Perhaps, for the first time in his career, Williams had to ask the crowd to follow social distancing measures by moving away from the front of the stage. “This is the reality of the day with Covid and we have to be safe” he said. “As, you know, there is nothing I like more than having a big gap between me and the people.”

It's something a lot of artists have done recently & given the current situstion it must be hard to record & work on new music, it was a very popular album & should do well & will be nice to hsve some new songs in there as well.

But in the reviews the new songs will be over shadowed by the remakes -and re-makes are never as good as the originals. It seems like a bit of a waste of a new album to me. At least now I understand why the 2022 calendar is a "Greatest Hits" calendar. Nice photos in it

TBH as long as he's busy and creative -it's always exciting to see what he comes up with.

Robbie Williams, who has built a huge fortune from record sales and concerts, is selling three works by Banksy, the anonymous street artist whose partially shredded painting Love is in the Bin fetched a record £18.5m last year. The pieces from Williams’s art collection – Kissing Coppers, Girl with Balloon and Vandalised Oils (Choppers) – are expected to sell for a total of between £7m and £10m. “These works unite the cultural legacies of two of Britain’s biggest stars: Robbie Williams and Banksy,” said Hugo Cobb of Sotheby’s. “Like their creator and like their owner, they are acerbic, iconic, irreverent and unique.” Kissing Coppers, which depicts two male British police officers in a passionate embrace, first appeared on the outside wall of the Prince Albert pub in Brighton in 2004. The original mural was removed in 2014 after being repeatedly vandalised. It has been interpreted as showing Banksy’s support for public acceptance of homosexuality, according to Sotheby’s. Williams’s version of the artwork is a painting on canvas from 2005, estimated to be worth £2.5m to £3.5m. Girl with Balloon made its debut under Waterloo Bridge in London in 2002. In 2018, a canvas version of the image passed through a shredder inserted into its frame moments after it sold for just over £1m. The work’s “self-destruction” was a global sensation. Williams’s version from 2006 is depicted on metal, and is the first of its kind to appear at auction. It has a price estimate of £2m to £3m. Vandalised Oils (Choppers), from 2005, features two military helicopters disrupting a serene pastoral landscape. It is part of a Banksy series that superimposes graffiti on classical oil paintings, and has an estimate of £2.5m to £3.5m. Williams said he believed his three Banksys were “some of his best paintings and I love how closely linked they are to the street pieces”. He added: “As a collector of Banksy’s work, you become part of a broader cultural movement.” The three works will go on display at Sotheby’s New York on Saturday for six days. They will then be available to view in Hong Kong and London before being sold on 2 March. A work by Banksy, whose real name has never been confirmed, that appeared on the wall of an electrical shop in Lowestoft, Suffolk, in August has been privately sold, it was reported this week. The image of a child with a crowbar was removed in November. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/20...rtworks-auction

BuzzJack Platinum Member Joined: 6 April 2016 Posts: 11,595 User: 23,135	Robbie Williams is to sell three of Banksy's most iconic paintings - with the auction set to earn the singer millions of pounds. Girl With Balloon, Kissing Coppers and Vandalised Oils (Choppers) will go under the hammer at Sotheby's in London on 2 March. The former Take That star said the paintings were some of the street artist's best work. "I remember seeing Girl With Balloon, Vandalised Oils (Choppers) and Kissing Coppers for the first time," he said."I believe they are some of his best paintings and I love how closely linked they are to the street pieces. As a collector of Banksy's work, you become part of a broader cultural movement." The classic pop-art image of Girl With Balloon first appeared under Waterloo Bridge in 2002. A version of it made headlines in 2018 after it was partially shredded at the end of a Sotheby's auction. Williams' version is on metal and will have a starting price of £2m. Kissing Coppers, which depicts two police officers in a passionate embrace, made its debut on the exterior of the Prince Albert Pub in Brighton in 2004. The original mural was removed after being repeatedly vandalised. Williams' version from 2005, estimated at £2.5m to £3.5m, will be the first Kissing Coppers painting on canvas to be auctioned, Sotheby's said. The third painting, Vandalised Oils (Choppers), features military helicopters disrupting a calm rural landscape and is part of a series of graffitied oil paintings. Like Kissing Coppers, the piece is valued at £2.5m to £3.5m. "These works unite the cultural legacies of two of Britain's biggest stars: Robbie Williams and Banksy," said Hugo Cobb, head of the Sotheby's event. He said the paintings are "acerbic, iconic, irreverent and unique", like their creator and owner. The artworks will be exhibited at Sotheby's in New York and then go on a global tour from Hong Kong to London before being auctioned in March. https://news.sky.com/story/banksy-robbie-wi...alloon-12520866

I do like his work though . He does a sale every now & then where he sells his paintings pretty cheap on the sidewalk ( Central Park 2013 ) so that ordinary folk can buy them, it turns out though that a lot of folk do not believe they are real & do not buy them & find out they were the real deal but it's too late then & they missed their chance I do know he has a cult following hence I guess the huge prices . Must be nice to have one of his paintings if you ere fan never mind owning several of them . . Rob seems to do better at buying paintings than he does with houses. https://www.theartstory.org/artist/banksy/life-and-legacy/

They will then travel back to London for the sale on March 2. “I believe they are some of his best paintings and I love how closely linked they are to the street pieces,” said the Let Me Entertain You singer. “As a collector of Banksy’s work, you become part of a broader cultural movement.” Williams has more Banksy artworks in his trove that he decided to hold onto for now. Hugo Cobb, head of “The Now” section, said they had been discussing a sale with the pop star for a while before they agreed on the selection. https://news.artnet.com/market/sothebys-ban...illiams-2062102
