Public art

An artworld bargain - an original Banksy for £125,000.  The only issue is that you have to look after the pub it's painted on.

The Banksy pub on Berry Street in Liverpool got its name after the graffiti specialist painted the building for the 2004 Liverpool Biennial art festival.  The pub is up for auction this Friday, and the owners have just reduced the guide priced from £175,000 to £125,000. The building is listed, and the owner must apply to Liverpool City Council for planning consent if they choose not to keep the artwork and paint over it.
