Day 22 of Banksy’s
“Better Out than In” a month long street art residency taking place in New York
and Tuesday brought us a bit of an odd re-working/homage of the great Sphinx
pyramid that rests in Gaza Egypt. It
was only a matter of hours before the owner of the Queens auto-glass shop had
the piece removed from his property and sold to a gallery who made an offer he clearly
could not refuse.
“No Turn Unstoned”
and is roughly a 1/36 scale replica of the Sphinx and is made from smashed
cinderblocks.
UPDATE: 10/23/2013 Banksy just released a statement saying that today's piece is canceled due to police activity. A joke, for real or perhaps The B-man just needed a days rest?
