6. Banksy – Morons 2006
The Banksy print ‘Morons’ famously depicts an auctioneer selling at auction a painting with the text “I can’t believe you morons buy this shit”, and it first appeared on Banksy’s website soon after a record breaking auction result for one of the Bristol street artist’s canvases. It was reported widely that a helpful schoolboy on a train was handed a ‘Banksy’ by a passenger, the signed copy of an iconic Banksy print and was told it would be worth about £20,000, after the schoolboy helped a stranger pick up his paints after they fell from his bag. People thought it was the famous artist, but as it turns out, Banksy’s identity still remains elusive.
