Banksy in NYC Day 22: Cinderblock Sculpture, “Everything but the Kitchen Sphinx” in Queens, NYC
We have to admit, the latest Banksy is pretty clever–although Americans don’t always think puns are as funny as the Brits and Europeans. The latest Banksy piece, “Everything but the Kitchen Sphinx,” is of cinderblock, a veritable urban sphinx located in Willets Point, Queens (at 35th Avenue and 127th Street). Banksy writes on his website:
A 1/36 scale replica of the great Sphinx of Giza made from smashed cinderblocks. You’re advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
