Banksy has say over disputed Mobile Lovers artwork



The renowned street artist Banksy has said his disputed Mobile Lovers work should be kept by a Bristol boys' club.

His piece, which appeared in a doorway in Clement Street in the city, was taken away by the leader of nearby Broad Plain Boys' Club to raise money.

But Bristol City Council argued the work was on its land and it was taken to a museum for safekeeping.

A note to the club confirmed as having been written by Banksy reads: "As far as I'm concerned you can have it."

Mr Stinchcombe has said he has been told the disputed artwork could fetch as much as £4m.
