Banksy- 20 years of art and still anonymous

Banksy is one of the most popular, controversial street artist there is, he has also kept his identity unknown throughout the 20 years he has been putting at up on the streets of the world. Most of his art is political based and he does not respect laws on property and puts it up wherever he likes. He uses as stencil technique and is known to have somewhat a dark comedy.
One of his most recent "exhibitions" was spending the month of October in New York City, using its streets as his canvas. This was a very controversial month since the citizens of NYC were debating weather his art should be allowed in the streets or not, weather street art is real art or just vandalism. He would go out every single day of the month and do art in the streets and post it on his website where it was but not exact address so his fans and followers will  be in a hunt down the streets of New York looking for his art work before it was taken down by the police or by the property owners. He can also be very insulting to people because of his social and political statements he says through his work. But even though he is one of the longest lasting street artist and one of the most influential and amazing artist of the 21st century.
