The immensely popular and illusive street artist Banksy, who has never revealed his identity, is preparing for a new exhibition this coming year in Moscow.

The director of the Manege exhibition in Moscow, Marina Loshak, has selected a collection of famous contemporary artists for display. Expect something outrageous from this yet-to-be-released list of all-star artists. Although the names of included artists haven’t been released, one name for the exhibition has already surfaced, you guessed it, Banksy.

Banksy would be considered one of the most well known street artists of all time. Will Banksy’s fame last forever?

A new street artist known as P183 has recently garnered the public’s attention. He has even been referred to as “Russian Banksy” because of his guerilla art and anonymous identity.
