Banksy x N.Y.

The North American tour by UK artist Banksy continues. The last stop was Boston and now first works by the artist were spotted in New York City. The opening is marked with a “I Heart NY” piece by Banksy, found on Cedar Street between Greenwich and Trinity.

Following [yesterday] morning’s “I Heart NY” piece, we’ve discovered a second Banksy in DUMBO at the corner of Water St. and Jay St.

"There's people that try to recreate authenticity, authenticators. And then there's creators of authenticity. You have the originals. Then you have people who see them and try to be them. Some people only have that weak will to only want to repeat it. They don't want to be themselves and probably create something better". Levi Maestro
