Banksy in New York

Provocative artist Banksy has revealed a 20m high artwork in New York to draw attention to the imprisonment of Zehra Dogan, a Kurdish painter from Turkey.

 Banksy's mural, highlighting her first year in custody, has been painted on the historic Bowery Wall made famous by artist Keith Haring during the 80s. The image was created with another artist, known as Borf, who has served time in prison for his graffiti.
 Dogan has yet to hear about the mural, according to Banksy's publicist. more
