Banksy installed a stunning artwork in a hospital; its auction will raise money for healthcare


Banksy hung this stunning painting in the foyer of Southampton General Hospital’s emergency department. Apparently the installation of the framed, one meter square artwork was completed in cahoots with the hospital management. Video below.


Banksy left a note that reads, “Thanks for all you’re doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if its only black and white.”


According to the BBC, “the painting will remain at Southampton General Hospital until the autumn when it will be auctioned to raise money for the [UK’s National Health Service].”
