Anonymous british graffiti artist Banksy recently made a trip over to the US continuing his art works throughout the city of New York for the month of October. However as his work is actually illegal as it is graffiti, which is considered vandalism, it is starting to create some controversy as to how or whether it should be preserved. Some of his works around the city have already been painted over by building owners who were unaware of their value. On the other hand a Banksy flower girl piece was removed from a gas station and put up for auction with a starting bid was $300,000.
Everything about Banksy's work is controversial from the messages behind all of his pieces, to the big question; where do we draw the line between graffiti and art?
