Banksy Claims Authorship Of London Sculpture
A seven-meter-tall statue honoring Queen Elizabeth II is scheduled to be erected near Buckingham Palace in London. Representatives for the artist confirmed the authorship, though the artist's personal identity remains unknown. Prosecutors reported that at least 17 adults and 8 employees showed symptoms of poisoning in a separate incident. The artwork is noted for containing political messages. Crowds of residents and tourists gathered at the site on Thursday morning. The piece features a signature that led to the initial speculation of its authorship. Street artist Banksy has installed an entire statue on a plinth in central London. The sculpture is located in Waterloo Place, near Trafalgar Square and the statues of Edward VII and Florence Nightingale. Unlike his typical graffiti style, this work was delivered as a complete sculptural piece.
