Banksy plan is off the wall
Slave Labour AN artist paid £561,000 for a Banksy artwork, but now plans to whitewash it in protest at the buying and selling of street art.
American Ron English has bought Slave Labour, which was daubed on the wall of a Poundland store in North London in 2012.
He said: “I’m going to paint over it and just include it in one of the walls in my house.”
He will then sell it for “a million dollars”. He said: “I am crazy – but not stupid.” On Jonathan Ross show Minnie Caldwell Cliff in 1960
