The anonymity of the British street artist known as Banksy has been sustained through a long-running and carefully managed support network, according to new findings that shed light on how the artist has operated undetected for decades.
The reporting, published in March 2026, draws on court records, interviews and previously undisclosed documents. According to a Reuters investigation, the artist's work is supported by a network of collaborators handling logistics, legal matters and commercial operations, allowing large-scale installations to be carried out across multiple countries without revealing his identity.
