the painting, called Old Skool and featuring four pensioners dressed in hoodies and baseball caps, vanished, residents were understandably distressed......despite conspiracy theories circulating on the internet, the mural has neither been stolen, nor removed by Banksy himself as a publicity stunt, nor accidentally painted over by council workers.
In fact, the owner of the garage has sold it - for ยฃ1,000.

So lets remove them off the streets ourselves and show them in the Gallery.

Meaning?
Is Andipa a museum now?
They are a gallery, of coarse they will be for sale.... at the right price.
Leave it on the street, that's where it was intended to be seen.
