Liverpool Banksy sold to Los Angeles collector for more than £175,000

A Banksy mural "ripped" from the wall of a Liverpool car park has been sold to a collector for more than £175,000.

The Love Plane appeared on the side of Norwich House on Rumford Street in 2011 and was instantly recognisable as being the work of world-renowned street artist Banksy. The artwork, which stood 15-feet high, featured a monochrome biplane creating a heart-shaped smoke trail.

The plane itself was removed in 2016. The piece was due to feature in the failed Berry House "street art gallery" project, but in 2017 the ECHO learned the artwork would not be returning to the city.
