What would you do if someone offered you a small fortune for a painting the artist didn't want sold? When the worlds most infamous street artist visited San Francisco he created an art world frenzy. His 'illegal' art was loved by the public, destroyed by city officials, dismissed by art experts and coveted by art dealers.
Internationally known graffiti artist, Banksy, left his mark on San Francisco in April 2010. Little did he know that this act of vandalism would spark a chain of events that includes one of his rats being removed from a wall, Museums ignorantly turning down a free Banksy street work, and a NY gallerist who has made it his business model to remove Banksy street works from all over the globe doing whatever it takes to get the rat in his possession.
