Doors 112 – Back to some archive street/graffiti art doors
Another extraordinarily busy week for me, and limited time to pull together new doors, so it is another retrospective of street art doors (one or two of which have been seen before on Thursday doors) this week. Here goes, this selection were first published on Natural Adventures in 2017:
This world famous Banksy piece called ‘mobile lovers’ was in the Bristol Museum for a short while before being returned to the Broad Plain Boys’ Club on whose door it had been painted. They sold the door to a private collector for £403,000 which alleviated the financial problems they were having. It was what Banksy had intended.
There is a door hidden in the middle of this piece.
Another rush through a slightly more international selection there which I hope you enjoyed. Have a great weekend.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors and you really ought to take a look at the Norm 2.0 blog – the originator of Thursday Doors where there are links to yet more doors in the comments section at the end.

Incredible street art. I quite like the “classic”red door painted in New York 🙂

Thanks, I cheated a bit, I think that door was one of my very early Thursday doors.

I guess we’re all recycling right now, one way or the other 🙂 It had the same light blue as in the second door – could be the same artists, just going through a different ‘period’ 🙂

Some lovely choices from your archives. Every Bansky piece I’ve ever seen is just so clever and so in-tune with modern reality.

Oh I can agree with that.

Another treasure trove! The mobile lovers story is great but too much of life seems to really be like that, connecting in person between long stretches on devices. What a great way to make a donation! I also really like the butterflies and the two women’s faces.

Thanks. I am enjoying sharing these archive pieces, but feel I must get out there and take some ‘now doors’.
