bANKSY - "Early Man Goes to Market" - British Museum
Colocado no British Museum, este pedaço de pedra, "arte rupreste", foi descoberto após 8 dias, por "denúncia" de Banksy, e hoje faz parte do acervo do British Museum. Intitulou-a de "Early Man Goes to Market". 
O Manifesto de um artista do grafitti anarquista. " Post-Catatonic"
The British Museum has been exhibiting a cave painting of a primitive man ... pushing a supermarket trolley.
The "rock painting", entitled Early Man Goes to Market, depicts the outline of a spear-wielding caveman pushing a trolley, next to the outline of a pig.
The work was planted by anonymous "art terrorist" Banksy, whose creation failed to raise eyebrows at one of London's most famous museums.
This is not the first time Banksy has stuck fake objects to gallery walls and waited to see how long it takes before curators notice.
Museum staff were alerted yesterday after Banksy put a message on his website, saying that the 25cm-by-15cm rock, "had remained in the collection for quite some time".
Museum staff discovered the rock, stuck to a wall with double-sided tape in a gallery of artefacts from Roman Britain.
It was placed beneath a limestone statue, a 1st Century tombstone found in Tower Hill and a case full of statuettes from Roman Britain in Gallery 49.
Banksy had placed it alongside a caption, stating: "This finely preserved example of primitive art dates from the Post-Catatonic era and is thought to depict early man venturing towards the out-of-town hunting grounds."

A British Museum spokeswoman said: "We're reasonably confident that it hadn't been up for that long, maybe a couple of days.
We have loaned the rock to Banksy but we are still in the process of deciding what to do with it
British Museum spokeswoman"It looked very much in keeping with the other exhibits, the explanatory text was quite similar."
It is now being exhibited at Banksy's new show, Outside Institute, which opens in London on Friday. It will have a sign saying it is "on loan from the British Museum".
The British Museum spokesperson said they were expecting it back when Outside Institute ends in June.
"He has said to us that we can keep it," she said.
