It takes away something. But that is I guess to romanticise things. I am glad that Banksy is recognised by all as an artist ...

What the audience does with that becomes out of the artist's control I guess. I think that it kind of spoils the fun a bit when ‘proper’ authorities like the art. It takes away something.

… mentioning amongst other things the price tag (£100,000) that his work has fetched. And council efforts to preserve his graffiti.
