Banksy Prints and Multiples: Banksy Print Editions by decade

As Banksy’s street pieces began to attract headlines in the early 2000s, his work quickly found its way into more formal settings. What started as unsanctioned graffiti on city walls was soon being photographed, framed and displayed, marking the shift from public interventions to works that could circulate in the art market.

 

Signed screen prints soon followed. Far from being simple reproductions, these editions were carefully produced to retain the same sharp humour and political bite as the original murals. While the streets may have been his first gallery, the prints proved that Banksy’s ideas could travel widely and still maintain their edge, reaching audiences far beyond the walls where they began.
