Sixty pieces by the beloved graffiti artist Banksy will go on show this Friday in what will be one of the biggest exhibitions of his works so far, and will include six pieces that have never been shown before. Among the offerings at the Andipa Gallery in Knightsbridge will be a drawing Banksy made for a band called Onecut in his native Bristol in 1999/2000: a black-and-white picture of something resembling a gramophone. Apparently, he didn't have time to make a stencil for the piece, called "Underground Terror Tactics," so he had to use white-out and pens on the picture. This is one of Banksy's earliest commercial works, and its price is a cool £35,000 (about $69,500). Previously unseen works include "Lenin on Roller Blades," from 2003, and "Roadwork Rat," from 2006. Prices start at £7,500 (nearly $15,000).
