Man auctions wall painted by Banksy.


Banksy, Portobello Road

According to the BBC, Luti Fagbenle auctioned the wall of his business located at Portobello Road in London. The wall fetched 208,100 GBP (about 407376.56 USD at the time the article was published) on ebay.

The price did not include the removal and transport of the wall.

I wonder if the wall that replaces the Banksy-painted one will be targeted again.

In an email, the graffiti artist Pixnit wrote this is "Turning the "destruction" of private property into a "gift.""
