Thanks for that link, Daniel. I've said it before, but if you haven't seen "Exit Through the Gift Shop" you really need to put it on your "must see" list. I plan to own it (but keep forgetting to purchase it). It is not only entertaining and educational but, even more, can lead to some pretty interesting debates on the nature of "what is art".
That being said, Banksy has become one of the most imitated artists on the planet. I'm not sure how one can ever know FOR SURE that a work is truly Banksy's. The interesting thing about a genuine Banksy is that he has reached such a stature that he (ironically) radically increases the property value of any property that he "defaces". He has a way of turning things inside out, that I think makes him I think he would have to make just about any short list of today's greatest living artists.
