"The showroom is for display purposes only and the doors will not open. All sales will be conducted online when the website opens soon."

"This shop has come about as a result of legal action," the statement continued. "A greetings cards company are trying to seize legal custody of the name Banksy from the artist, who has been advised the best way to prevent this is to sell his own range of branded merchandise."

"A painting by Banksy showing the House of Commons overrun with chimpanzees has sold at auction for just under £9.9m...
The auction house said: "Regardless of where you sit in the Brexit debate, there's no doubt that this work is more pertinent now than it has ever been."

900 is a bit steeper than the EB price history - is the framing / provenance the main reason for that? Or are they selling for that much nowadays?
