The latest Banksy piece that showed up down on The Grange, Southwark, a collaboration with Kieth Haring, was boarded up the next day by the building’s owner… but not before Maggie Jones got in one last sneaky shot.
This photo by G2Burning is what it looks like underneath.
The man who boarded it up told Maggie he was covering it to protect it because he is a Banksy fan and an artist himself. In about one year from now, the building is set to be demolished and he is hoping to salvage this piece of wall.
I walked past this a few weeks ago and am pleased to say that it has been covered in a clear protective layer of… something. Perhaps plexiglass? Very visible to passers-by. It was so exciting to see as I was leaving a flatviewing.
