But when we got to 13th Street and 9th Ave., I noticed it had been slightly altered. Now Mr. Hitchcock was directing viewers towards a warehouse. At first we saw drawings of Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, and Woody Allen, but then we realized that there was an entire art gallery called Icons inside of the warehouse. And so the picture taking began:
I'd suggest visiting it. It reminded me a whole lot of the rebel artist Banksy, but people who know more about art than I do are suggesting that its all a ruse. The artist Thierry Guetta, a.k.a. Mr. Brainwash, is Banksy's protege, and according to said authoritarians, Banksy could be using him to make a statement about the art market or he could very well be Mr. Brainwash. For more on Guetta, watch his documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop:
