11.

In the year 2000 strange
paintings appeared on the
sides of buildings in Bristol
and London. These weren’t
drawings by bored [bo:d]
teenagers

12.

They were funny and very
artistic. But who was the
artist? Nobody knew [nju:].

13.

Over the next few [fju:]
years more and more of
these amazing pictures
appeared

14.

Usually people hate graffiti:
they think it’s ugly and
unattractive, just a form of
vandalism [vændəlizm].
And of course it’s illegal.
But this work was different

15.

Some of the paintings were
funny, some were
frightening [fraitəniŋ], but
they were always interesting
and original

16.

Some people said the artist
was called Banksy. But who
was Banksy? It became a huge
[hju:dʒ] mystery and several
newspapers tried to find out
Banksy’s real identity [ai’dentiti]

17.

It was fantastic publicity for
the artist and his work
became famous in America
and Australia. In 2007 a
gallery in London sold one
of his paintings for $576000

18.

In 2009 Bristol City Art
Gallery organized an
exhibition [ekzi’biʃən] of
his work. More than 300000
visitors came to the
exhibition [ekzi’biʃən]

19.

But nobody knew [nju:]
Banksy’s real name, not
even the manager of the
gallery

20.

Of course, some people
think it’s shocking that
paintings on the sides of
buildings can be art. But
these days anything is art!
