Is This the Hottest Artist in the World?



The identity of the graffiti artist known only as Banksy has long been a mystery. Even as his art, which appears unexpectedly overnight, has become more and more collectible and valued.

Now the Mail on Sunday newspaper claims that Banksy is in fact Robin Gunningham, whom the British media constantly refer to as a "nice middle-class boy," because it's shocking that a graffiti artist could spell, I guess. The evidence is a bit thin, but interesting nonetheless.

If you want to know more about Banksy's art, we're one of your only sources for Banksy: Wall and Piece. It's a good look at his art, and it's about the only such book on the market. But we've got copies for you.--David E
