Sold. Before Sold. [A Banksy artwork has been removed from the side of a building in Nottingham and sold to a collector. The mural, which depicts a girl hula-hooping with a bicycle tyre, appeared on a residential street in October. The "slab of brick" was seen being cut from the wall in Rothesay Avenue from about 05:00 GMT. Gallery owner John Brandler told the BBC he paid a "six-figure sum" for the piece, and wanted to help preserve it, as well as put it on display. Resident Dan Golstein said workmen were "drilling into the wall" in the early hours. The artwork was then seen being loaded into the back of a van. Mr Brandler said the workers were part of a "very specialised company" which had removed Banksy art before. The collector owns a number of the elusive artist's pieces, including Seasons Greetings, which he bought from a garage in Port Talbot in 2019.
