Banksy draws mixed reaction in NYC

Banksy, who created a new picture, video or prank every day of October somewhere in New York City, spent his last day like thousands of graffiti artists before him: He tagged a building near a highway with his name in giant bubble letters.

The twist was that these letters were actual bubbles: balloon-like inflatables stuck to a wall near the Long Island Expressway in Queens.

As if to underscore his dual identity as both a street punk and an art-world darling, he also donated a painting that was auctioned off on Thursday night for $615,000 (€456,100).
