Ljubljana – Slovenian police briefly detained a Turkmenistan activist travelling with the Russian feminist protest punk rock band Pussy Riot ahead of the group’s concert in Ljubljana on Thursday before releasing her.

Milan's central train station plays host from Dec. 3 to a "World of Banksy", featuring reproductions of provocative works by the British street artist in something akin to their original real-world settings.

A piece of art created by Banksy was painted over by actor Christopher Walken in the final episode of BBC series The Outlaws.

The six-part comedy-drama follows a group of misfits renovating a derelict community centre in Bristol, as part of community service for crimes they have committed.

Even though Banksy is one of the most notable modern artists in the Western world, his identity remains a mystery

Banksy, Britain's most famous street artist, on Aug. 13 confirmed what many had already suspected - that he is indeed the author of a number of works that have appeared recently in British seaside towns.

A painting by UK street artist Banksy is expected to raise millions of pounds for the staff of Britain's state-run National Health Service (NHS) at auction on Tuesday.

The painting by the elusive artist, titled "Game Changer", first appeared at Southampton General Hospital on England's south coast, during the first wave of the global health crisis last May.

Street artist Banksy on March 4 claimed responsibility for a painting on the wall of a former British prison that once held playwright Oscar Wilde.

The artwork shows a prisoner escaping on a rope made of bedsheets tied to a typewriter.

The elusive artist confirmed he was responsible in a video posted on his Instagram account.

A Banksy mural, covered up by builders' hoarding and scaffolding for the past few months, will be uncovered on Nov. 11 in the heart of London's Notting Hill area.

A Banksy painting depicting the British parliament populated by chimpanzees smashed the record for the mysterious British street artist on Oct. 3, fetching nearly 9.9 million pounds, Sotheby's auction house said.

A painting called 'Devolved Parliament'  by anonymous artist Banksy was sold for a record $ 12 million.

She portrays the British Parliament with chimpanzees instead of politicians. The painting was auctioned after a 13-minute bid between 10 buyer candidates and improved the record for the most expensive work by a street artist.
