The graffiti in the picture has been sold. The wall was painted by British graffiti artist Banksy. It was sold on eBay for ￡208,100 (NT$13.16 million) last week.
The painting shows an artist putting the finishing touches on a large red painting of the real artist's name - Banksy.
The art appeared in September on the wall in Portobello Road, Notting Hill, west London. Banksy got some men to put up scaffolding so that no one could see what he was doing.
The piece was sold by Luti Fagbenle who owns the wall that the graffiti was painted on. The sale attracted 69 bids. The buyer now has to pay to move the work of art and replace the wall.
A representative for Banksy confirmed that Banksy had painted the piece. The representative said that Banksy won't comment on the sale.
Banksy, originally from Bristol, western England, has attracted a global following with his graffiti paintings on the walls of London buildings.
