Following unprecedented public demand, The Art of Banksy - the major exhibition which has brought Banksy’s era defining works to over 1.5 million visitors in 15 cities across the globe - is extending its London run following hugely successful residencies in Covent Garden and Regent Street. Doors open 22 March in London’s iconic Soho

Drawing critical acclaim, The Art of Banksy is the world’s largest collection of original and authenticated Banksy artworks showcasing more than 150 pieces including prints, canvases, unique works and ephemera, many of which are on public display for the very first time.

See the seminal pieces that brought the anonymous artist international acclaim - ‘Girl With Balloon’, in three colour variations, ‘Flower Thrower’ and ‘Rude Copper’ alongside unique works including hand drawn sketches and personal artworks which Banksy created for friends, colleagues and lovers. The exhibition also focuses on Banksy’s Dismaland, the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem and recent artworks which acknowledge the ongoing war in Ukraine.

For this first time, close associates of the artist share personal stories giving unique insight into some of the world’s most famous images, engrossing background on how those headline-grabbing street art stunts were devised and how, with their irreverent wit and a biting political edge, this visionary took the art world by storm without ever revealing their identity.

The Art of Banksy is not curated or authorised by the artist.
