‘The fridge freezer is now in storage and will be returned once it has been made safe to the public,’ Margate council says
British street artist Banksy confirmed a new mural showing a 1950s housewife with a swollen eye apparently pushing a man into an abandoned chest freezer was his work early on Valentine’s Day, just hours before the appliance was removed.
Banksy offers few clues about his work, which usually appear in public locations overnight, beyond a confirmation on social media. “A council truck turned up and they took away the freezer,” he said, adding that the vehicle had the hazard warning lights and a metal cage typical of those used to clear fly-tipping.
“The fridge freezer is now in storage and will be returned once it has been made safe to the public,” the council said. “We will be contacting the owner of the property to discuss the options to preserve the artwork for the district.”
