Largest ever Banksy removed from the side of house up for sale - expected to fetch millions
- 2 months ago
The largest piece of art created by Banksy that was removed from the side of a house is being sold - and is expected to fetch several million pounds.
The anonymous street artist spray-painted a seagull tucking into a refuse skip full of polystyrene chips on the side of a residential terraced building during his ‘Great British Spraycation’ in 2021.
The artwork and steel casing, which in total weighs more than 11 and a half tonnes, had become a major attraction in Lowestoft, Norfolk, but was later removed in a huge overnight operation involving a crane.
The wall, which was removed from the side of the house and strapped up with chains, has been in storage at a secret and secure location ever since.
And its owners have now decided to sell it and are inviting bids - with the 'humongous' piece of art expected to fetch several million pounds.
