Modern art is 99% story. Banksy doesn't create art, he created a mysterious persona that puts random graffiti on places with a bit of social commentary and manages to keep his identity a secret. Rich people don't just want something that looks nice, they want the story behind the piece so that can talk/brag about it to their rich friends.

It was almost certainly Banksy's intention to point out the freezer. If nothing happens, then there's art. If it gets thrown out, then it's a different kind of art. That's really on brand for him. Of anything, this is more of a Banksy now than when he originally painted it.

I agree with you in principle, but it seems that this thing had been there for months, and then the moment Banksy painted around it, they removed it.

So this is actually an interesting commentary, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate - the story isn't "Banksy painted a thing around garbage" and no one gives a shit, it's "CITY COUNCIL IGNORES PROBLEM AND THEN SUDDENLY THROWS OUT ART ZOMG!!!"

to be fair, the freezer was some garbage on the street so it was going to get thrown out sooner or later. I don't get the big deal behind Banksy anyway. It's cool art, but at the end of the day it's just art and nothing else. something to look at that's supposed to say something about society.
