Over almost a year CSMO has been working with the Art Consultant, Developer, Architect, Art Handlers and Installers to conserve and install the Banksy artwork.
Please, read the sorry by Jill Mahone in the Globe and Mail.
The conservation and installation efforts were filmed and photographed by Paul Casselman’s team and here is their video:

The Banksy is going to be unveiled at One York Street this coming Monday February 13th at 11 am. Menkes will be doing a brief photo op to commemorate the opening of the piece to the public.
The artwork is very close to the train station in the PATH system.
