A limited-edition print of one of Banksy's most iconic pieces of work is to go under the hammer in Newcastle. Newcastle Auction House Anderson and Garland are selling one of Banksy's most famous works, 'Love Rat'.
Numbered 335/600, this screenprint, which was originally a graffiti piece in Liverpool, is being put up for sale as part of The Modern Art and Design Auction which takes place this week. It comes after a record-breaking sale of an original work of art by Banksy earlier this year.
The 'Love Rat' piece carries an estimate of £30,000 - £50,000 but auctioneers have said "the sky is the limit" for this sought-after print. Banksy's real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. His street art often combines dark humour with graffiti.
