.- Banksy, not so long ago an anonymous art-world prankster and cultural provocateur, once more enters a new year as one of the world s most ubiquitous, revered and debated artists and most sought-after, as evidenced by the record prices realized at Heritage Auctions for his works in the last 12 months. There remains a deep and profound global appetite for the man who shattered the barricades between the highbrow and lowbrow, who s adored as much by the establishment as the hellraisers, and who helped forever blur the lines between irony, satire and sincerity.
