<\/a><\/figure>\nWelcome to BSA Images of the Week.<\/strong><\/p>\n The George Floyd mural at Elgin and Ennis in Houston\u2019s Third Ward has been quietly demolished<\/a> \u2014 a move that caught many off guard, especially as the fifth anniversary of his death approached. More than a painting on a wall in the margins of the city, it was a community\u2019s act of remembrance, a public reckoning, and a visual anchor for a moment when the country seemed to shift. To awaken.<\/p>\n And yet, here we are. Five years later, and it\u2019s hard to say what lasting change took root. In some camps, being \u2018woke\u2019 is a pejorative, and going back to sleep is encouraged. The arc of justice bends, but it bends slowly. Or maybe it bends into circles.<\/p>\n Meanwhile in New York, a Banksy mural on a six-ton wall hit the auction block and\u2026 nothing. Not a single bid. <\/a>Cue speculation: are we finally past the Banksy-buoyed street art boom that\u2019s defined the last two decades? Or was the opening price just too steep? Maybe the rollout was sloppy. Maybe it was the economy. Whatever the reason, the silence in the salesroom is rare \u2014 and could signal a shift in the so-called urban contemporary art market.<\/p>\n And yet, the Banksy machine rolls on. At this point, there may be more Banksy museums than Starbucks \u2014 none sanctioned by the artist, of course, but still packing in the crowds. There\u2019s The Banksy Museum in NYC, The World of Banksy in Paris, Museu Banksy in Barcelona and Madrid, and the touring Art of Banksy<\/em> show, rolling through Jakarta, Melbourne, and Vancouver. It\u2019s a brand now \u2014 maybe not quite as big as Mickey Mouse, but it\u2019s definitely what cultural tourists reach for when they want a little edge with their museum day. What this says about the artist, the audience, or the architecture of commodified rebellion\u2026 you draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n So here\u2019s some of this week\u2019s visual conversation from the street, including works from Shin, Crash One, GO, Ham, Hasp, Homesick, IMK, Jeff Henriquez, Mike King, Nela, Piggie the Pig, Queen Andrea, Stesi, Wetiko, Wild West, and Zimer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
