Seller's Description:
This is Banksy's third image issued as a screenprint. There are two issues of this print with the title in different typefaces. This is the second issue, with the caption in a calligraphic script with each word capitalised and Banksy printed in white in the leg of the last policeman.
Originally featured on a bridge on Old Street London, a row of riot police smile down on commuters driving through Shoreditch.

Bad boy of the artworld, Banksy is a graffiti artist from London whose work has recently garnered international interest from celebrities and collectors alike. Banksy is at the same time the most notorious and anonymous artist of our time. This British graffiti artist has become widely acclaimed through his astute visual witticisms, publically ridiculing tradition and current events alike. Making references to art history and politics, he satirically comments on culture and ethics. Banksy’s works have been shown in galleries internationally since 2002, and his graffiti has been seen in cities worldwide.

      This is so minor that you really have to look long and hard to see it. I am sure it could be removed with ease by a professional. It is on the far right above the policemen.
