Why Banksy Chose New York For His Street Art Comeback
The elusive graffiti artist speaks out.
World-renowned street artist Banksy has New Yorkers on a frenzied treasure hunt for his new works, popping up daily on walls and doors across the city. (The Telegraph has made a helpful map to track his "show" so far). The artist is calling his month-long "residency" in New York "Better Out Than In."
He's been mostly elusive. But today, the Village Voice published a rare interview with Banksy, whose real name is unknown. The artist chose the Voice because he "feels an affinity with people who provide content for free on street corners."
