Banksy's Well Hung Lover is known by some other names and faces Park Street but is on the side of a building, a sexual health clinic, in Frogmore Street. Its address online is also given as 1 Unity Street. The blue paint is not part of the original work. TZ70_2_P1000001E

According to an article in The Guardian, dated 17 September 2017, two murals appeared at Barbican as a prelude to an exhibition there by Jean-Michael Basquiat. Banksy confirmed these as originals on his Instagram account. In the image of a ferris wheel with people queueing up at a ticket booth underneath, crown motifs, common in some of Basquiat’s art, replace the wheel’s passenger cars TZ70_P1000449E

According to an article in The Guardian, dated 17 September 2017, two murals appeared at Barbican as a prelude to an exhibition there by Jean-Michael Basquiat. Banksy confirmed these as originals on his Instagram account. This piece is captioned “Portrait of Basquiat being welcomed by the Metropolitan police – an (unofficial) collaboration with the new Basquiat show” and appears to be an homage to Basquiat’s 'Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump', one of his most famous artworks. I am not sure about the leaping, skateboarding figure which might have been added by an admirer (or detractor) but, interestingly, does bear one of "Basquiat's" crowns, TZ70_P1000432R

Guard with Balloon Dog To follow up my visit to the exhibition The Art of Banksy [qv], I went to One York, Toronto [also qv] to see a work there attributed to Banksy. According to information accompanying the piece it was formerly painted on (a) north facing, limestone pier of (a) building at 90 Harbour Street which is or was near to One York. 200_3_P1060959E

The Art of Banksy, 213 Sterling Road, Toronto. Summer 2018. This picture has my own title, which is not the original, as none was observed in this part of the exhibition. In fact, I do not think these works were intended as a triptych as such. As for the lighting, I understand that was intentional. 200_3_P1060841F
