British graffiti artist Banksy set up a stall near Central Park on Saturday and sold original signed spray art for $60 as part of his month-long residency "Better Out Than In" according to his website.
Banksy posted a video and picture on Saturday through the "exhibits" website announcing the day's exhibit was comprised of small spray paint pieces being sold from a stall by an elderly anonymous man for $60 apiece.
"That stall will not be there again today," he posted Sunday.
The video shows a lady buying two of the small canvas' but asked for a better price, and a man from Chicago buys four more, saying that he recently moved and needs something to put up on the walls.
Banksy's art work can sell into the hundreds of thousands, but Saturday's earnings grossed Banksy $420, according to BBC News.
The secretive graffiti artist, whose identity is unknown until Sunday, is in New York for a month-long residency during which he will deliver a new piece of street art every day. Each day's exhibit can be viewed through his website.
Banksy, who was behind the 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop", recently told the Village Voice about what was behind his month-long trip to the city through email.
"I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached," Banksy told the Voice. "There is no gallery show or book or film. It's pointless. Which hopefully means something."
In a reverse turn of effect, there were also reports of local residents charging people to view the publicly displayed Banksy artwork, according to Yahoo News.
According to the Voice, most of the first pieces Banksy spread out through the City were defaced and covered in a matter of hours, but this "fleeting nature" is the appeal to Banksy's project and work.
Some of Banksy's recent pieces around the city include "The Sirens of the Lambs", a slaughterhouse delivery truck filled with stuffed animal toys which toured the meatpacking district, and more traditional Banksy art such as a heart-shaped balloon covered in bandages on a Brooklyn wall, CBS News reported.
