An exhibition of "iconic artworks" will aim to show people how Banksy "became the most talked about artist in modern history", its organisers have said.

The Art of Banksy, which opens in Salford in October, will show 145 works, including well-known pieces such as Girl with Balloon (2002).

It will be housed in a purpose-built 1,200 sq m temporary structure.

Organisers said it was a chance to see the pieces which "brought the anonymous artist international acclaim".

Banksy is one of the world's most famous artists, who rose to fame with stencilled designs around Bristol in the early 1990s, but despite a worldwide following, the artist's identity remains unknown.

Often described as "elusive" and "secretive" by the press, the "guerrilla street artist" has a legion of fans which includes A-list celebrities.

All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

Ah, yes, Mr Banksy. A multimillionaire, just like everyone else of his kind.
