Here we Go Again
[For the second time this year a Banksy
work sprayed on a shop wall in
north London has disappeared,
most likely to be sold at auction,
to the consternation of residents
and the local council.
A month after Slave Labour – a jubilee-themed
mural depicting a child making union flag bunting
– sold for more than £750,000 after being removed
from the side of a Poundland in Wood Green,
an even better-known work has gone
from nearby Tottenham.
No Ball Games, which appeared on a
convenience store in September 2009,
is one of the secretive Bristol-born artist's most
celebrated recent images. Typical of Banksy's
blunt polemic style, it shows a pair of stencilled
children with their hands raised towards a floating
piece of paper bearing the title's words.]
