 I like the reason he spared the Guggenheim.

""I would have had to appear between two Picassos," he said. "And I'm not good enough to get away with that."

Here's some more info on the guy.

With a pic of the painting hanging in the museum.

All I've got to say about Yahoo is it's a good thing they clarified "gay tiff" as a lover's quarrel, or we all would have been left in the dark about what they meant. wink

I think this guy watched "The Thomas Crown Affair" one too many times.

He's cool! I like this kind of performance art. And he is making some nice statements this way. For example; who decides what's going to be in a museum?

By the way for those unaware of his work, Banksy is (in my opinion) one of the finest Grafitti arstists EVER. Check his work out if you can cause the Guy is so talented. I grew up in Bristol, U.K and was grateful for the pleasure of seeing his early, Home-town work. Classic Stunt.
