Banksy's provides free tickets for all to L.A. MOCA's "Art in the Streets"

Banksy has announced a gesture that really puts other successful artists to shame: admission to L.A. MOCA's blockbuster "Art in the Streets" show will be free on Mondays, courtesy of a gift from the street artist.

"I don't think you should have to pay to look at graffiti," Banksy quipped in a statement. "You should only pay if you want to get rid of it."

Tickets to the exhibition — which includes work by Banksy, and dozens of other prominent street artists — normally costs $10, but thanks to what MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch called an "unprecedented" donation, it will be free every Monday this summer.
