.

    Was no one else disturbed by the policeman doing a pat down on a little girl?

  12. Leigh

    Angelina, beautiful!? Hardly.

  13. Hip Hop Is Shit

    Banksy is too try-hard and not the slightest bit clever.

    Angie is starting to resemble all the over botoxed holly weirdos. I better not mention her knobby sagging knee skin. She will be running to the plastic surgeon again.

  15. Gisele

    Ahhh…Banksy has only sold his own art once. That was at the LA show and that’s where Angie and Brad and other celebs bought pieces directly from him. Any other time Banksy’s art has been placed up for sale it has been stolen from where it was tagged on the streets by Banksy and placed up for sale by London Art Dealers. Banksy is not making any money off these art auctions but the Art Dealers and Auction houses are. The Art Dealers claim they are holding Banksy’s share of the sale in a special account if he comes forward and proves he’s really Banksy but that would defeat he’s purpose. He isn’t doing this for money – see the Palestine Wall Murals where he risked his life to make something beautiful for the people of Palestine. It’s all on his website maintained by his friends and cohorts.

    And Banksy’s art is amazing social commentary/satire/graffiti. The classical works he references are often too obscure for the average American who has no art history background. Someone who doesn’t know Poussin from Pollack wouldn’t appreciate Banksy.

    How wryly ironic is it that the person here who names him/herself “Hip Hop Is Dead” declares that Banksy, a geniusly original pictorial artist for this generation much as Warhol and Basquiat were for this last gen. were, and the Dadaists and the Surrealists and the Cubists of other generations from Braque, Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, fuckin’ whomever, were,

    Oy! shut up, li’l “hip hop is dead” hater. Oh, really? “Hip-Hop” is “dead?” Is that so? How FASCinating, thanks for the memo… You probably hate on orignal, non-conservative, fearless art, musical or painterly, because you must be secretly TERRIFIED by the relentless emptiness and hollowness of your own artless existence.

    Fuckin’ philistines, man. They’re everywhere, all the time.

    Banksy is the bomb; Brangelina’s got great taste.

    Idiot.

  17. T-Bone

    Not fond of the art, not fond of Angelina. Both trying to hard to be different and sexual. YAWN!

  18. blady02

    Bullshit! they have no taste at all not in children, politics or each other and box office poison! Ho go away!

    Hey. The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
    I am from Montenegro and know bad English, give true I wrote the following sentence: “Agreement with airline technology partner.”
