    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.

     

  • “The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules.”

    — Banksy, Wall and Piece
    Banksy’s signed editions mark a pivotal shift in how street art was seen and understood. At a time when graffiti was still widely dismissed as vandalism, his work helped reframe it as a powerful artistic and political tool. By moving select pieces from walls to paper, he blurred the lines between the street and the gallery, forcing the art world to reckon with imagery that was never meant to play by its rules. These editions retain the clarity, satire and resistance that first defined his public works, offering a new way to engage with the ideas at their core.
