Synopsis
In April 2010, graffiti artist Banksy painted a mural on a wall in San Francisco. After the removal of one of his rat pieces, local museums opted not to acquire it, exposing a lack of support for contemporary street art. New York gallerist Steve Lazarides took action, employing controversial methods to secure Banksy's works for his collection. These events ignited discussions about art preservation and ownership, particularly the dynamics between street art and the commercial art market.
