An artwork by Banksy on Brick Lane has been removed overnight for reasons yet to be confirmed

The piece of art, which featured three monkeys painted to appear as if they were swinging from the railway bridge, appeared in East London in August as part of a series of animal artworks by the artist over the city. A glass cover was initially placed over the Brick Lane instalment, suggesting it was to become a permanent fixture. However, City AM witnessed a group of workers dissembling the artwork on Wednesday night and jet-washing it away. When asked, the workers said they had been told to remove the mural but did not know why. 🔗 Tap the link in our bio for the full story #banksy #banksyart #art #artist #bricklane #bricklanelondon #bricklanemarket #london
