Auctions are very heated places and a new Channel 4 series, The Greatest Auction, shows just how tense they can be. In the first episode of the new series, which is hosted by AJ Odudu, artwork which is believed to be Banksy is sold for £250,000.
No one knows who the seller is, after they sent a representative, Justin, and kept their identity hidden, and after the artwork was examined there was no clear answer to whether or not the piece was actually Banksy. The artwork features a piece of wall with a rat holding a paintbrush sprayed on it and it reads "Never liked this Banksy".
Justin confirmed that he was not representing Banksy nor was he Banksy himself. There has been no comment from Banksy claiming the artwork and no comment from any other artist claiming the work either.
