Wear Banksy T-shirts to appeal for return of prints Whether you like graffiti or not, it is difficult to fail to admire the skills of Banksy – which perhaps makes news of the theft of a pair of prints by him from a prestigious gallery in Soho, west London, all the more saddening.

The limited edition items were taken by two people, one of whom used a road sign to smash a window at Art Republic, explains the BBC.

The pieces stolen from the gallery are Banksy’s Happy Choppers – worth £8,750 – which is one of only 750 ever produced, as well as Nola, which is number 15 of a run of 63 and carries a value of £7,700.

In order to promote awareness of the crime and appeal for their safe return, I have decided to wear a Banksy T-shirt as much as I can over the coming days – and you could join me.

Earlier this week, the New York Times reported a growing number of examples of the graffitist’s work are being uncovered in downtown Manhattan.ADNFCR-2904-ID-19787360-ADNFCR
