The Art of Banksy exhibition, adored by 1.5m+ visitors in 18 cities, is landing in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland this winter after a hit residency in London!
This extraordinary collection of original pieces by one of the most intriguing and talked-about street artists in modern history will be displayed at Auckland’s Aotea Centre this winter. The exhibition, curated by the artist's former manager Steve Lazarides, displays the largest collection of Banksy's works, including the famous painting of the girl with the red balloon, known as "Girl and Balloon".
This prestigious exhibition of originals - all privately owned by collectors – offers a rare perspective for New Zealanders into Banksy’s world. Banksy, who refrains from revealing his identity and does not appear in public, is a painter, graffiti artist and social activist. Banksy's satirical art and his subversive messages, which integrate cynical dark humor, are done using his unique stencil technique. His various works, which aside from paintings also include sculptures and special displays, have been displayed on city walls, bridges and streets throughout the world.
Immerse yourself in over 150 original and authenticated Banksy works, including prints, canvases, unique pieces, and fascinating ephemera among the world's most extensive collection of era-defining Banksy artwork.
