Three murals, allegedly by Banksy, that were controversially removed from their site in Jerusalem and put on show in New York are now on their way to a show in Miami to, as the gallery states, "continue the debate" about the works. The pieces are not authenticated by Banksy or his authenticating organization, as they do not authenticate murals, for the fact that graffiti is illegal and such admission could land the artist in jail and that they may be illegally removed and sold without permission from whomever owns the wall. The gallery has said that the works will not be for sale in the new show, but will be there to continue debate on whether or not the works lose their significance when taken from their intended placement. Take a look...
