A new work by the artist Banksy was on display in London for only a few hours. Then thieves stole the graffiti in broad daylight.
The world-famous street artist Banksy has already confirmed four works in the British capital London this week. After a goat on Monday, two elephants on Tuesday and three monkeys on Wednesday, the silhouette of a wolf howling at the moon followed today (8 August). But after the artist had stolen his work, it disappeared again shortly afterwards. Brazen thieves had struck in broad daylight.
Howling wolf to be admired for only a few hours
Banksy’s fourth new artwork in four days appeared on Rye Lane in Peckham, south London. The outline of a wolf was spray-painted on a satellite dish mounted on the roof of a one-story, apparently vacant shop.
in which three unknown people can be seen dismantling the dish using a ladder and fleeing with the stolen goods. Banksy’s press team told the BBC that they “believe” the painting was stolen. London police also said they had been contacted about a “stolen satellite dish containing a work of art”. So far, no arrests have been made in the case.
Four works of art in four days
Since Monday, Banksy has confirmed a new series of works on Instagram. A post from August 5th. The house wall is in Richmond, west of London. On Tuesday, two elephants followed, whose trunks almost seem to touch on a facade in the London district of Chelsea. Meanwhile, the artist sprayed the silhouettes of three monkeys, which appear to be hanging from a rope, on a railway bridge in Shoreditch in east London.
It is still not clear who is behind Banksy. One candidate is the artist Robin Gunningham from Bristol. An interview from 2003 recently surfaced in which the still little-known Banksy gave his first name as “Robbie”.
