Comment: Banksy has captured the world's attention and held it since the late 1990s, when his controversial stencilled artworks rose to fame and transformed him into Britain's most celebrated graffitti artist. His contempt for authority is no secret and he continues to display powerful artworks on walls, streets and bridges across the globe.
Watchtower depicts carefree children enjoying themselves swinging on a Palestine/Israel border watchtower in perhaps one of the most un-carefree places on earth.
