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 print by Banksy is number 221 out of an edition of 500. It is signed and numbered in pencil. It is in excellent condition and comes with a full provenance report and pest control report.
