Putting together the first authorized exhibition in 14 years of works by the anonymous street artist Banksy required extensive planning, and a cover story to hide its secret until it opened, unannounced, in Glasgow last summer. Correspondent Seth Doane explores the art and the mysteries of Banksy's world, including the continued speculation about the artist's true identity, a closely-held secret for decades. [An earlier version of this story was broadcast August 13, 2023.]

    Banksy has been at this for over 30 years! And yet we have a mental image of a young punk setting up his stencils and spray cans surreptitiously. A caped crusader who inspires the world with his brilliant but easy to understand commentaries.

    His son tagged some buildings in downtown L.A. across from the Crypto Arena and Convention Center.

    Was I aware of Banksy? Yes, thanks to the media. Did I care about Banksy before? No. Do I care about Banksy now? No. Was I curious about what story they would tell? Sure. Moving on now...

    Tiresome secretive Banksy. Go see real artists like the Georgia O' Keefe exhibition at the Chicago Art Institute.
  • @maxlinder5262
    I think he is over rated ..hyped up...... just my opinion 😊
  • @joeybaseball7352
    Banksy is extremely overrated. He just uses stencils. Anyone can do that.
