Art imitates renegade
Banksy, an "exterior paint specialist" (read: graffiti artist) from England, managed to show his pieces in most of New York's major museums last week- by gluing them on the walls.
He says - "This historic occasion has less to do with finally being embraced by the fine art establishment and is more about the judicious use of a fake beard and some high strength glue." Banksy continues -"They're good enough to be in there, so I don't see why I should wait"

In spite of the New York Times' characterization of him as a "prankster", this guy's work is fockin amazin, like. Check out his website. I also highly recommend doing an image search for his work when you have the time.
