Exit Through The Gift Shop
''Exit Through the Gift Shop'' is a 2010 British documentary film directed by street artist Banksy. It tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles who, over the course of several years, filmed a host of street artists at work, including Shepard Fairey and Banksy, but failed to do anything with the footage.

In 2007, three years after Link stole it, the sculpture was taken from Link's garden, while he was away. In December 2015, Link re-installed, as "The Stinker", "an imitation of ...
