The Bethnal Green Working Man's Club claims the work was illegally removed and put up for sale in the US.  

The simple setting, which lacks the discerning details Banksy fans love to use to find his work, invited Banksy's followers to guess where in the world was located with London, Yemen, and Wakanda…

The work is a re-imagining of Scottish artist Jack Vettriano's 1992 painting, 'The Singing Butler.'

Sharon Ament, the London Museum's director, said the "only thing better than having a Banksy appear on the walls… is having a Banksy on display inside."

The case is likely to be the first time Banksy and his team stand up and speak publicly to give evidence.

Fakes proliferated this year as the Russian avant-garde once again stole the show.

It's the artist's first Instagram post since he completed his series of nine animal-themed murals around London in August.

The property's guide price is just under $900,000 but the purchaser will be banned from removing the mural.
