Banksy is Britain's most celebrated graffiti artist. Originally from Bristol, his stencils have become popular throughout the world. His subversive images can be seen daubed on walls and bridges throughout London. and many other locations around the world. Amazing prices for Banksy work at Sotheby's auction house shows just how popular and sought after his work has become.

The artist known as Banksy carefully manages to keep his image and real name from the mainstream media. However, certain people in the media put forward his "verified" image, and also assert that his real name is Robert Banks....but does it really matter?? If he's actually called Shirley and has one eye with two left feet we'd still love his art!
