The great Hosier Lane - Banksy debacle :: A compendium of links to articles from around the web.
April 28, 2010
Sometime around 2003 Banksy came to Melbourne, and left a number of works around the town, including stencilled rats in Hosier Lane. Over time, most of these rats were painted over or tagged out of existence. One rat remained in 2010, secure on high part of the rear of the old Melbourne Theatre Company.
On the 22nd April 2010, representitives of the City council sent painters down to Hosier Lane to clean up a few tags. And buffed the last Banksy rat in Hosier Lane.
By the 28th of April the story was reverberating around the world.
Presented here as a resource are a variety of links from media sources.
