Trailer Home Turned Banksy Canvas Up For Auction in Paris

The famous street artist Banksy paid a truck owner 200 pounds to use his trailer as a blank canvas for the Glastonbury music festival. Since then, Banksy has installed the trailer at a mud-soaked music festival and then beneath an oak tree. The trailer was home first to a British family on the move. Recently pried off the trailer, the work called "Silent Majority," which depicts a commando raid to install sound gear for a rave, goes up for auction Monday in Paris.
The Digard auction house hopes it will fetch at least $400,000, and will put it up for private sale if it does not reach that goal. The trailer's owner, Nathan, knew Banksy as someone he had once played music with in Bristol, England, and the friend of his sister's boyfriend.
