Banksy’s Well Hung Lover to be sold with Bristol building it is painted on

One of Banksy’s most beloved works is being sold at auction with the Bristol building it was created on.

The work, known as Well Hung Lover, shows an image of a man hanging from a window ledge as a cheated rival searches for him and a woman stands by.

It appeared in 2006 on the wall of a sexual health clinic, though the street artist is said not to have realised what the building was.

The estate agent Hollis Morgan is selling the building – and so the Banksy – with a new 250-year lease at an auction next year.
