It was a Banksy and the auctioneer said, “Sold!” for 600 thousand euros – TSF Online

This year, Banksy, still an unknown illustrious, went to the Glastonbury music festival in England and received the organization ordering a job.

He had the paints and an idea for painting, but I needed “screen”. Chose the trailer of a truck, which served as a home to a man hired for the festival structures assembly.

How to pay, Banksy had to get some tickets to the trailer owner and pay him the expenses during those days.

The result was a painting titled “Silent Majority” which depicts the landing of some soldiers on a beach equipped with a loudspeaker. At the top it reads: “It is better not to rely too much on the silent majorities because silence is a fragile thing, just a loud noise and disappears”

The years passed, and the artist became a star. Global graffiti. And suddenly, the trailer has become the subject of much attention. At the BBC, the owner said that not infrequently stood up and had dozens of people take photos at panel painted by graffiter.
