Another day, another stencil. Fresh and already damaged.
One of the questions that people seem to be asking about these works is how long they are going to last, given the considerable amount of Banksy street pieces that people have sold or are trying to sell. Apparently the works won’t last long. So the question is, is Banksy damaging his own work or is this the work of another kind of “vandals”? Herbert Baglione does, why not Banksy? I mean, it could be possible, we know that his stencils have been stolen before, pieces literally ripped off the wall so why not just damaging them as a way to preserve them? What do you think?
Location: 24th street & 6th avenue, NY.
