New Delhi, Sep 13 Prints and editions by Banksy, an anonymous British street artist, will be up on sale in an online-only auction by Christie's, which is open for bidding from September 9-23. It is cheekily titled 'Banksy: I can't believe you morons actually buy this sh*t', in homage to the artist's Morons screenprint.

The source image of this work is a photograph of the record-breaking sale of Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers at Christie's in 1987, with van Gogh's canvas replaced by Banksy's text.

The auction will be led by the rare 'Girl with Balloon'
