"Yesterday I set up a stall in the park selling 100% authentic original signed Banksy canvases," the renowned "spray artist" himself writes in a blog post dated October 13th. "For $60 each."
The Central Park stall made available to the general public over three dozen Banksy paintings valued at well over a $1 million.
But by the end of the experiment, only three people had purchased pieces including a woman who asked the vendor to knock the price down by half.
The lucky few who did accidentally pick up a few authentic Banksys for their "kids" or their "walls" are now the proud owners of thousands of dollars if not hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of art.
Even though Banksy insists this stunt was a "one-off" and the stall will not be there again, his month-long New York City "residency" has yet to reach its halfway point, so who knows what's next.
