被清潔工人毀掉的班克斯作品

　　澳大利亞墨爾本的一位清潔工人無意涂掉了班克斯（Banksy）的一件街頭涂鴉作品，而這件作品現(xiàn)在的價值可能已高達幾十萬英鎊。在2008年倫敦蘇富比的一場拍賣中，班克斯的一件作品拍得636,500英鎊。

　　被清潔工人毀掉的作品描繪的是一只小老鼠乘著降落傘落地，這件涂鴉作品可能是班克斯在2003年游覽墨爾本時留下的唯一作品。而就是這位聲名遠播的英國涂鴉藝術(shù)家的作品竟被不知內(nèi)情的清潔工人清除掉了。

　　澳大利亞市政管理工作人員Kathy Alexander解釋到：“盡管政府知道這是班克斯的原作，但無奈這些清潔工人并沒有意識到這件作品的重要性，之所以清除掉這件涂鴉作品，是因為它的周圍還有其它一些涂鴉圖案。”

　　Cleaners accidentally paint over Banksy stencil

　　Council cleaners in the Australian city of Melbourne have accidentally painted over a piece of Banksy street art which was potentially worth tens of thousands of pounds.

　　The stencil of a rat descending in a parachute was believed to be the only remaining work left by the elusive British graffiti artist during his time in Melbourne in 2003.

　　Cleaning workers contracted by Melbourne council had been asked to “remove all graffiti and tagging from unapproved street art sites” and clean the CBD’s graffiti-filled Hosier Lane, which has five approved street art sites which were left alone by the cleaners.

　　Melbourne Council CEO Kathy Alexander said despite the council’s knowledge that the rat stencil was a Banksy original, the cleaners were unaware of its significance and removed it because it was surrounded by graffiti tags.
