News (AP) - Detroit gallery allowed to display Banksy mural

DETROIT (AP) -- A judge will let a Detroit art gallery keep displaying a mural by British graffiti artist Banksy. Wayne County Circuit Judge Gershwin Drain ruled Wednesday that 555 galleries and studio can keep the 8-foot, 1,500-pound section of cinderblock wall for at least nine months, heading toward a June 2011 civil trial. Drain says the mural is in no danger of being destroyed or sold. Bioresource Inc. sued the gallery in July over the mural's removal from the vacant Packard car plant in Detroit. The company says the mural was taken without permission and could be worth $100,000 or more. Gallery workers removed the mural in May. It features a figure of a child holding a bucket of red paint and brush alongside the message: "I remember when all this was trees." Published: Fri, Sep 3, 2010
