Heh... +1 for the word "frieze". Pretty sure I last heard/saw that in use in the 70s! ;D

£200k Apes by Banksy, by Warm Gun on May 6, 2011 22:37:44 GMT 1, I was reading the Brighton Argus yesterday and on the front page was news of yet another Banksy piece that is being sold from the Ocean Rooms nightclub.
Apparently as builders were renovation the property they discovered a long lost Banksy commission under layers of paint a door. It was a punk character in a union jack t-shirt. He had wings on his back and was not dissimilar in appearance to the ikea punk. The piece was tagged and has been authenticated by Pest control as it was an official commission.
The report stated that it could fetch a million pound and has received huge interest from buyers in the USA.
The bizarre thing about this is that there is no mention of this story in the Argus archive or anywhere else on line despite it being on the front page.
I can't even find the image of it.
Did anyone else see this story?

Apparently the Brighton punk (as the Argus have called it) will be on display in Dover Street for a few weeks until it is sold.
