‘Travesty’ after iconic Banksy piece stripped from London building Builders have ripped a beloved Banksy artwork form the walls of a west London building.
‘The owners recognise the cultural significance of The Goat, a piece by the renowned British artist Banksy, and appreciate the community’s interest in and affection for the artwork.
In a statement, the owners of the building said: ‘As part of a long-planned and carefully considered refurbishment of 110 Kew Green, which commenced last year, structural works will begin this week.
The building’s owners, Boss and Company, decided to remove the art for refurbishment works ‘essential for the long-term future of the property’.
Chris Bull, of Fine Art Restoration, added in a statement: ‘We have worked on lots of Banksys over the last 12 years and each one is always very interesting and very enjoyable – equally very challenging as well.
