LONDON - British artist Banksy's"remix"of a masterpiece by Impressionist painter Claude Monet is going up for auction on Oct 21 and is expected to fetch between 3 and 5 million pounds , Sotheby's said on Monday .

But in Banksy's version, the idyll has turned into a modern day dumping ground where two abandoned shopping trolleys and an orange traffic cone float in the water. The Bristol-born artist, who keeps his identity a secret, is known for his political and social graffiti work."Show me the Monet" was part of a series of what Banksy called"remixes" of famous artworks.

In October last year, a large Banksy painting depicting primates sitting in Britain's parliament sold for more than US$12 million , a record price at auction for a work by the secretive British street artist, according to Sotheby's.
