Banksy Phenomenon Refuses To Die
The graffiti artist Banksy still has everyone in a kerfuddle. Recently a couple of businessmen bought a wall containing graffiti believed to be that of Banksy – yet the man himself refused to claim it was his work. What makes that newsworthy is the fact these businessmen spent £30,000 for that wall. And so it goes.
Banksy is clever in that he simply wants his messages and artwork to receive the publicity while he stays out of the limelight. Can you think of any other artist who has truly wished to remain so anonymous? And this is all part of the appeal of Banksy.
