Banksy work cleared from vacant site and restored for public display

A work attributed to the anonymous British street artist Banksy has been conserved and put on public display in Toronto by a Canadian real estate company. Known as Guard with Balloon Dog, the piece was recently unveiled at its new location in a pedestrian walkway network called the Path. The work originally appeared on the wall of a vacant building in May 2010, around the time that the artist was in town to release his film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, and has reportedly been featured on Banksy
