A collection of Banksy's originals will go on sale at the Antica fine art fair in Brussels, with the proceeds going to Gaza and Ukraine.
The works include the anonymous street artist's Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem and Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian national postal company.
The collection will be on sale at the Antica fine art fair in Brussels that will take place April 18-21, Belgium's national news agency Belga reported on Thursday.
The proceeds will go for humanitarian projects in Gaza and the rebuilding of schools in Ukraine.
"Antica’s stand will feature a diverse range of offerings, including more than 70 different and rare Wall Sections (miniatures of the wall separating the West Bank from Israel, designed by Banksy), some Banksy sculptures signed by renowned Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour, and authentic memorabilia created by Banksy for his hotel The Walled Off," the organizers said.
