A mural by the elusive street artist known as Banksy disappeared from the exterior of a London store last week and has emerged at a Miami auction.
Removed from the side of a Poundland store (similar to a Dollar Store franchise in the U.S.) was a mural now listed in the upcoming Feb. 23 sale at Fine Art Auctions.
"Slave Labor (Bunting Boy)" depicts a boy sewing a Union Jack bunting and is estimated to sell for between $500,000 and $700,000. It is described as "stencil and spray paint on render with additional jubilee bunting."
