So? For decades, there's been speculating on the identity or identities (if its a collective group of artists) of the street artist, Banksy.

Who do you think Banksy? Is your mom, Banksy? Are you Banksy? If you're Banksy, you have to tell us. It's like undercover cops having to divulge they're police to members of the public if asked.*

*Undercover cops do not have to divulge that they, in fact, are police to individuals whom they are targeting in sting operations.

@tsarstepan,

He's from Bristol, he's got a bristle accent.

That narrows it down a bit.

He did a mural at the local hospital.

I suppose geographically speaking I'm the one most likely to know who Banksy is, and I haven't a clue.

I've heard his voice on the documentary, and I've met loads of people who sound like that, so it's conceivable I've met him and not realised.

A new Banksy Museum has opened in NYC … minus Banksy

Quote:

The new Banksy Museum in New York City tries to recreate the experience of stumbling upon Banksy graffiti in the wild. There is a fake manhole cover here, artfully-arranged debris there, and wall after wall fabricated to look like brick or concrete and stenciled with Banksy’s iconic pictures of children, police officers and rats.

But there’s a catch — these are not real Banksys, and Banksy never agreed to have his work reproduced.
