Banksy Strikes

This week, the Bristol, England graffiti artist known as Banksy dressed in an English pensioner's getup and stealthily installed his own artwork in four major New York museums. "This historic occasion has less to do with finally being embraced by the fine art establishment and is more about the judicious use of a fake beard and some high strength glue." Banksy continues: "They're good enough to be in there, so I don't see why I should wait." More Banksy links.
