A massive Banksy mural titled 'Battle To Survive a Broken Heart' has been installed at Brookfield Place in NYC. The mural, taken from a warehouse wall in Brooklyn, reflects the legacy of its original owner, Georgiadis, who died from heart disease. His family will donate part of the auction proceeds to the American Heart Association. CEO Nancy Brown emphasized the mural's significance as a symbol of heart disease's impact. The auction will occur on May 21, featuring online bidding as well.
To me this powerful artwork is more than just street art-it's a symbol of the millions of lives impacted by heart disease, our nation's leading cause of death, Nancy Brown, the American Heart Association CEO stated.
The artist returned to Georgiadis's warehouse in the middle of the night to paint a mylar heart balloon. A rival graffiti artist going by defaced the mural shortly thereafter.
Banksy circled back to the scene, for the first and only time in his career according to Guernsey's, to repair and embellish the painted balloon.
This donation will fund life-saving research, help us advocate for healthier communities and improve patient care.
