Game Changer

A painting by the artist Banksy honoring UK healthcare workers has set a new record for the artist, selling for US$23.1 million at Christie's in London. Game Changer, which Banksy donated to the University Hospital Southampton in May of 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic, depicts a young child playing with a toy Red Cross nurse wearing a cape and face mask. In a nearby basket, figures of Batman and Spiderman lay forgotten.
