What is Banksy's real identity?
1 Answer
No one knows Banksy's real identity. Over the course of his career, Banksy has managed to remain anonymous. To do so, he has delegated his business affairs, such as sales and authentication, to the company Pest Control. Banksy's continued anonymity is also made possible by his tendency to place his work in out-of-the-way areas and his style, which allows him to make his art quickly. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Banksy art.
