ROBBIE Williams is part of a syndicate hoping to buy what may become the most pricey Banksy.
Art fan Robbie, 46, is targeting Show Me the Monet, which is expected to sell for up to £10million at auction.
It is a pastiche of Monet’s The Water-Lily Pond from 1899 — with dumped shopping trollies and traffic cones beneath a bridge.
Singer Robbie collects contemporary works and owns some by elusive street artist Banksy.
A source said: “Robbie knows art’s a safe investment.
“He’s a major player in a syndicate of enthusiasts who are understood to be keen on it.
“It could easily break the record for a Banksy.”
The current Banksy record is for Devolved Parliament, depicting MPs as chimps, which sold for £9.5million last year.
The latest sale will be held online by Sotheby’s next month.
