London Underground Graffiti

Well, doing a google search on this topic brought up all sorts of interesting things especially on the controversy over Banksy stuff. Cleaners did not know graffiti on a London Underground train was by world-renowned artist Banksy when they removed it, the BBC has been told. The piece, If You Don't Mask, You Don't Get, was painted inside a Circle Line service carriage. But by the time he unveiled the work on his Instagram account, it had been wiped away by Transport for London (TfL) cleaning crews. A TfL source said: "It was treated like any other graffiti on the network." "The job of the cleaners is to make sure the network is clean, especially given the current climate," they said. I thought I would post these three images. The middle one is Banksy and the others are commissioned artwork. You decide.
