Crime doesn’t usually pay, but Art Series Hotels in Melbourne are encouraging you to rip the art off their walls. Known for housing the work of Edward Cullen, John Olsen and Charles Blackman, the hotel group has installed a $15,000 Banksy piece in one of their hotels and if you manage to steal it without being caught, it’s yours!
The work up for literal grabs is “No Ball Games”, and while it’s an unorthodox PR stunt, it’s surely one that the world’s most famous (and best paid) vandal would certainly agree with.
