Banksy

Arguably the most controversial street artist in the world, Banksy’s works have become a subculture in their own right. Banksy’s political statements and disruptive vision have impacted cities across the globe at vital moments in modern history, provoking alternative viewpoints and encouraging revolution in the art world. His identity remains unknown, even after more than 30 years of involvement in the global graffiti scene. He has worked in many street art mediums and in many styles, breaking down the boundaries and expectations of street art critics.

Banksy quote - Banksy / Cut & Run GoMA Catalogue 2024.

Over the past 15 years, we have specialized in Banksy's street works, in contrast to his studio works, which are essentially mainly derivatives of his street art and which are conceived in a controlled studio environment. It is precisely the artist's street works that are the very essence of the artist's work and what has defined him as probably the most significant artist of our time. The artist himself has stated on several occasions that his studio works are just souvenirs. Copies of the real works that were originally made on the street, in friends' apartments and so on.

(Please note that almost nothing is for sale as most works are part of our private collection.) Availability upon request. No commissions. We do not represent the artist. A large number of the works are continuously loaned to international museums and events. The collection dates back to 2004.
