The article "Local council hopes to block Banksy sale in America" by unknown reporter that was published on the Telegraph's website on Febraury 20, 2013 discusses the situation concerning the fate of a local mural. This is a piece of street art, which depicts a young boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting.
Speaking about this mural, it is necessary to explain that it was painted on the side of a Poundland shop, in the north of London, just before the Diamond Jubilee, and disappeared from there in order to be fetched up to £451,900 at Fine Art Auctions in Miami, Florida, on Saturday. But as it was revealed Haringey Council intends to bring back the artwork as it is a symbol of local pride. It is also neccessary to note that the Heringey councillors had to call on the Art Council to intervene in this affair. It is hard to predict the course of events, but there is every reason to believe that the Haringey council will keep its end up to return the Banksy mural into place where it belongs.
Giving appriasal of the situation, the author claimes that the Blanksy work possesses not only local but national significance of the art work. He notes that the Banksy created a huge amount of excitement when it first appeared, and residents were understandably shocked and angry that it has been removed for private sale. Moreover it was revealed that less than a year before this mural was painted, an area was rocked by riots, and for many in the community the painting has become a real symbol of local pride.
In the conclusion the reporter gives no assumptions concerning the mural's fate, but as for me, I can guess that it will be difficult for Haringey to gain a success in this affair. Unfortunatelly today art is also can be sold.
