Banksy's Kissing Cops Head to Auction
One of street artist Banksy's best known works, showing two police officers kissing, will head to the U.S. to be auctioned.
The image was painted on the side of the Prince Albert pub in Brighton in 2004, but attacks on the artwork have damaged it. The image was preserved by a company that used chemicals to transfer the image onto a canvas.
The piece shows two policemen in a passionate embrace. Pub Owner Chris Stewart is sending it to a New York gallery to be auctioned off. According to the Daily Mail, it's estimated that the piece could be bought for PS1 million or $1.6 million.
