Art Londoners Like Banksy's Ikea Mural
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 1:02 PM
The Guardian reports that so far, 85 percent of Suttonites (as my people are called) who've cast a vote want the piece to stay. The move to solicit public input on street art comes after another Banksy piece in East London was painted over to much public outrage last month. No matter how you feel about Banksy's art, it's hard to deny the appeal of a system that lets the people who spend the most time in a city's streets decide what they should look like. How long before New Yorkers get a say on what graffiti works get to stay? (Artinfo)
