The artwork for Blur's Think Tank album has been sold at Bonham's Auction House in London yesterday (October 25th) and almost reached £63,000.
The painting was created by popular graffiti artist Banksy and impressively, reached a price 10 times it's original estimate, as it went for £62,400.
The buyer, who has remained anonymous, spoke about his new purchase: "I'm delighted to purchase this particular work from the Think Tank group of works by Banksy. This work will remain in a private collection of Pop Art here in England".
Banksy's artwork has risen dramatically in recent times, thanks to Hollywood actres Angelina Jolie buying a number of his works, as well as his art stunts, such as defacing copies of Paris Hilton's debut album.
