Banksy, 'Game Changer', 2020 Banksy/Instagram @banksy

"It has been another challenging week for the UK's NHS as nurses were offered a paltry 1 per cent pay rise. But the artist Banksy is to show his support by auctioning "Game Changer" (2020), a painting initially made to hang in University Hospital Southampton, and now sold to benefit the NHS. The hand-painted, signed work, which shows a kneeling child playing with a toy nurse instead of more traditional superheroes, is estimated by Christie's at £2.5m to £3.5m".
