被清洁工人毁掉的班克斯作品
澳大利亚墨尔本的一位清洁工人无意涂掉了班克斯(Banksy)的一件街头涂鸦作品,而这件作品现在的价值可能已高达几十万英镑。在2008年伦敦苏富比的一场拍卖中,班克斯的一件作品拍得636,500英镑。
被清洁工人毁掉的作品描绘的是一只小老鼠乘着降落伞落地,这件涂鸦作品可能是班克斯在2003年游览墨尔本时留下的唯一作品。而就是这位声名远播的英国涂鸦艺术家的作品竟被不知内情的清洁工人清除掉了。
澳大利亚市政管理工作人员Kathy
Alexander解释到:“尽管政府知道这是班克斯的原作,但无奈这些清洁工人并没有意识到这件作品的重要性,之所以清除掉这件涂鸦作品,是因为它的周围还有其它一些涂鸦图案。”

Cleaners accidentally paint over Banksy
stencil
Council cleaners in the Australian city of Melbourne have
accidentally painted over a piece of Banksy street art which was
potentially worth tens of thousands of pounds.
The stencil of a rat descending in a parachute was believed to
be the only remaining work left by the elusive British graffiti
artist during his time in Melbourne in 2003.
Cleaning workers contracted by Melbourne council had been
asked to “remove all graffiti and tagging from unapproved street
art sites” and clean the CBD’s graffiti-filled Hosier Lane, which
has five approved street art sites which were left alone by the
cleaners.
Melbourne Council CEO Kathy Alexander said despite the
council’s knowledge that the rat stencil was a Banksy original, the
cleaners were unaware of its significance and removed it because it
was surrounded by graffiti tags.
