Banksy in NYC

Never heard of Banksy? "Whilst others spray their names, Banksy paints pictures, pictures that have made Banksy a household name. He is the most controversial and downright interesting graffiti artist at large in the UK today. He has never let the world know his real name - and he has never even posed for a photograph. And yet everybody is talking about him...he is unknown but his work is unmistakable. He’s the maniac who got on the news for managing to smuggle one of his pieces of art into Tate Britain and embarrassed everyone because nobody seemed to notice..." (Check out the YouTube video below of Banksy sneaking one of his pieces into a museum...)

His pieces have sold on eBay and through Sotheby's for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, opening this Sunday at the Vanina Holasek Gallery in New York is Banksy Does New York. The show runs through December 29th.
