Graffiti Drawings By Banksy

In May 2009, Banksy parted company with agent Steve Lazarides and announced that Pest Control, the handling service who act on his behalf, would be the only point sale for new works. On 13 June 2009, the Banksy UK Summer show opened at Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, featuring more than 100 works art, including animatronics and installations; it is his largest exhibition yet, featuring 78 new works. Reaction to the show was positive, with over 8,500 visitors to the show on the first weekend. Over the course the twelve weeks, the exhibition was visited over 300,000 times. In September 2009, a Banksy work parodying the Royal Family was partially destroyed by Hackney Council after they served an enforcement notice for graffiti removal to the former address the property owner. The mural had been commissioned for the 2003 Blur single "Crazy Beat" and the property owner, who had allowed the piece to be painted, was reported to have been in tears when she saw it was being painted over. In December 2009, Banksy marked the end the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference by painting four murals on global warming. One included "I don't believe in global warming" which was submerged in water.

The world premiere the film Exit Through the Gift Shop occurred at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on 24 January. He created 10 street pieces around Park City and Salt Lake City to tie in with the screening. In February, The Whitehouse public house in Liverpool, England, is sold for £114,000 at auction. The side the building has an image a giant rat by Banksy. In March 2010 the work "Forgive us our Trespassing" was displayed at the Londoner underground. The work had to be displayed without the halo over the boy's head. After a few days the halo was repainted and the poster was removed by Tube advertising bosses. The display was organised by Art Below a London based public art agency. In April 2010, Melbourne City Council in Australia reported that they had inadvertently ordered private contractors to paint over the last remaining Banksy art in the city. The image was a rat descending in a parachute adorning the wall an old council building behind the Forum Theatre. In 2008 Vandals had poured paint over a stencil an old-fashioned diver wearing a trenchcoat. A council spokeswoman has said they would now rush through retrospective permits to protect other “famous or significant artworks” in the city. In April 2010 to coincide with the premier Exit Through the Gift Shop in San Francisco, 5 his pieces appeared in various parts the city. Banksy reportedly paid a Chinatown building owner $50 for the use their wall for one his stencils. In early May 2010, seven new Banksy pieces appeared in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, though most have been subsequently painted over or removed. In May 2010 to coincide with the premier Exit through the Gift Shop in Royal Oak, Banksy visited the Detroit area and left his mark in several places, two in Warren and at least three in Detroit. (Article states two in Warren and one in Detroit, which is factually inaccurate.) Shortly after the Detroit piece showing a little boy holding a can red paint next to the words “I remember when all this was trees” was excavated by the 555 Nonprit Gallery and Studios. They claim that they do not intend to sell the work but plan to preserve it and display it at their Detroit gallery. There was also an attempted removal one the Warren pieces known as "Diamond Girl".
