London CNN —A Banksy mural in Bristol, southwestern England, is set to be sold at auction next year, along with the building it was created on.
“Well Hung Lover” was painted on the side of a building on Bristol’s Frogmore Street in 2006, with the city’s residents later voting to keep the mural.
The building, which once housed a sexual health clinic, will be put up for auction by Hollis Morgan, an estate agency and auction house in Bristol.
While the future owner has to ensure the “Well Hung Lover” stays put, they have no obligation to maintain it.
Last year, a Banksy mural in Dover, southern England, valued at around £1 million ($1.2 million), was lost for good after the building it was painted on was knocked down.
