    Shelley’s Art Scandal: The Enigma that is Banksy

    January 6, 2019 / 1 Comment

    We have all at least heard the name Banksy and are probably all familiar with the controversial stencilled stylings that are synonymous with his name; despite the fact that while there are speculations of who he is, we don’t know for definite who he is. “Love is in the Bin” Sotheby Auction 2018 Banksy cemented his name in the art history books earlier this year, through the shredding of “Balloon Girl” while it was being auctioned at Sotheby’s.
