Hooked Up - Banksy Donates $150,000 Statue


'Banksy is no angel, but he has left us this gift'.

Banksy has hooked up the Bristol Museum with a statue valued at over $150,000 (pictured above).

Bristol is thought to be the birthplace of Banksy. Banksy previously put on an exhibition at the Bristol Museum in 2009 which drew in the biggest crowds ever in the museum's 190 year history.

You can read more about the statue and Banksy at Artlyst, who point out that 'If this (i.e. Banksy's work) gets people to engage with art it is working'.
