Art Series Hotels invites you to steal Banksy

 

Melbourne

While the art at the Art Series Hotels are not for stealing, this summer the hotel chain is hiding a Banksy original in one of their hotels for you to try and steal. The $15,000 masterpiece is one of just a handful of signed and authenticated Banksys available in Australia. Find it, as it does the rounds of our hotels, and it could be yours if you make it out without getting caught.

The bounty? ‘No Ball Games’ is part of a series of historical note. In 2007 a group of bandits removed a section of a wall with an angle grinder because Banksy had stencilled around the ‘No Ball Games’ sign on it. The wall was later found on eBay for sale for 20,000 pounds.

Amusing little PR stunt we think. More details available at Art Series Hotels.
