Graffiti Drawings By Banksy

In 2003 in an exhibition called Turf War, held in a warehouse, Banksy painted on animals. Although the RSPCA declared the conditions suitable, an animal rights activist chained herself to the railings in protest. He later moved on to producing subverted paintings; one example is Monet's Water Lily Pond, adapted to include urban detritus such as litter and a shopping trolley floating in its reflective waters; another is Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, redrawn to show that the characters are looking at a British football hooligan, dressed only in his Union Flag underpants, who has just thrown an object through the glass window the cafe. These oil paintings were shown at a twelve-day exhibition in Westbourne Grove, London in 2005.
£10 notes to Barely Legal (2004–2006)
In August 2004, Banksy produced a quantity spo British £10 notes substituting the picture the Queen's head with Diana, Princess Wales's head and changing the text "Bank England" to "Banksy England." Someone threw a large wad these into a crowd at Notting Hill Carnival that year, which some recipients then tried to spend in local shops. These notes were also given with invitations to a Santa's Ghetto exhibition by Pictures on Walls. The individual notes have since been selling on eBay for about £200 each. A wad the notes were also thrown over a fence and into the crowd near the NME signing tent at The Reading Festival. A limited run 50 signed posters containing ten uncut notes were also produced and sold by Pictures on Walls for £100 each to commemorate the death Princess Diana. One these sold in October 2007 at Bonhams auction house in London for £24,000.
