How is Banksy still anonymous?
1 Answer
Banksy is still anonymous because of a couple of reasons. For one thing, the street artist often wears masks, disguises and costumes to prevent people from identifying him while he works. In addition, his stencil style allows him to produce works quickly, so he can often finish before anyone spots him. His tendency to choose out-of-the-way locations also benefits him, and there is an extensive team that handles media inquiries, art sales and other matters on his behalf to help conceal his identity. On 1stDibs, find a range of Banksy art.
