Check this out (if you happen to be in London at this very moment): A new exhibit is now showing artwork by British graffiti artist Banksy face to face with pop artist Andy Warhol.
The Hospital Gallery in London has opened Warhol vs Banksy, an exhibit that features about 40 similar works by the two artists displayed together. Andy's famous Marilyn screen prints created in the 1960s hang next to Bansky's screen prints of celebrity icon for another generation, Kate Moss.
It is quite a feat for an infamous street artist to be shown next to Warhol. Should be a great show.
Where?
Hospital Gallery, London (Lucky Londoners!)

Don't know if this was him... Don't really think so, but it was clever none the less.
metro : CCTV cameras captured images of a man, thought to be guerilla artist Banksy, stencilling a Marilyn Monroe drawing on the pavement.
The artist created the image outside the exhibition Warhol vs Banksy, which pairs the legendary pop artist's work with the famous British name.
CBC : An image of Marilyn Monroe was discovered on the pavement following Thursday night's launch party for the exhibit.
