Banksy, the fashionable London street artist, turned out to be not quite so hot on canvas.
Last night marked his first appearance in a Sotheby’s New York evening sale. Four quaking cloaked figures, on their knees, pray and prostrate to a red sign announcing “Sale Ends Today.”
Estimated to fetch up to $800,000, the painting didn’t sell.
