Banksy's controversial mural, "Slave Labour," was sold $1.1
million at a private auction in London this week. The sale was
lamented³ by UK-based campaigners who fought for the street
artwork's return to public viewing.
The artwork was initially painted on the wall of a local shop
last year, but it was removed from its original location by
unknown thieves soon after. Then, the mural popped up at an
American auction houses in Miami with a $700,000 price tag,
thus prompting London street art admirers to protest the sale,
claiming the mural was unjustly taken from their town.
The planned Miami auction, initiated by the owners of the
wall, Robert Alan Davis and Leslie Steven Gilbert, was
halteds for unexplained reasons, leading the campaigners in
London to believe that they had successfully campaigned
against the sale of the "stolen" Banksy masterpiece. However,
the artwork eventually went on to sell in the UK just months
