Opinion: We all know Banksy, or rather don’t know Banksy – the British street artist whose identity remains the best-kept secret in contemporary culture

We all know Banksy, or rather don’t know Banksy – the British street artist whose identity remains the best-kept secret in contemporary culture. Even this, however, is a game because one doesn’t have to look too far to find a name. Banksy’s anonymity has been preserved because he is more valuable as a man of mystery than as a recognisable, photographable individual.

To fund his increasingly diverse operations, which include films, public art and activism all over the world, Banksy discreetly sells a few pieces every year through a self-created agency called Pest Control.put up for auction at Sotheby’s in 2018 was one of these market-made works: a hand-made copy of an iconic image that first appeared in 2002, and has been repeated many times.
