The graffiti artist Banksy has wrapped up a month-long residency in New York City. Bansky’s art on the city streets has included a moving slaughterhouse delivery truck loaded with squealing stuffed animals, a war-related mural set to audio from the “Collateral Murder” video of a U.S. helicopter attack on civilians, and a statue of McDonald’s mascot Ronald McDonald having his shoe polished by a live actor. A thrift-store painting that he modified and re-donated to the aid group Housing Works just sold for $615,000 online. Banksy apparently defied a campaign by New York City police to corner him. The audio guide for his final piece reflects his possible motives.

Banksy audio guide: “The world we live in today is run, visually at least, by traffic signs, billboards and planning committees. Is that it? Don’t we want to live in a world made of art, not just decorated by it?”
