    Banksy really inspired me as an artist when he mentioned how his art is a response in a world where we get inundated with ads and announcements without our consent, but usually don’t have the opportunity to reply.

      It's been confirmed that banksy is one man. His identity isn't public, but several other artists know who he is. There ARE other artists that have helped him pull these things off, but the art itself is his and his alone.

    There's no way the museums weren't in on the stunt. The curators at the museums know every single peice of art in the museum. Even if security didn't notice (which is almost impossible) the curators would immediately notice. It's like breaking into someones house and changing the furniture in their living room and expecting them not to know. Its absurd. Just a publicity stunt
