Banksy Vegas Exhibition

Banksy’s ironic and witty works are a protest against politics, war, capitalism and mortality. His works have become a hunting ground for journalists, photographers, vandals and art critics. The so-called “Banksy effect,” a huge interest in street art and street artists, blew up the world art market, resulting in graffiti works being sold for record amounts. The height of Banksy’s struggle with the art establishment was his performance at the Sotheby’s auction, where he destroyed his famous “Girl with Red Balloon.” in front of a live audience.

The Banksy effect marches on, evident in the recent Sotheby’s sale of his chimp-depicting “Devolved Parliament”, which sold for more than $12 million. Banksy’s art is modern mythology shrouded in secret, intrigue, provocation and scandal.

The exhibition is a limited engagement, and runs through Sunday, April 5, 2020.
