Banksy

Banksy, arguably the most well-known street artist of our time, is renowned for his urban interventions that exhibit a sharp political edge and irreverent wit. The artist has altered street signs, printed his own counterfeit money, and hung his own artwork in the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art, all of which have contributed to his mystique by keeping his identity anonymous. His criticisms of terrorism, political power, consumerism, and the place of art and its exhibition frequently make use of stencils and spray paint. His studio-produced pieces, street art, and installations have been displayed in Bethlehem, New York, London, and Los Angeles, among other places. His artwork has sold for eight figures at auction and has generated a lot of interest on the secondary market.
