Is your Banksy a real Banksy?
July 11th, 2008
British graffiti artist Banksy's work is so popular, and fetching such good prices that people are getting ripped off by Banksy imitators selling fake 'Banksys', or stealing originals.
So to stop the practice (and preserve the value of of the real Banksys) Banksy has set up an authentication committee. Called 'Pest Control', the committee will authenticate and approve genuine Banksy graffitis, although no further detail is yet available.
Perhaps they'll be as mysterious as Banksy himself?
