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Now...that work been withdrawn.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.
