Street artist Banksy set up a stall in New York's Central Park Saturday, selling his original pieces — worth tens of thousands of dollars each — for $60.

The event was documented on video and posted on Banksy's website. It took several hours for the first artwork to be sold, to a lady who managed to negotiate a 50% discount for two small canvases. There were only two more buyers, and by 6 p.m. the stall was closed with total earnings of $420.

For comparison, in 2007 Banksy's work "Space Girl & Bird" was purchased for $578,000, and in 2008 his canvas "Keep it Spotless" was sold for $1,870,000.

The three buyers who managed to buy Banksy's originals for a fraction of their worth will surely be happy with the purchases.

The one-off sale was another stunt by the secretive artist who just enjoys yanking the public's chain like this. In 2009 he staged his biggest-ever British exhibition in the Bristol Museum in almost complete secrecy.

And this was not the only stunt Banksy pulled during his visit to New York. A couple of days earlier he also delivered a truck full of stuffed animals to a slaughterhouse in Brooklyn.
