(23 Nov 2018) An exhibition of artworks by the street artist Banksy, which was taking place in the Belgian capital Brussels, has come to an abrupt halt after bailiffs seized the entire collection. A total of 58 works, with an estimated value of around 15 million euros, were removed from the Strokar Inside culture centre on Thursday, local media reported. According to local media, the move followed a court dispute contesting the ownership of the items. The court said it appeared the legitimate copyright owners hadn't agreed to the display, and court bailiffs were sent in to safeguard the artworks.
