Another wall bites the dust (times 2), by Deleted on Jul 29, 2015 20:26:11 GMT 1, Banksy Murals up for auction.
Murals believed to have been left by elusive street artist Banksy on walls in Detroit and Bethlehem are to be auctioned in September. One, Donkey Documents, depicts a donkey having its papers checked by a soldier and was left on a barrier dividing the West Bank from Israel in 2007. The other, I Remember When All This Was Trees, was painted on the wall of a derelict Detroit factory in 2010. Together the murals could fetch as much as $1 million (ยฃ638,000). The Detroit mural is owned by a small non-profit gallery and is being sold to raise funds for community arts schemes. Auction house Julien's has not revealed who removed the second work from its original location or who will benefit from its sale.
According to Julien's, "the detached mural... is the largest and most significant intact Banksy mural in existence from his visit to Israel". The mural, it continued, will be displayed at an unspecified location in London before the auction takes place in Los Angeles on 30 September. Removing street art by Banksy and others from their original locations is a controversial act that some claim diminishes the artwork in question. The removal of one mural from a shop in north London prompted protests, though this did not prevent its eventual sale for more than ยฃ750,000.

As for the West Bank pieces, I think anything from the West Bank/Gaza should be left in situ, and resale of those works should be heavily shamed. Like the art equivalent of blood diamonds.
