A Banksy painting honoring Britain’s health workers has sold for a record $23.2 million. Proceeds from the sale will go to health organizations and charities across the UK, according to Christie's, the auction house that sold the painting.
The work by the mystery street artist, which is called Game Changer, first appeared on a wall at Southampton General Hospital in southern England in May, 2020. The black-and-white picture shows a young boy sitting on the floor playing with a nurse superhero toy, as Batman and Spiderman toys sit in a wastepaper basket next to him.
 
The hospital said Banksy left a note for workers with the painting saying: "Thanks for all you’re doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if it’s only black and white."
 
The auction house said it will donate a large amount of the money it made from the sale to health organizations. A copy of the picture will stay at the hospital, Christie's added.
 
Christie’s said the 23.2 million dollars sale price was a record for a Banksy piece sold at auction. The auction house thought the painting would sell for between 3.5 million dollars and 4.8 million dollars.
 
🌏Summary🌏
由這位神秘街頭藝術家創作的作品《扭轉情勢者》，最初於2020年5月在英國南方的南安普敦綜合醫院的牆上亮相。這幅黑白畫作顯現的是一名男童坐在地板上玩超級英雄護士玩具，他身旁的廢紙箱裡有蝙蝠俠和蜘蛛人的玩偶。該醫院說Banksy留下這幅畫作及一張紙條給工作人員，上頭寫著：「謝謝你們所做的一切。 希望這能為此地帶來一點光亮，儘管它只有黑與白。」
 
Banksy向英國醫療人員致敬的畫作以2,320萬美金出售，打破Banksy作品在拍賣會上史上最高的紀錄。根據販售此畫作的佳士得拍賣行，本次拍賣收益將捐給英國的醫療組織和慈善機構。
