Banksy art sale in NYC

Banksy is widely celebrated for his thought-provoking and oftentimes highly controversial street art. "Banksy," however, is an alias. His true identity is unknown. Recently, Banksy came to New York, and during his month-long stay he made the city is canvas. One day, Banksy set up a sidewalk sale but "forgot" to tell his publicist. What happens next is truly astonishing.

It is worth noting that by comparison to the nameless art sold during the sidewalk sale a Banksy original recently sold at an auction for over $1,000,000.
