Banksy in Venice? New work appears, video purportedly shows artist in city

VENICE: The mysterious British artist Banksy has apparently left his mark on a crumbling wall in Venice, and even claimed to have set up an unlicensed art stall in Italy's famous"floating city".

He sets up a series of nine oil paintings in the style of the 18th-century Venetian great Canaletto, which when placed together depict a huge cruise ship surrounded by tiny gondolas, plying their way through the Venice canals. Moments after the painting"Girl with Balloon" sold for £1.042 million last year - a joint record for the maverick artist - it literally went through the shredder, which was hidden in the frame.
