Bye Bye Banksy: Famous artist's work is leaving South Wales
'Seasons Greetings' first appeared in December 2018
The time on show for Banksy's artwork 'Seasons Greetings' in Port Talbot town centre is coming to an end.
It first appeared in an unoccupied shop on the walls of a Taibach garage in December 2018, sparking widespread interest.
The Welsh Government paid for around-the-clock security while its future was decided.
The piece was purchased by Essex-based art dealer John Brandler, with the Welsh Government agreeing to pay for the valuable artwork to be moved to a new unoccupied retail unit in Ty’r Orsaf, Port Talbot, where it could be viewed by members of the public.
That arrangement terminates on January 14th next year and we have been told 'Seasons Greetings' is to feature in a street art exhibition in Peterborough due to start next month.
In a statement, the Neath Port Talbot Council added:
“The council wishes the owner of Season’s Greetings well and is grateful so many people had the chance to view it here in the time it was loaned to us.
"The future of 'Seasons Greetings' is now of course a matter for Mr Brandler.”
