"Banksy" work Bidding for over 300 million yen All proceeds donated to children's hospital July 29, 10:12
The work of "Banksy", an artist known worldwide for his sharp social caricatures, was put up for auction and sold for over 300 million yen in Japanese yen. It means that all proceeds will be donated to a children's hospital in Palestine in the Middle East to help rehabilitate children.
An oil painting by an undercover artist, Banksy, was exhibited at an auction held in London, England on the 28th. Life jackets and life-saving buoys were launched on the deserted dusk coast, civil war, etc. It is reminiscent of those who were forced to leave the country to lose their lives while trying to cross the sea by boat.
The work was auctioned for £2,325,000 and over ¥300 million in Japanese yen.
According to the auction company, the work was exhibited at a hotel in the Palestinian Interim Autonomous Region, but Banksy himself donated to a charity and was exhibited, so the entire proceeds are donated to a children's hospital in Bethlehem, etc. It means that it can be used for purchasing rehabilitation equipment.
Banksy left a work on the street corner of Palestine that satirized the actual situation of the occupation by Israel, and through this donation, he is showing a stance to help the Palestinian children who cannot receive sufficient medical care under the occupation.
