Banksy artwork doubles price of building

For some people having a building covered in graffiti is just a total nightmare, so you can imagine the feelings when the owners of pub in Liverpool found that there was a huge piece of the graffiti artwork on the side of the building.

But their sadness would soon turn to joy when it was realised that the graffiti had been done by none other than the world famous graffiti artist, Banksy, now that just changes the whole perspective of the matter.

This is especially true when the pub was put up for sale, this would initially had been worth around £500,000, but because of the graffiti, it has been estimated that the building could be worth as much as £1,000,000, so much for graffiti artists being vandals.

You have ask though, how many people and companies have had some Banksy artwork removed!
