New York gallery owner Stephen Ketsler (Stephan Keszler), put up for sale these two works , said that the owners of the building and the car are turned to him to take on the implementation of the work of Banksy . And keep coming Ketsleru similar offers from the owners of buildings and other objects , which left its mark on one of the most commercially successful street artists .

It is unknown whether this approves sale of Banksy himself . Company Pest Control, which has long been engaged in the implementation of works by Banksy and may even issue certificates of authenticity to them , yet did not take to sell a single work with the New York exhibition , which may indicate that Banksy does not want their sales . The artist, by the way, in an interview with Village Voice said recently that thinking does not sell his works , since the commercial success against the principles of free street art . As if in confirmation of these words in the exhibition «Better Out Than In» was organized day sale Banksy stencil just $ 60 apiece. Dozens of authentic signed Banksy stencil with street stalls selling an unknown man . None of the passers-by could not have imagined that the real work - so casually they were presented . Naturally, they were considered just copies , fakes. Seven hours only three people have purchased a total of eight works totaling $ 420 .

Stefan Ketsler justified by the fact that makes Banksy work from destruction , taking them from the owners for sale . Indeed , a number of graffiti in New York City already painted over opponents of street art , the police or other street artists , Banksy dislikes . But perhaps Banksy and not count on their long life. Author of a work of street art is aware that his work goes life cycle - from birth to decay and destruction. But at least two New York papers have not exactly will sink into oblivion - the door of the car and the 680 -pound piece of wall with graffiti in the form of heart in the sum can sell for as much as 800,000 dollars .
