The urban artist hopes to collect more than 3 million pounds (3.5 million euros)!
Back in May, Banksy donated a work titled “Game Changer” to Southampton General Hospital to thank caregivers for their hard work during the pandemic.
This artwork, which depicts a little boy playing with a superheroine nurse and abandoning his Batman and Spiderman toys, will be auctioned on March 23 at Christie's to raise funds for the NHS (National Health Service), the British national health service. .

While the original canvas will be used to raise funds, a reproduction will be installed at Southampton General Hospital.
