Sotheby’s (Auction) Red sale next month is drawing large amounts of press due to a piece by Banksy. Banksy took Damien Hirst’s Pharmaceutical painting and “defaced” it. The new Banksy painting is entitled “Keep it Spotless” and may fetch a record price for Banksy. The bidding starts on February 14th at Sotheby’s.
