British street artist virtually 'gives away' works sold at non-descript looking market stall - and just three people buy Elusive British street artist Banksy has sold several original works of art for just $60 (£38) each from a stall in New York's Central Park. The anarchic painter, who loves nothing more than taking the mickey out of the art world, released a video last night of an elderly man selling what look like knock-offs of the artist's work from a market stall on Sunday. But the 'knock-offs' were actually original pieces painted and signed by the artist who is currently exhibiting in the city. The two and-a-half minute video, covering from 11.15am to 6pm, shows just eight of his paintings being sold - four to one man from Chicago, two to a mum (who shrewdly negotiates buying two small canvases for the price of one) for her children and two to a young woman tourist from New Zealand. The day's takings were £420, but the likely valuation of the small to medium sized canvases is probably about £140,000 - up to £20,000 each. In the video the innocuous-looking white-haired street vendor, wearing a baseball cap and woollen vest, is seen sitting for long periods of time with nothing to do and yawning occasionally. It's not until 3.30pm that he makes his first sale But with each purchase the man hugs or kisses the buyer gratefully and in a way that hints perhaps they are leaving with an incredible bargain.
