UK / USA : Street Artist Banksy...Smells A Rat....And Replaces His Ripped-Off Mural.


      When a small Banksy mural (below) mysteriously disappeared off a London shop wall last May...and then showed up for a Miami auction...locals got furious.
       The mural called 'Slave Labour'...was literally ripped out of the wall...and expected to sell in Florida...for between $500,000-$700,000.              
        Now...that work been withdrawn. 
       And...famous street artist Banksy has replaced it in the North London neighborhood... with a bigger and better mural.
