NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- An oil painting reworked by British street artist Banksy was sold for $615,000, with proceeds going to homeless charity Housing Works in New York.
Banksy bought the original painting -- a nature scene -- from a New York charity thrift store for $50 Tuesday, painted in a Nazi sitting on a bench, titled it "The Banality of The Banality of Evil" and sold it online Thursday, The Daily Telegraph reported.
