From September 1, 2021

A new exhibition, Genius or Vandal?, dedicated to the world-renowned anonymous street artist, Banksy, is currently on display in New York City. The exhibition showcases the artists’ work with over 80 authentic and certified artworks from private collections throughout Europe. Presented by Banksy Expo, it highlights the most influential pieces from Banksy and can be perceived as the framework for his career.

Genius or Vandal? has toured through 15 cities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas and finally landed itself in the abandoned location of a prior Urban Outfitters. This truly unique exhibit provides us with an opportunity to admire the artists’ work in a new and enticing environment.

“Dedicated to the famous and enigmatic British artist, the exhibit lets visitors dive into the controversial artistic universe of the most influential creator of present time…” – Banksy Expo

Banksy, the anonymous England-based street artist and political activist whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed, has remained the subject of public speculation for decades. Since the 1990s, Banksy has been a crucial cog in the development of the street art community, where he became known for his ability to combine dark humor with graffiti using his own offbeat stenciling technique. His works typically confront political and social issues from a satirical perspective.

RECENT HEADLINES
In 2018, one of Banksy’s works, titled “Love is in the bin,” sold for 1.4 million dollars at Sotheby’ and then self-destructed immediately after selling. Three years later, as of October 2021, the same partially shredded work sold for 25.4 million dollars.
