# Entire Wall on Ebay Banksy Graffiti Project By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-01-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banksy-ebay References: [blogs.usatoday](http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2008/01/todays-photo-ba.html) While some still argue it's [graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti), [urban art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) is reaching new levels because of an enigmatic English artist known as Banksy, who we have featured several times on Trend Hunter. One of his pieces in on eBay now for $407, 587.47 (subject to change.) The deal with this piece, however, is that the winner has to remove the entire wall and haul it off. The experts are watching [the auction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joopiter) with much interest because it could solidify Banksy as a bonafide artist. "It is a demonstration of the changing art market that the eyes of the art world are on eBay eagerly watching the sale of a wall gratified by Banksy," Bobby Read an art expert told The Times. "This sale confirms Banksy as a modern-day cross between Michelangelo and the Scarlet Pimpernel."
