    Cool that the mayor decided to let it stay. Probably motivated by tourism and not the ideals of banksy, but nice that it gets to stay up.

    A new statue possibly by the artist Banksy

    When the sun came up on the statue Wednesday morning, people were quick to note Banksy’s signature scrawled along the base of the statue’s plinth. On Thursday, the artist’s Instagram account posted a video seemingly confirming his involvement—the post includes footage of the statue’s apparent installation

    It’s got his signature on it and he posted a video of himself installing it. But maybe it was someone else.
