BID HISTORY

DESCRIPTION

BANKSY (Bristol, England, 1975).
"Walled of box set", 2017.
Digital print and spray painted stone.
Attached hotel invoice.
Measurements: 27 x 27 cm.
Digital print, spray painted stone and IKEA box frame. Made exclusively for sale at the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem. Located just meters from the Israeli barrier in the West Bank, the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem is an exceptional space that offers visitors an immersion into the problem of the barrier. The hotel is adorned with Banksy's striking artwork, which provides a powerful and poignant political and social commentary on the region.
Banksy, the British artist whose identity is still unknown, is considered one of the leading exponents of contemporary Street Art. According to a study by Queen Mary University of London published in March 2016, Robin Gunningham, a resident of Bristol, would be the artist behind the Banksy pseudonym. His works address universal themes such as politics, culture or ethics treated mostly from a satirical and ironic point of view by combining graffiti writing with the use of stencil stencils. This technique is similar to that used by Blek le Rat, who began working with stencils in 1981 in Paris. In fact, Banksy acknowledged Blek's influence by stating that "every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I realize that Blek le Rat did it better, only twenty years earlier."
