Liverpool artist Silent Bill questions the provenance of a Banksy artwork that fetched £250,000 in a TV auction. Whether or not the piece is a Banksy, Silent Bill is right about one thing:

The sale of the piece is everything that’s wrong within the art world, greedy rich people who can afford trophy art pieces as tax incentives.

Street art pieces are, as intended by its name, for the street. When Banksy comes to Liverpool and gifts the city a piece it’s for the people of the city, it’s not for concierge and lifestyle services to cut from walls.
