Culture: Banksy painted over: A famous work of art callously destroyed
- We never wanted to make money out of it like many do – but it was a part of our lives. Now it’s gone.
- Sofie Attrill • Who owns a building on which famous English grafitti artist Banksy painted a notable piece of art. The art, which showed up on the single for Blur’s “Crazy Beat”, was painted over by a local government. They needed her permission to paint it over, but sent letters asking for permission to an ancient address. By the time that Attrill caught the painters, it was mostly destroyed. Idiots. • source
