Many a visitor to New York’s Museum of Modern Art has probably thought, "I could do that."

A British graffiti artist who goes by the name "Banksy" went one step further, by smuggling in his own picture of a soup can and hanging it on a wall, where it stayed for more than three days earlier this month before anybody noticed.

It is not the first time he has staged such stunts. Last year he smuggled work into the Louvre in Paris and London’s Tate, attracting attention in the British media.
