After running in London in 2021, The Art of Banksy is coming back to the capital for round two
Banksy fans, if you missed this huge exhibition on the most famous street artist in the world the first time round, we’ve got some good news because it’s coming back to town. The Art of Banksy first landed in London in the spring of 2021 after touring the world, popping up in cities from Melbourne to Miami, and following another international jaunt, it’s returning to the capital this summer bigger and better than ever.
The show is not authorised by the artist and therefore not curated in collaboration with him (not really Banksy’s style is it?) so all the pieces on show are loans from private collectors. In fact, the exhibition will display the world’s largest collection of official Banksy works from 1997 – 2008. This time around, 110 pieces will be on show, including the iconic ‘Girl and Balloon’ ‘Flower Thrower’ and ‘Rude Copper’ as well as artworks from Dismaland, ones that reference the war in Ukraine and some going on public display for the first time. So if you’re a Banksy fan, or you just want something for the ‘gram, this is one you’ll want to get in the diary, AND check out our guide for more on the best exhibitions in London right now.
