Street art by Banksy

Banksy is an anonymous England-based graffiti artist. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of the English musical group Massive Attack.

Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. In 2007, Sotheby's auction house in London auctioned three works, reaching the highest ever price for a Banksy work at auction. To coincide with the second day of auctions, Banksy updated his website with a new image of an auction house scene showing people bidding on a picture that expressed amazement that people would pay for such transient works.
