Banksy: Banksquiat (black)
BANKSY
1974 Bristol
Title: Banksquiat (black).
Date: 2019.
Technique: Colour silkscreen on black card.
Sheet Size: 75 x 70cm.
Notation: Signed and numbered. Additionally equipped with the artist's dry stamp.
Number: 265/300.
Frame: Framed. Not examined out of the frame.
A certificate from the Pest Control Office, London, dated 6th November 2022 is available for the work.
Provenance:
- Gross Domestic Product Shop, London
- Private collection Southern Germany
- The title reveals Banksy's homage to the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, in which he transposes his well-known motif of the crown into his own work
- The white motif on a black background is strongly reminiscent of Keith Haring's well-known 'Subway Drawings' and places itself in the tradition of 1980s street art
- Banksy is known worldwide for his ironic criticism of capitalism and commercialisation, and he always takes aim at the art market, as this graphic impressively proves
