Whenever Banksy comes to town his artwork lives in the public eye between anything from 1 hour to 1 week, as people clammer to steal them or the owners of the buildings that they adorn try to remove them to either add them to thier own collection or sell them to private collectors… therefore photographing them is HARD!
Anyway, earlier this year Banksy made a trip to LA as he was nominated for an Oscar for his documentary 'Exit through the Gift Shop' and while he was here he also did what he did best.
This is one of his pieces (that was taken down the same day) on Sunset boulevard.
