A statue attributed to street artist Banksy was installed overnight in London's Waterloo Place depicting a suited man blinded by a flag as he walks off a pedestal; the artist's Instagram account posted a video confirming his involvement, and London authorities said Thursday they do not plan to remove it. The fiberglass sculpture, which shares similar proportions to nearby monuments honoring historical figures, marks a rare use of statuary by Banksy, who is primarily known for his murals and public installations.
