Who Robs A Banksy?

De: Podimo & Message Heard
  • Sumário

  • There aren’t many people who can say that they’ve had a Banksy statue in their back garden, but Andy Link is one of them. In 2004, he kidnapped one of Banksy’s pieces of art in broad daylight from the middle of central London, and held it to ransom. The fact that someone would kidnap a Banksy statue is pretty absurd already, but the story of why it happened, how the statue vanished again after it was kidnapped, and how it was mysteriously put up for auction over 10 years later is even wilder. It all comes down to 1 man, and a 2 decade long vendetta. The story will take us on a journey through UK’s most subversive sub-cultures: from art heists and art terrorists, to 80s football hooliganism, the 90s illegal rave scene, even fetish parties. While all the while, we try to track down one of the most elusive anonymous artists in the world. All to discover…who robs a Banksy?? From Podimo and Message Heard

  • 1: A Statue In Central London
    Apr 27 2023
    Andy Link is no ordinary guy. He’s touched almost every iconic British subculture going - from football hooliganism, to illegal raves to the street art scene. But perhaps most surprisingly, in 2004, he masterminded the kidnapping of a Banksy statue from the centre of central London in broad daylight. Journalist Jake Warren sets out to discover who this guy really is, and what he’s got against Banksy.

    Kidnapping a statue to get revenge on someone? Seems pretty extreme. What could possibly have caused a feud that would elicit such a reaction? Jake learns the origin story, while also travelling back to Andy’s childhood - rife with political upheaval and football hooliganism - to get a better understanding of how he’s wired. And the team gets one step closer to Banksy himself…
