Just got sent this, be careful what you decide to buy in the way of Stik pieces! Seems this installation has been wiped out, lets hope bank robber hasn't turned to taking Stik's work now!! laznia.pl/index.php?mod=mainart&aid=258&&lang=enLAZNIA 1 Statement Dear Sirs, we are sorry to inform you that the works created by British artist Stik in cooperation with local youth in the framework of street art workshops in the Lower Town in Gdansk in 2011 were removed from the public space in circumstances unknown to Laznia CCA. We have notified the competent authorities about the situation in order for them to investigate the case.   Just in case anyone is offered a slice of a cargo container! Also worth knowing that these were a project with the local kids so not even all Stik work. |

Ive just been told someone has found them already so we shall see when they send me the pics. Must admit when i read what you said about scrap i thought you were probably right! Didn't even cross my mind at first! |

Obviously i have no idea how Lamberty's have them, but the gallery/owners or whatever they are in Poland state removed without their consent/knowledge so its all a bit weird and probably NOT a great buy for anyone until ownership is worked out.    All rather strange! |

I get confused by all this, so it's not ok to take an invader, banksy is fine/expected but now you can't take a stik?

It would appear a gallery has been caught red-handed with stolen goods?? Or is there something else going on in the background we are not aware of??

Very poor show from Lamberty Gallery, as these were partly made by local children for their community to enjoy. He came across as a self serving bellend on Four Rooms and this just confirms it.

More to this than meets the eye IMO. Clearly states on his insta that they have close relationship with Stik
Nothing like a bit of old-fashioned PR

Also the skull & CB on the old master- is this Banksy ? I remember it outside POW( I think ) years ago ( cant remember which show) and was assured it was not Banksy. The stiks do look might impressive on a wall I have to admit. better in a playground though |

That Amico bar would also look brilliant in the front garden of a bungalow in Droitwich. |

This is on his website now. stik.org/news/communitymural.htmlStik Community Mural Destroyed for Commercial Exploitation Stik does not approve the destruction and commercial exploitation of the Gdansk Community Mural. This non-commercial piece was created in 2011 through local funding in collaboration with young people from the community of Gdansk, Poland. The remains of this artwork will not be authenticated by the artist.    |
