An owner in Bristol wanted to sell her house.
Then, overnight, Graffiti by Banksy popped up on the facade.
The sale is off the table for now.
With his provocative and
socially critical
motifs, the street artist Banksy has become one of the hottest modern artists over the years.
His identity is still unclear to this day - rumors range from an entire
collective
supposed to work under the name Banksy to a middle-aged man from Bristol who is said to have created the street art identity Banksy.
The
secret
of his person as well as the stylish graffiti with high recognition value triggered a real hype about Banksy, which is also reflected in the price.
Some of his works are sold for
over a million
euros
auctioned.
What the artist himself thought of it, he showed at such an auction, when the picture destroyed itself shortly after it was sold for 1.2 million euros *.
A new graffiti by Banksy has now appeared in Bristol, England.
It could change the owner's life forever.

Banksy graffiti on house wall - the value of the property skyrockets
Vale Street in Bristol is considered the
steepest street in
England.
The
street artist Banksy
decorated one of these houses
with graffiti.
It depicts a woman with a headscarf who sneezes and blows her teeth out of her mouth.
Viewed in the
context of the street, it looks as if the lady is
blowing the next houses
with her sneeze
.
This effect is reinforced in the photo published by Banksy's website, in which a man with an umbrella appears to be thrown off
balance
by the gust of wind from sneezing
and his umbrella folded down
.
Here the photo:

In the overall context, it looks like the woman's sneeze is blowing around the row of houses.

Vale Street houses, reports Der Spiegel, usually cost a little more than 300,000 euros.
Since
more than a million euros
are
often
paid
for the works of Banksy
, the graffiti should increase the property value of the house
enormously
.
No wonder that the work of art is now under a
Plexiglas pane
.

Owner wanted to sell - not anymore
“Aachoo !!” - with this signature, Banksy posted a photo of the graffiti on Instagram.
In this way he shows that a work comes from him.
Graffiti should change her life
for the owner of the house, as
she wanted to sell the house shortly before Banksy art appeared.
She has now withdrawn the sale offer, her son reported to a local news channel.
She now wants to think about what to do with the house.
However, it should not be pleasant at the moment: As the son continues, his mother is
paying a lot of attention
.
People come from everywhere,
sometimes climbing over roofs
to take photos from certain angles.
An early sale, but then probably for a seven-figure sum, should be a
hot topic of conversation
.
