When it comes to street art, there's no getting around him: Banksy, probably the most famous and most mysterious graffiti artist in the world. According to estimates, the British artist, who is about 45-50 years old, has successfully kept his identity a secret. His works, however, conquer internationally not only the streets, but also the auction houses, and highly successful: He is currently considered one of the most expensive artists of the present!
Banksy is without doubt the undisputed king of street art, a brilliant mind and star artist who touches people with his sometimes ironic, sometimes political, but always poetic works and speaks to them from the soul. Banksy is a star far beyond the boundaries of the art market. Back in 2010, Time magazine included him for the first time on its list of the 100 most influential people in the world, alongside personalities such as Barack Obama, Steve Jobs and Lady Gaga.
